Get a wood stove! We struggled our first winter in our home with the shock of heating it. The following year we got a wood stove! Problem solved. We haven’t ordered oil since November and we only had a 100 gallons delivered. We got 3 cords of wood which will last us through the winter.

Wood heat is glorious. With an older house, OP might have a chimney that’s ready to go. Alternatively a self install with some Duravent chimney pipe from tractor supply is not cost prohibitive.
