How this works: Buffalo averages roughly 6,500 heating degree days a year (NOAA climate normals, rounded). We multiply that by your home’s size and a heat-loss factor for its age, adjust about 3% per degree on the thermostat, then divide by your equipment’s efficiency. Real bills also include fixed delivery charges, hot water and cooking, so treat this as a planning estimate, not a quote.
