ENERGY GUIDE

What is the cheapest heating fuel?

The cheapest heating option depends on local fuel prices, equipment efficiency and heating demand. There is no single cheapest fuel everywhere.

How to compare costs

Use the calculator to compare the cost of delivered heat from electricity, gas, heating oil, LPG, pellets and heat pumps.

Regional prices, supplier terms, installation costs and maintenance also matter for long-term decisions.

Illustrative energy values and examples are not live supplier quotations. Verify assumptions for your fuel and equipment.
