This document compares the costs of residential heating using different energy sources and appliances with varying efficiencies. It provides the prices per unit of electricity, oil, propane, wood, and pellets from September 19, 2012. A graph shows that as efficiency increases from 40% to 100%, the cost per 1000 kWh decreases dramatically for all energy sources. Highly efficient electric heat pumps and furnaces cost less to operate than less efficient models burning the same fuel.
