Racinbob 11,082 #4 Posted December 24, 2022 Being prepared. The best way to keep something from happening. I was just curious about the oil heat. I haven't seen many having that anymore. I remember my parents having it. The house was originally coal, then up graded to oil and then they went with gas. Those pipes stayed on the outside of the house for quite a while until my Dad resided the place. Merry Christmas!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,632 #5 Posted December 24, 2022 @Racinbob been here 44 years , always been oil , put in a new ASCENT OIL BURNER , 2 YEARS AGO , super efficient ,got 32 years on the burnham unit I installed , also did central a/c years ago , up here , typically its oil over gas . notice a lot of the stand by power units are propane . would like to have one on fuel oil . but from what I have seen the demand is so high on stand by power , typically well over a year for installation. merry christmas ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
