October 26th, 2007 — Top 10 Real Estate Lists
The cost of heating your home has a great deal of variables. Obviously heating ones home in Atlanta, Georgia is less expensive than in Buffalo, New York. But did you know the cost of heating your home varies greatly in the northern cities as well. Due to government taxes and distribution costs, natural gas can vary in price drastically depending on which state you live in. The same is true for heating oil.
Then their is the age of construction that homeowners have to deal with. Older homes that are more drafty and use heating oil will cost more than a new construction with natural gas. So Washington DC in a more temperate climate will cost more to heat a home than New York City because most of DC is heated with electric heat, while New York is using the less expensive heating oil.
