Oh no it wouldn't. We have had both gas and oil and gas wins hands down. We average at least a $35.00/mo. difference with gas than our neighbors. My opinion only, I have had both electric and gas stoves & I love cooking with gas over electric, same with the dryer.
Thanks everyone. Does anyone have a rough idea of what we'd be looking at per month for that square footage? Is oil double the price???
Your usage will depend 40% on your temp preferences and 60% on how well your home is insulated.
My 2100 square foot home is kept at 67 degrees 24/7 and burns through about 900 - 1000 gallons / year.
At a current price of around $3.00 / gallon, you can do the math.
Does the house already have oil? Can the prior owner give some estimates? Can you call the prior delivery company to see if they have a record?

Thanks for your help. Homeowner claimed to not know, just said it's like heating two homes. She did mention the company she uses. I was on the fence about calling them, but I think that's the wisest move. Thanks again!
I pay about $500 per month in oil for a 3200 square foot home....
