As winter is officially here, an interactive, online calculator can help you get a feel for how much it will cost to keep warm and see how you might save money. The new calculator is available from Maine’s Energy Office.

You can estimate heating costs based on different types of fuels, what those fuels costs and their efficiency in different heating appliances. The hope is the calculator will help people make the choices on how to heat more cost effectively.
