(Washington, DC) -- A new report warns it's going to cost a lot more to heat homes this winter.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates propane will jump 54-percent while it'll be 43-percent more for home heating oil. And when it comes to natural gas, expect a 30-percent rise.
The forecast reflects a surge in energy costs, especially in oil and natural gas.
This comes as consumer prices increased more than five-percent last month from a year ago.
