United Press International reports a Georgia Tech study for six flooring industry groups finds carpeting can trim annual heating bills by up to 13 percent. Savings are highest on single story homes with concrete slabs or uninsulated wooden floors, with carpet and padding reducing heat loss by up to 72 percent on slabs and 54 percent on wood.
