It seems heating oil prices for next winter are going through the roof!

Convert to natural gas. It's cheaper, cleaner, and the utility can't
cut you off.


Some people can't get gas except propane. Geothermal heat pump is the way
to go. I wish I had one. If I had more info I might have tried to install one myself.

I had oil for one season. That cost me about $1000 for the winter. I save a little
since I had a gas line installed and use natural gas. New line, furnace, air, hot water
heater for about $5500. My electric is cheap. Just wish I had the geopump.

Man that oil furnace used to pump out 160 degree heat from the vents, or what ever
the overtemp setting was. Two of the cold air returns were blocked by rugs when I moved
in. I also insreased fan speed. That oil furnace was 55 years old and still working. Could
burn type I or II fuel.
