Energy Cost and Emissions Calculator
Each operation has different energy needs. With this calculator, you can either
use default inputs or create custom calculations using your specific energy
pricing information and equipment efficiency factors. You'll quickly get a
cost and emissions report you can use to make informed energy decisions. Use our energy cost and emissions calculator.
How do natural gas costs compare to electricity?
Because electricity is billed in kilowatt hours (kWh) and natural gas in
therms, it can be challenging to compare costs. We decode your natural gas and
electric bills to help you better understand your energy charges and show you what
a great value natural gas is.
How do natural gas costs compare to geothermal?
When it comes to space heating, commercial and industrial customers need to
know the facts about operating cost savings, return on investment, and
environmental impact. Compare the cost savings, simple payback and emissions of
high-efficiency natural gas heating and cooling equipment and geothermal heat
pumps by using our
geot
hermal calculator.
How do natural gas costs compare to other fuels?
This chart shows you average natural gas, electricity, no. 2 fuel oil and
