PROJECTION: heating costs could fall slightly this winter

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A little good news for a change for home heating costs.

Officials say the cost of natural gas at the start of this year's heating season is projected to be lower than any time in the last decade.

That could mean a nearly 12 percent savings for this month versus last year at this time.

People who use propane and fuel oil to heat their homes will also see lower costs this year.

But those with electric heat may have to pay just a little bit more.
