House at night with text Heating With Natural Gas Cost Comparison

While energy prices have been increasing across the board recently, natural gas remains the most cost-effective heating fuel. 

Let’s look at the prices of several different fuels during the most recent heating season and convert them to mmBTUs as a common unit of measurement.

The results are clear: natural gas gives you the most for your heating dollar compared to other fuels.

You may enjoy even greater savings with natural gas than the chart suggests due to improved efficiency. Natural gas heating systems are up to 98 percent efficient while older systems could be providing as little as 56 percent efficiency due to age and the inherent constraints of oil heating equipment.

That’s the difference between 2 percent and 30 percent of the heat you paid for going up the chimney.
