I'm not sure what I'd do in your place Larry. I guess if the furnace is failing on a regular basis you'd have to completely replace it or do major repairs to it if you keep the oil. Personally, I'm not fond of the mess/smell with oil heat and furnaces but I hear they are more efficient these days than the ones I grew up with.

We have natural gas in our house and I love it. But I have to say the price has gone up drastically in the last few years. I don't know how expensive propane is in relation to either oil or natural gas, but I suspect it's close and of course as you noted, you'd have to have it refilled regularly.

I've heard good things about heat pumps. I suppose you might get a heating rep out there to do an estimate for you on all your options. Then go from there. [img]smile.gif[/img]
