Results contradict the energy ladder hypothesis and conclude that it might be caused by energy consumption habits and fuel stacking strategy. Both demographic characteristics and education level have a significant effect on heating energy choices. As for residents' willingness to pay for clean heating, it shows that households’ environmental perceptions, socioeconomic status, and demand for policy subsidies play an important role. Our results make a strong case for policies that shape residents' low-carbon values, promote technological innovation in clean energy, and set reasonable subsidies for clean heating to encourage a cl
