Overall grade
Solid overall — comfortable today, with warming to plan for.
The short story. This is a comfortable, low-hazard home today — cold winters do most of the work on the energy bill, and the air and week ahead look calm. The thing to plan for is heat: hot days here roughly triple by 2050, so cooling stops being an afterthought. Nothing here is alarming; it's a home that rewards a little forward planning.

What should you do about it?
Plain suggestions for this specific home, drawn from everything above.
Plan for cooling, not just heating
Hot days here roughly triple by 2050. A heat pump covers both jobs — it trims the winter bill now and doubles as air conditioning for the hotter summers ahead.
Get ahead of heavier downpours
Rain arrives in bigger bursts as the climate warms. Clean gutters, extended downspouts and ground that slopes away from the foundation are cheap protection.
Shade the south and west windows
Exterior shading and decent curtains keep summer heat out far more cheaply than cooling it away after it gets in.
