Bruce Coates wanted to go green when he chose a heating system for his new home on South Hill Road in Bristol in 2002. Lloyd Wilson of Palmyra wanted to save serious money on heat for his backyard shop. Both hired a Bristol company to install a geothermal heating system, which draws heat from the ground. Though expensive to set up, the system costs far less than conventional furnaces to run.

Wilson has saved more than $1,000 this winter by dropping propane, which like most fuels, has become much more expensive in the past five years. Propane in western New York averaged $2.19 per gallon last week, up 79 percent from $1.23 in March 2002, according to the state Energy Research and Development Authority.

Heating oil is worse. The authority’s records show the average price for heating oil was $2.38 per gallon last week, up 103 percent from $1.18 in March 2002. Natural gas is up 43 percent in the last five years, to $15.57 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Coates, meanwhile, has peace of mind. “I like the idea of not burning any fuel at all,” said Coates. “There’s no oil backup, no natural gas. It functions purely on what it pulls out of the ground.”
