Natural gas remains the most affordable home heating option as cold winter approaches

A continuation of last year’s “La Niña” weather pattern means Americans may face another colder-than-average winter heating season this year. Cold weather can mean increased energy consumption for the average American household as families turn up the heat and prepare comforting meals to stay warm. Despite the chill, natural gas remains the most cost-effective option for home heating and cooking according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
