	HEATING WITH ELECTRICITY?
	Every year, thousands of homes switch from electric to oil heat. Residential heating customers can expect to pay approximately twice as much to heat with electricity than with oil. A conversion from electricity to oil is easy and will *save you money. What's more, heating contractors report that oil heated air from the register is up to 17°C warmer than electric heat. And your oil-fired water heater will heat water five times faster than electricity - imagine not running out of hot water! Electric heated homes with ductwork require no structural change: you supplement the heat pump with a furnace or boiler and heat exchanger that uses existing ducts. Electric baseboards and no ductwork? The change is minimal to convert to oil. An oil-fired boiler will distribute hot water through hidden tubes to new hydronic baseboard radiators. If you're heating with electricity, you will cut your heating costs* by hundreds of dollars each year! Most conversions will pay for themselves in just a few years. The Sarjeant Company will provide market-area customers with a no obligation visit to discuss your electric-to-oil conversion! Contact us.
