Thanks Roy, great article.
We in Nova Scotia are tied to our oil furnaces due to the lack of natural gas infrastructure (the only other options are electric or propane). Being from Ontario originally I find that the current technology is outdated, noisy and produces higher carbon emissions than should be acceptable. This aside from the fact that you are at the mercy of the oil delivery driver that likes to see your tank almost bone dry before he will take the time to fill it.
I see in the article that they mention 95 AFUE condensing oil furnaces. I have never came across one and was wondering if anyone else had? Even a search on Google did not bring up any results.
The most comical part of this is that Nova Scotia is one of the largest producers of natural gas in the country.
Any further info on 95 AFUE furnaces would be appreciated.
Regards,
Rick

Due to the free market that has driven profit margins down, in the city they don’t make enough $$ to warrant delivery of under $200 fuel…would be worse in the country!!

It is sad…that the bulk of our gas goes to the northeast US!! Get the $$$$ first, worry about when it runs out then…and our gas fields and NS’s royalties are decreasing fairly quickly!!

Thanks Brian,
I should have looked for the east coast for this, unfortunately a google search went no where. I still am not a fan of oil, but it looks like I have found my next furnace.
