* Enter the price of natural gas as the price per therm. If your price for natural gas is based on $ per 1,000 cubic feet, divide that number by 10 to enter above. For example, if your cost for natural gas is $14.00 per 1,000 cubic feet, then divide by 10 and enter $1.40 as your price per therm.

** Enter the price of electricity in dollars. An electricity price of 9 cents per kWh, for example, needs to be entered as $0.09.
