Trust me, mini split is already being contemplated as well to make things more efficient I've only owned the place since June so there's still some things to tighten up.
I would guess that the hot tub is what is driving the bill up the most. Those are energy pigs! I have an 8 person tub in front of the house. I winterize it and shut the breaker off in October. Unless you are really using it a lot in the winter it does not seem worth it to me.
