You need to get rid of all that obsolete technology. (And the chimney)
You can get a gas system now that will use less than a third of your
present fuel.

It is a steam radiator heating system and I don't think there is such a
thing as a high efficiency direct-vent steam heat system. It is a one-pipe
steam radiator heat system, which means it cannot be practically converted
to a two-pipe hot water radiator heat system. Plus, there are two homes
here -- mine and the house that is attached to mine. So, that would mean two
new heaters and two completely new heating systems through both houses, plus
two new hot water heaters.
