You have to burn 1.5 times the amount of natural gas compared to oil when heating your home. Oil is 140,000 btu per gallon and natural gas is 90k when you convert it to cubic ft which is how they issue it on our bills. I miss dealing with my local oil company compared to a huge corporation. I always had someone to speak to that knew my account and home, versus someone who has no idea. My oil company always helped with budget payments and even allowed me around the holiday when I needed to replace my system to finance it at zero percent with them for a year and I never went without heat. Switching to natural gas might be my biggest regret. I had a smell of gas and I called them they came and shut the meter off and told me to call a company and have them come find the leak and make a repair and then to call back in for them to turn it back on after the repairs were made. After having it repaired that night by my service man, I called it and was told they’d get someone out the next day between 8 am and 8 pm! I went there entire night and next day without heat and they couldn’t care less.
