I have twin 275s in my basement, try looking at that bill with out fainting when oil was 3.88 a gallon! Luckily we are on a level pay plan. Our supplier was usually pretty good at estimating when we were down to about 1/4 left in the tanks, but the weather got bad and snowy and they couldn't get out. I estimated that I only had a few hours of run time left when they finally showed up. My backup is a heat pump, but not much good when the temp was near zero.
Twelve years ago when we bought the house it had an oil fired "boiler" (actually a hot water system, no steam) with radiators. Unknown to us there was a major clog in the heat exchanger, that was badly deteriorated, and it was an old old system anyway. I went down to the basement and it was blowing exhaust out of the inspection port. $3,500 later we had a new boiler and a broken step on the stairs (three guys and the weight of the boiler). We didn't think anything of using oil since the previous owners said they typically paid about $800 a year for oil. That didn't last long at that price and we later put in a heat pump for when the weather is milder to replace a standard A/C unit we had put in about the same time. We did resell the A/C unit which was only 5 yrs. old at the time. Our HVAC guys said it's still running good for the new owner and we have the "new" boiler cleaned and serviced every year, so no problems with it at all.
