I know this isn’t what you asked. But it is something that helped me in the long run.

We installed a wood burning stove a while back. For a small house (not sure your house SF) you can get through the winter with 3-4 cords of wood. They are about $325 per green cord right now. You do need to order well in advance. But it’s much less expensive than heating oil, kerosene, or propane. Or you can just do it to reduce your oil bill as a supportive heat system. Also there is cost to install. But if you are in it for the long haul, it’s a good way to reduce your exposure to the heating oil volatility.

Sometimes people have land too (which we are fortunate enough to have) and I can split my own, as time permits. Could be another option to do your own on your land or if you have a great neighbor.
