Heating for next winter-advice needed?
ed asked:
I just got a $724 bill for oil. The way the prices are going, a change needs to be made. My oil furnace is 20 years old, so it needs to go. My current options are:
1)Replace the oil furnace with a new more efficient one.
2)Convert to Natural Gas. The gas company is willing to install service up to the house for free. It would be my responsibility to have a contractor run a line from the house to the furnace and buy a new furnace.
3)Purchase and install a coal stove: I live in Central PA (coal region). 1 ton of coal is about $200. My buddy burned 3 tons this winter in his larger house.
4)Purchase and install a corn/wood pellet stove. Also, cheap in the area.
I would appreciate anyone with experience in this field’s opinion. No way I can afford to heat the house next winter if oil prices continue to rise. Thanks.
