While prices have moderated since early summer, all of the major fuels Iowans use continue to be at a higher price level than last year. As we enter the heating season, this is something that consumers should be aware of, according to the DNR. (Department of Natural Revenue). Even if your heating and cooling system is mechanically functioning well, if it's more than 10 to 15 years old, it's up to 40% less efficient than today's systems. Rising natural gas prices will likely boost winter residential heating costs by 25% or more from last year. Total heating season bills may rise more than $200 according to the Des Moines Register (June 15, 2008).
Energy cost savings will eventually pay for all of a new heating system.
