As the weather gets cooler, it’s time to turn on the heating at home again. In Lexington, about one-third of households still rely primarily on oil or propane for heating. Is your family one of them?
If your home is still using heating oil or propane, have you noticed how much more it costs to fill up a tank this year compared to last year?
For households without natural gas access, changes in fuel prices are particularly concerning. Considering switching to a different heating method raises a series of questions: Is a heat pump warm enough for winter? Will the electricity bill be high? Why are there such large differences in installation quotes? Is it suitable for my home?
Starting with this article, ” Lai Town Green Home ” we’ll discuss issues related to household bills and living comfort, in conjunction with the local HeatSmart project.
