Conversion Options For Oil Furnaces
Deciding whether to keep an oil furnace or convert to electric or propane depends on several factors, including cost, availability, efficiency, environmental impact, and personal preferences.
Cost of Fuel & Energy:
When deciding between keeping an oil furnace or converting to electric or propane, the cost of fuel and energy is a key consideration. Oil prices can be volatile due to global markets, making oil heating potentially expensive, though existing infrastructure may lower conversion costs. Electric heating, such as with heat pumps, is highly efficient but can be costly to operate in regions with high electricity rates. Propane, on the other hand, is a cleaner-burning fuel with relatively stable prices and can be cost-effective, though converting to propane might require significant upfront investments for new equipment like tanks and lines.
Heating Efficiency:
When comparing efficiency, modern oil furnaces can reach up to 80-90% AFUE but are often more expensive to operate due to fluctuating oil prices. Electric systems, especially heat pumps, are extremely efficient, sometimes exceeding 100% efficiency by transferring more energy than they consume, making them ideal for areas with mild climates. Propane furnaces can be highly efficient as well, with models achieving over 95% AFUE, and they offer a cleaner, more consistent fuel option than oil. Both electric and propane tend to be more efficient and environmentally friendly than oil in the long run.
Environmental Impact:
From an environmental perspective, oil furnaces produce more emissions compared to electric and propane options. Electric heating is the most eco-friendly, especially when powered by renewable sources, while propane is a cleaner-burning fuel than oil, generating fewer pollutants. For homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint, electric or propane systems offer greener alternatives to oil-based heating.
System Cost Considerations:
In terms of system and infrastructure costs, keeping an oil furnace is typically the most cost-effective in the short term if the system is still in good condition. However, switching to electric or propane can involve significant upfront expenses for new equipment and installation. While converting to electric or propane may require an initial investment, long-term energy savings and potential government incentives for energy-efficient upgrades can help offset these costs.
