Your dad is doing great on consumption. Most homes are getting a fill every 4-5 weeks. I have been in the heating oil industry for 25 years,including as VP of ops for a very large dealer in Boston and now working with 600+ companies across the country. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further.

Mine was filled 12/24. Now down to half in a 2500 sf home, fairly new.

Lot of glass is uncovered at night is cooling the house.

275 gals in 9 weeks.... Not surprised they ran out. Apparently not on autofill.

How long has your dad owned the house? Can he look back and see what the usage was in prior years.

I use 600 to 800 a year for my 1960sq ft forced hot air home.

275g (actually closer to 260 due to headspace allotment) over 2.5 months is pretty typical in my opinion.

*edited as my math was a bit off




I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.
