As winter approaches and energy prices are still high, the need for an energy-efficient heater becomes more urgent. Many different kinds of heaters are available on the market, but finding one that offers the cheapest electric heat is more difficult.
In a recent article, the Department of Energy reported that it expects the cost of energy this winter for heating your home to go up higher than it has been for more than a decade. Heating oil is apt to be affected the most—costing 27 percent higher—which will affect New England homes the most. It is expected that the cost of electricity will rise by 10 percent.
