It Pays To Switch to Oil Heat

Now that there's a choice in choosing an electric company, many consumers will consider "savings" as their main reason for changing companies. Many of these new companies are promising 10 percent savings when you switch; and even the "old guy" is offering a "kilowatt credit". But what the electric companies are not telling you is that even with 10 percent savings, you will still pay more to heat your home with electric heat than you will with oil - a lot more.

So if you have a heat pump, and you're looking at changing electric companies to save on heating your home, why not look into converting from electric to oil heat for real savings.

According to the Oilheat Manufacturers Association, the following chart lists the common energy savings you can achieve by replacing your heat pump or other heating system to oil:
