My previous house had an old fuel oil furnace, it had seen its days so I switched to LP 98% efficient, I burned 1/3 less gallons at half the price. Two years later we bought a bigger house that has natural gas, I love it same heat as LP, since then I've added a furnace to my garage/workshop and plumbed the BBQ grill into it. Last winter was much colder than normal even for North Dakota and the cold hung around a lot longer as well, average cost to heat my house to 72 and garage to 50 was $192/month ($30 of that is fees/meter charge which is there every month whether I use any gas or not)
My father-in-law on the other hand, delivered fuel oil in the winter as a supplement to his starting up farming so his mind set is to heat with fuel oil, I showed him my heat bill and he damn near tipped off his chair!!
I've heard many arguments that oil heat is hotter than LP which I don't dispute, but with the price of LP or NG being a fair amount cheaper than oil it doesn't cost much more to keep the house a degree or two warmer than you would with oil in my opinion.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
