Says
"OIL HEAT NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD"
And He Has The Facts To Prove It.
FACT #1 .... Oil Heating vs Electric Heating
No one ever knows the actual cost of electric heat (hot water, toaster, stove, lights, etc. are on the same
bill). Grant used a test case in his daughter's already fuel efficient prefab Royal Home with
standard baseboard electric heating. He installed an oil storage tank, oil furnace, Beckett burner, duct
work, and meter to isolate and measure electric heating only.
Fact — quantities of oil and hydro used divided into elapsed Degree Days in that period to determine the
K Factor or the homes mileage on each fuel.
We heated this
house twice.
First with
Electricity,
then with
Oil.

It's experiences such as this one that make Grant Chisholm as comfortable recommending oil heat, as
it makes home owners who use oil. Dollar for dollar, there's no fuel that can beat clean efficient oil ..
the beautiful fuel of choice.
