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

I fear natural gas prices are about to take off like a scared rabbit.
I won't bore you with the technical reasons (there are several and all
decidedly negative); I'll simply note that the Nymex Henry Hub price
closed Friday at $10.78 per MMBtu and that's more than double the
front-month close of just eight months ago. What's also interesting
is that inventory levels are falling at a time when they normally rise
in advance of the summer a/c season; that suggests price will be under
even greater pressure come fall -- if it turns out to be another hot
summer and all those gas turbines are busting their asses keeping
those a/c units humming, things could turn a tad ugly.
