When I bought my house in Ct in 1983 , the lady before me was burning 1600 gallons per year for heat and hot water. by the time I redid everything , I was burning only 600 gallons per year. the later had her burner serviced by the same people who sold her the oil. they had her firing at 2.2 gallons. i replaced the nozzle with a .8 gallon nozzle and had no problems at all. i also put a hot water heater in line with the domestic she already had. that way I got free hot water in the winter and did not have to fire the big boiler in the summer for hot water only. Anyway , its time for conservation. there is lots of gold waiting for people to pick up by getting smart about energy usage.
