A good oil-burning heater has over 90% efficiency. Even no so good and cheap one can get over 70%. The best industrial electricity-generating plants that runs on oil has efficiency bellow 60%.
- sandworm101 4y agoDoes that oil-burning heater need oxygen? If it does then it needs ventilation, air movement in/out of the house, pushing that 90% efficiency number way down.

Heat pumps lose their efficiency for high ∆T, so for winter in a Russia, a furnace is likely the better option
