Fuel Cost Comparison Calculator
This calculator allows you to determine what the cost of other heating fuels would have to
be in order to provide the equal amount of heat, their equivalent price. if the equivalent price of
a fuel is higher then its actual price then that fuel is cheaper to heat with then the fuel
you entered a value for.
Any cell that is yellow can be altered.
The calculator provides some typical choices for heating
system efficiency for you to select from or you may enter the efficiency.
