I truly wonder how much the gas and oil companies 'detour' that kind of development.

We use oil in NH.(Nextdoor to a delivery dealer)In Fla everything is electric!
I just changed our hot water heater over to electric(alot of plumbing &
electric work)The people that owned it before had a gas Hot Water heater.
My wife calls ahead & has everything turned on before our trip here but the
gas co, won't turn on the gas unless someone is there.When you get here,around 10:00 on a Sun night after driving for 2 days,you want to take a HOT shower,but you're at the mercy of the gas co,until they send someone
out,sometime on Monday!Nomore-Thats why I changed it over!Thankfully
Lowes had an electric heater! Irish :line:
P.S.Now I don't have to worry about the gas co. & their "leak test"!

Unfortunately the pump still runs off the electric, so if there's a power cut, as there was today, we're still left with no light, no heat, no water etc :rolleyes: We're back on for now :thumb:

The house is heated with oil, forced hot water. There are 4 seperate heating zones, each with its own themostat. So we only heat the part of the house we're using. (bedrooms at night, downstairs during the day) But the oil heat doesn't come on much because we also have a wood burning stove. It keeps the first floor toasty and takes the chill off upstairs. We cut wood on our land, so is free. And is great during power outages. Not only heats but then also can cook on it. (have an electric cook stove/oven)
