How efficient is your home heating system?

Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. has enhanced its "online energy calculator," a tool that consumers can use to review their energy usage and then get tips for improving energy efficiency.

Customers enter their account number and the calculator will use gas and electric consumption data from billing records and compare the information to similar homes similar in the service area. The calculator will also factor in weather, days of service, and other information in generating the reports.

The calculator is part of a "Winter Ready" campaign the utility company is promoting for the cold season.
