Heating your home and water account for 75 per cent of your energy bill, so you'll want a heating system that gives you the best value over its lifespan. Some types of heating systems cost less up front, but will actually cost more to run each year. It's important to consider both the purchase price and the operating cost when choosing a heating system for your home. Know before you buy. Discuss your options with your home builder or contractor. Here are some important questions to ask: • What type of heating systems are available now? • How much will each cost to operate? • What are the annual maintenance requirements and cost to maintain the system? • How energy efficient is it? • Will an electrical upgrade be required?
