Energy Solutions Reports

Coloradans are paying increasingly steep prices to heat their homes each winter. Since 2002, residential electricity prices have climbed 25 percent and natural gas prices have risen by more than 70 percent. As a result, Coloradans spent about $500 million more on home heating this past winter than we spent just five years ago. To help homeowners with their bills, Colorado should improve home heating energy eficiency. Because heating accounts for more than half of all energy used in a typical Colorado home, heating efficiency improvements can have a big impact.
