Youe electric heating bill is high because your mobile home needs more insulation and to be sealed from air drafts.

Very well skirted, all compromises on the underneath cover repaired (weren't many and they were small ) ... 2X6 construction (I assume well insulated), peak roof (again, I assume the insulation ... will not know until snow on the roof)

I've toyed with the idea of putting 1" styrofoam insulation around the inside of the skirting (16X70 ft mobile home, 4 block high, about 30" headroom underneath) .. and putting a thermostatted heat source to keep the floor warmer (though an electric MH is constructed with about 20" air space w/2 insulation blankets before THE FLOOR) .. so it may be a waste of money

Very cold weather for a length of time, and/or snow cover will give me a lot more information than what I have now
