Will Your Heating Bills Be Higher This Winter?

This is just a prediction.

The winter could end up being colder or warmer than weather forecasters expect.

Prices for electricity, gas, oil and propane could fluctuate for hundreds of reasons.

Here’s what the forecast predicts for this winter.

The most common heating fuels are natural gas and electricity.

These figures are just averages.

Of that $600 estimate over five months, about 80% is for space heating.

Gas is also used for other purposes, namelywater heatingand cooking, which also contributes to the bills.

Remember that each figure includes the total for that fuel, including uses not for heating.
