Pro Tips for Heating Fuel Cost
- Compare cost per unit of delivered heat (not just cost per gallon or therm) across fuel types, since energy content per unit varies between fuels.
- Track seasonal fuel cost trends year to year, adjusting for weather (heating degree days) to spot genuine efficiency changes versus normal weather variation.
Common Heating Fuel Cost Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing raw fuel prices between different fuel types (like oil vs. natural gas) without accounting for their different energy content per unit.
