It depends on what you're coming from. If you have an old electric baseboard system and old wall unit ACs, you could save 50% or more if you install a new high efficiency gas system. That being said, realize that you're going to go from heating just the area where you are to the entire house--that could actually increase costs. Whatever you do, invest a little money in sealing up leaks around the house, too. You'd be surprised how much a difference a little weatherstripping can make.
Central controls allow water and space heating to be controlled independently. Areas of the home may also be broken down into zones to provide heat only where you want it. By heating only the parts of your home where you need heat allows you to save on your heating bill.

My heating bill.
The average bill for gas heating can be anywhere from 65 dollars all the way to 150 dollars. It depends on how often you use it.
There are many factors that can be used to help lower your heating bill, with radient heating being one of them. This answer may depend however, on how well the insulation factors in the home are, where the radient floor panels are to be installed, and perhaps even the climate that you will be using them.
Consult with a roofer what the best insulation would be for your type of roof. Installing insulation is a fairly straightforward task and will greatly improve energy preservation in the home and reduce your heating bill.
It depends on what type of central heating unit that you have. An electric furnace will drive the electrical utility bill very high. If it is a natural gas furnace, not a very high electrical demand just for the blower fan. A heat pump demand is just above a gas furnace but more efficient. Heat pumps usually have electric heating as a back up for the very cold days. Fan heaters are usually rated about 1500 watts and are a little inefficient to heat large rooms. They will probably be on more that they will be off.
The central theme of the Bill of Rights is that they are rights protected by the government which cannot be removed.
Any window treatment that lets in only 10-20% of light or less will have a substantial impact on your heating bill for the better. anonymous@oola.com
