How much will it cost to heat your home?

The white line on the graph represents the normal number of heating degree days for each day in the 14-day period. The yellow line on the graph represents the forecasted number of heating degree days for each day in the 14-day period.

When the yellow line is above the white line you may see an increase in your heating bill as a result of cold temperatures. When the yellow line is at or below the white line your heating bill will likely be normal or slightly cheaper.
