THIS is my fear. A huge electric bill. Some of the houses are build in 70/80's and have base board electric heat. That is my concern. I have only seen 1 so far that listed base board was with a boiler. Most of the ones I'm looking at are forced air, but some of the nicer house build in mid 80's have base board electric, so I just close out the tab and don't look at the house any more.

So 70/80's house with base board electric heat, I will expect a high electric bill in the winter?
