What's the best fuel to heat my home? (natural gas, liquid propane[LP], oil, electricity)
The best fuel to heat your home will depend on the cost of the fuel and the efficiency of the appliances used for heating.
The best fuel to heat your home will depend on the cost of the fuel and the efficiency of the appliance used for heating. In most cases, natural gas is the least expensive, electricity the most expensive, and LP or oil are somewhere in between. Keep in mind, there are cost fluctuations and environmental factors to be concerned about. Oil and LP prices tend to go up and down throughout the year. Natural gas and electric prices tend to remain stable.
