We heat with oil from Stafford.

We also have a fireplace insert in the living room and that heats with propane. We love the insert; put it on for 1/2 hour and the entire 1st floor is warm for the next 4 hours or so.

The baseboard oil heating only goes on at night for the bedrooms (2nd floor zone) when it’s really cold. It hasn’t turned on this year on the first floor.

We like the insert because it provides instant heat when we want it. The oil boiler has to run for longer to get the same heat going.... ithe boiler works fine, just a longer process.

Our oil bills are less even though we do pay for propane too; but not nearly as much and often for oil.

Also, the fireplace insert can heat without electricity.... great during blackouts!!

We use AmeriGas and are pleased with them. Energy Savers installed our insert; great price and professional people.
