That explains it. MD. I grew up in Hagerstown - probably near where you are if you are ~1 hour northwest of DC/Baltimore. I left at 17. I've only gone back for a few funerals and a few day trips. I drove there for one funeral, and was risking arrest the whole time I was there simply for carrying my concealed weapon. I went again last September, but I flew that time for my mom's funeral. I do visit my aunt in western MD every once in a while if I'm in the DC area on a business trip, but she lives way up past Frostburg. I just can't bring myself to spend money in MD anymore unless I absolutely have to.
Consider moving to West Virginia to escape communism. I'd say Texas but that is pretty far for seniors, and benefits might be lower. My electric bill this month in a 5br house was $220. It will go up in the mid 300s in the dead of summer, but it's still less than half of that $800 bill.
I live in MD. All electric house. 3 BR, almost 2000 sq ft. Our bill last month was $186. We had cold and hot days so used both heat and air. I think you need to have the furnace checked.
Is your Dad living in a 10k foot warehouse?
