Home heating bills this winter are likely to be lower than last year’s, due to a warmer weather forecast for much of the U.S. that would require less fuel for heating. Fuel prices are the same, or lower, than a year ago.

Natural gas prices have fallen to historic lows this year, owing to the shale gas boom, while low oil prices, brought by the fracking boom and a global glut of supply, have brought down prices for heating oil and propane. Low prices for natural gas, a key fuel for generating electricity, have kept a lid on power prices.
