York Gas Furnace
Heat your home for less than $ 700 this year
The recent sharp drop in natural gas prices has shaken the hierarchy of house prices heating oil. For the first time since we began measuring fuel prices in 2005, the cost to heat with natural gas is actually less than the cost of heating with corn.
Based on the cost to produce 1mil Btu, before factoring in the efficiency of the heating system, which now costs 7.83 dollars for the natural gas versus $ 8.26 for corn.
This means that the average household heating with natural gas should spend less than $ 700 this heating season.
According to a report in the New York Times, "The Fall of strong natural gas prices has been caused by … a decrease in demand factories and homes because of the recession, along with a large expansion of domestic production in recent years. "
I can not predict how long this windfall to the gas consumed by households will last, but the resurrection of the natural gas prices will not occur in the short term Unless gas producers off the wells, economy recovers, or are subjected to abnormally cold winter.
Meanwhile, any system Natural gas heating will be 70% cheaper to operate than last year.
Besides of the conventional gas oven, two heaters also benefit from the recent withdrawal of natural gas prices.
The first is the wall gas heater. Although this type of heater is not allowed as a primary heating system, a unit of 30,000 BTU of heat about 900 square meters and cost about $ 350. Unvented models are inexpensive to install and also function as heaters garage and workshop.
The other heating appliance that will benefit from reduced natural gas prices are new boilers, super efficient condensing. These boilers are used for hydronic (water based) applications such as radiant floor heating or baseboard infloor.
In addition to being 93% efficient condensing boiler is actually cheaper to operate than a geothermal heat pump.
