The Energy Information Administration is still releasing data despite the government shutdown.
The agency forecasts homes that heat with electricity might see costs go up 4%.
Those that use natural gas might see a small decline, and heating oil and propane costs could drop significantly, some 8 to 9%.
That's just a forecast, and exactly how cold this winter is will affect actual costs.
