Heating costs in the Heartland By Brooke Buckner | February 11, 2021 at 7:41 PM CST - Updated February 11 at 7:42 PM
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - During these frigid temperatures you might find yourself bumping up your thermostat to stay warm.
This could lead to a higher heating bill, which can cause financial strain for some.
“It’s probably going to go up, hopefully not that much. We haven’t had that bad of weather in the years past but I mean this year is just crazy in comparison,” Hailey Leonard said.
“I’m a college student so any prices that are bumped up from the heat, it’s definitely not ideal because I can’t really work that much, school full-time and part work so it’s definitely harder,” Emma Geringer said.
