[UC] Oil vs. Gas Heat

[Shaera]

Wow, Scott really knows his stuff!        Having lived in places that used one or the other (grew up with oil heat) I     agree with the whole having to have the extra tank, the smell, etc.  There  is    also the ... It's the middle of winter, we're had a storm, low on oil and the     company can't deliver ... or the oil company just isn't coming out.  Those     types of stories, of people signing contracts and paying for oil delivery  and    never getting it are usually on the news at least once or twice every  winter.        Gas heat is IMO much better, even with the cost of heat.  I think? it  ends    up evening out depending on how much oil you use, the cost per gallon vs.  what    the gas company is charging.   Biggest downside to PGW that I can  think of    right now?  Don't forget to pay your bill on time.   They'll shut your service    off if it's late.        Depending on the house and the condition of the chimney, you may have to  get    that relined before you can get a new heating system.  That just  happened to    a friend of ours.            Wendy
