Top 10 Most Expensive Cities To Heat Your Home – Winter 2007 – 2008
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.

I’ll probably spend $150 this year. Southern California is such an expensive place to live.
Wait until the effects of $90 oil filter through.

Way don’t move over to my area – Marbella – Costa del Sol – Spain.
I spend 0 euros/dollar a year in heating. I don’t have any radiator, electric heater, gas heater or oil heater. The coldest night in “winter” is + 15, fifteen degrees above zero.

I am not surprised that Massachusetts makes the top of the list. It is going to be a very expensive winter here!

I live in Weymouth. Filled the oil tank a bit back when the price was 2.72 per gallon. My oil guy wants 3.14 a gallon today but will probably go up to 3.24 now that the cold has settled in. We use 140 gallons a month when it’s cold. That’s over 400 dollars for a month to heat with oil! People are going to go broke just trying to stay warm. Turning down the thermostat won’t make much of a cut in the costs at that price.
