I have oil heat (sticking with it since we don't get gas here; I'd have to do

can point me to one..

Hi Banty,

For a general overview on water heating options, click on the "Hot
Water Answers" link he

And although the pricing data may not be relevant to you, this table
could still be of some interest:

OK - one source doesn't mention direct heat; the other only gas-fired direct
heat.

Why are there no oil-fired direct heaters?
