How Much Oil Do You Burn In A Typical Winter Season??

[Slingah]

we use about 275-300 gallons plus burn about 1 cord of wood....

it's an unknown thus far....as it's my first year here..

to answer tho , i will always say.... as least as possible...

next winter i plan to have stacks of wood everywhere
enough for two winters...

and keep the oil burning mainly to heat hot water...

the whole back of the house is perfect for solar heating systems
and that will be my heating weapon of choice in the future.

it's 5 am and 2 about degrees outside
and i'm headed out to the barn to scrounge up a box of wood .

the "average" new england home burns 1,100 gallons a year for heat and hot water.

the average new-york area home burns 1,000 gallons a year.

the average mid-atlantic (s. new jersey/de/md/dc/va) burns about 900 gallons a year.

locked in a price of $2.80 in oct 07,looks good now.heat hot water by electric,so use less than 500 gal for year for oil heat.thermostat set low at nite like 64 degrees day same if we are not home,boost to 70 when gets real cold,then back down.
