Default Gas vs. oil? ? ?

I appreciate all of the answers, but what I asked for was actual
experience from someone who has made the change.

Can anyone give me that?

By the way, we are not going dual, but we are keeping the oil burner,
which can be reinstalled at relatively low cost if gas prices should
surge and oil fall.

Like many others, opr six-unit coop building is about to convert our
oil-burning furnace (boiler) from oil to gas.

I would welcome the experience of others who have made this
conversion, especially in recent months.

I'm trying to get an idea as to how much we will save. I know, of
course, that prices fluctuate widely -- and wildly.


First contact whomever decided to switch to gas to see the numbers they
used to justify the conversion.

You need to do some research for your set of conditions such as
determining your historical consumption and the historical costs of
natural gas and fuel oil in *your* area and then plugging in current
costs and trends and the costs of the conversion.
