Which is why I said it depends on the local prices/conditions.  That includes the propensity of the local gas utility and oil dealers to gouge in the event of a cold winter or a few extreme cold days. Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes wrote on 11/16/19 6:09 PM: Although it is said that natural ga

My rental house is built on sand. Some years ago the water heater was leaking badly for a few weeks before it was replaced but the basement would not flood. Water wouldn’t even puddle as it all drained down into the sandy earth. My house- the one I live in just a few blocks away is also built on

Good advice.Remember that there is 1 NG pipeline for all of New England. A few years ago during the "polar vortex" the price of NG skyrocketed. Oil went up but way less. OTOH there are rebates for switching to gas. Check out masssave.com Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Nov 14,
