Sounds like I misunderstood the gov connection. Sorry about that. I agree with you on the electric heat scenario... way to expensive. I'd stay away from natural gas. Oil heat is a much better bet for a lot of different reasons. Tricia, I cut my teeth on both the heating oil side and natural gas and propane but when I had a chance to grab the url I couldnt pass it up. I'm going to be adding more natural gas and propane as I go along. Take a peek at www.heatingoilhelp.com if it's something that you think you can use I can send you the pdf piece of the special report for free to check it out. The complete package has video and all sorts of other bonus stuff but the 87 tip pdf that might give you ore insight. Let me know if you're interested, it'll be an early xmas gift. :) Hope I could help. john Hi Tricia- good to hear from you. Sounds like I misunderstood the gov connection. Sorry about that.

As for propane heating ... I really don't think there are many places in Canada that use propane for heating (except trailers etc). Here in Toronto we have a choice between oil, natural gas and electric heating. Electric heating might be ok in a mild climate, but efficiency and price wise it's one of the stupidest choices a home owner in a northern climate could make. In my opinion anyway! Your post makes it sound like the Ontario Government came to me and offered a rebate on a gas furnace if I switched to gas ... not so .... they just offer a rebate to home owners who switch to high efficiency furnaces. Likely if we were to replace our oil heating furnace as well as the tank we'd still get a rebate. It's just that if we only change the oil tank we don't really need a new furnace (yet! but soon enough), however if we switch over to natural gas heating we'd need to replace the furnace and that's the only reason I mentioned that we could get a rebate on the furnace if we switched to gas. Your blog doesn't really seem to cover natural gas as a heating option. What's your opinion on a switch to natural gas? John thanks for your input.

Now if you only had a choice between propane and electric I'd choose propane in a new york minute. Electric will eat you alive. One more thing.... to prevent your new oil tank from corrosion for a longer amount of time, you'll need to put in a corrosion resister additive into the tank a few times per year. You can get more details on the best choice and learn some tricks on how to save money on your fuel bill at HeatingOilHelp.com So go grab the new tank. AND don't forget to ask the oil company to give you terms on the tank purchase. They want long term customers and I'll bet they'll be thrilled to keep you as a customer especially if you let them know you are seriously considering a move to gas!
