I think it will be a rough winter. Putin will likely continue his bluster at least that long, even if he ultimately backs down.
how long would you speculate the pinch on natural gas prices might be in effect? my natural gas price per therm is doubling. i'm trying to decide if i should lock in the available prices for 12 or 24 months.
Over a decade ago I needed to replace my central AC/gas furnace HVAC in the spring following a major spike in natural gas prices...~$3/MMBtu to ~$15MMBtu on the wholesale market, retail price per therm doubled one month to the next.
So I switched to a heat pump w/ gas furnace backup...and then prices promptly fell back to ~$3/MMBtu.
I'd lock in your prices for two years plus add a solar heating system for your pool.
