Natural Resources Canada's Home Heating System Cost Calculator is an easy tool for projecting savings in energy expenditures to use when it's time for a heating system upgrade. Results are based on device type, fuel source, house style and age, and number of occupants. It is also an excellent tool for determining the likelihood of qualifying for further grants and incentives based on efficiency ratings.
Carbon Zero Offset Management Group Inc. has a comprehensive Carbon Emissions Calculator that determines annual tonnage of CO2 put into the atmosphere by furnaces, depending on fuel consumption, type and location. It works well in tandem with the Home Heating System Cost Calculator.
