The numbers speak for themselves. In the past five years, fuel oil dealers report that more than 130,000
home owners chose to Move up to Oil from costly, uncomfortable electric heat.

"We had just purchased a larger home. We would not have minded our electric bills
(using a heat pump) if we had been warm, but we were not. WE WERE COLD! We have
been more than pleased with our new oil-fired system. We no longer have to wear coats
to supplement a heat pump. We're saving money and we also have endless
hot water for our family of five.

"Our oil-fired hydronic system with three heating zones gives us better
control over the amount of energy we use. We're very happy with the system we've got now. We like the heat,
it is more convenient and we're using less energy. Switching to oil has been a good move for us.
Glenn Charbonneau, South Burlington, Vermont
"The electric bills were astronomical! In one year, we spent just over $6,000 on
electricity. Our oil furnace was installed 3 years ago. In the first year, our electric bills dropped to $2,400.
It cost $2,800 to put in our oil furnace and ducting, and the net savings in the first year alone paid for the installation.
