Not sure about Global warming. What I do know is that it's feb 2nd and I have spent aver $1100 on oil so far this Winter and it has been mild. if we go into the deep freeze this month I expect to be over $2000 this Winter to heat my house. I burn wood also but not as much nor as efficiently as I should.
I took out my wood stoves because the insurance company wanted to raise my home owner insurance rates. I may have to put one back in. It's still in the garage and would work fine.
Piemma...how big is your house? Is it insulated? I have used almost a full tank at my house since I moved in August 31st....I think that is pretty good! I would put the stove back in!
It's about 2300 sq.ft. Well insulated but I live in the NW corner of RI. 710 ft elevation and about 10 degrees colder than Prov RI, on average. I'm not burning more oil...just spending more per gallon. Got a deliver Friday. $2.59 a gal for #2 fuel oil.
Friggin' ridiculous
Damn! Thats expensive! Had I paid for my oil it would only have cost me about $425.00 so far. Just lucky I got some free oil from my job....I don't always...last year I had none and we spent about $1,600.00 heating the tiny uninsulated apartment we were in!oke:
