Now that winter has just ended, it’s the right time to consider possible improvements to our heating system. The most common question for achieving savings on heating is Which energy source is cheaper to heat our home?
In this previous post we detailed the most common sources: natural gas, propane, heating oil, electric resistance, and heat pumps. We also solved a specific example to quantify the savings with each.
However, taking advantage of the fact that you likely have your recent winter bills at hand, and trying to make it simpler and more useful, I present to you the new heating cost calculator. This online application will allow you to estimate your heating costs based on the consumption of your actual installation, if you were to replace the energy source used.
The calculator is available at this link, where you can also find the instructions for its use.
