![]() ![]() My wife and I purchased this house in Oct '03. It HAD electric heat when we purchased it, our first winter bill was $280 for one month. I wasn't happy ( BIG understatement) and told my wife just to pay the bill and not let me know how much. My friend Chris owns a heating and cooling business and we had him install a oil fired hot air system with central air that spring. That's when we upped the tank total to four. We also have him maintain the system and purchase our oil from someone else. As he pointed out, why have the company that you purchase your oil from do your heater tuneup. It is NOT in their best interest to make it run at peak effeciency as they will sell more oil if it's not perfectly tuned. The main air intake for the system is in the livingroom across from the coal insert. That way we can run the fan and move the heated air throughout the entire house. The franco-belge unit is in the basement so that keeps the floors warm and the heat comes up in the kitchen ( that stairway is just inside the deck ). |
