Cost of Fuels - Please enter the cost in US Dollars, using a decimal point where needed. Do not use the $ sign. Use a decimal point if needed - for instance, if you pay 95 cents a therm for gas, enter .95. Please notice that the electric calc asks for cost per KWH in cents, so no decimal point is needed except for fractions of a penny. (i.e. you pay 9.5 cents per KWH, enter 9.5)
Efficiency of Appliance - Common values are already entered. These are expressed as a percentage. Efficiency is defined as the percentage of available heat in the fuel that is actually delivered into the room.
