yep very true, must be hard to run a website with such volatile fuel
costs..
natural gas will have gone up over 20% since april, for the fall
heating season locally
we are getting a new 95% furnace with air, and i am looking at hot
water heaters since ours is old and really should be moved during the
new furnace install...... more efficent use of space.
if the condensing furnaces are truly 2 grand i would never save any
money...
thats how i stumbled on to this info
