That’s the Actual reason for using the monitoring - understand consumption and try to reduce usage. Unfortunately this is how the home is heated. I’ve remodeled and added insulation. Thought about going gas, but recent energy prices have made me rethink that approach.
In the winter of 2019–2020, about 5.5 million households in the United States used heating oil (distillate fuel oil) as their main space heating fuel, and about 81% of those households were in the U.S. Northeast
In 2019, residential consumers in the Northeast used about 2.9 billion gallons of heating oil, equal to about 86% of total U.S. residential heating oil sales.2

- londons_explore 5y agoIs the furnace condensing? Ie. is the smoke cold enough it exits through a plastic pipe, and there is a seperate drain for water? If not, that's a pretty big efficiency win. By switching to a condensing boiler, you alone can probably save enough oil to heat multiple houses in sweden (where many houses are so well insulated they barely need any heat).
