dendrite Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Steve we went to nat gas during renovations. Last year 2 mo in winter = 600 this year 200 for 2 moI'm putting in a pellet stove this year. Relying 100% on oil is killing me. Next winter will be a cold one too since we're on the 10 year repeating pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
