Mini splits are way to go. We have 4500 sq ft house. Built and insulated terribly. Have double oil tanks. Filled both every 6 weeks at cost of $2500 every frickin time. We went with solar farm with extra capacity on electric. Put in mini splits and now we use oil for backup only. Filled tanks once and will likely not do it again for years. Up front cost for splits and CSF was over 100k but now never an electric or oil bill ever. Still need to insulate better but oil heat sucks. Get rid of it!!

Thanks solar guy! We own a 1.5% stake in Curravale solar farm. We produced ton of excess this summer and look forward to no power bills ever again! All we pay is delivery charge. We got extra as well allowing us to install heat pumps so not only no more power bill we have no oil bill either. Ever. We figure payback period will be about 10 years and it cost us a ton up front to do it but now no more oil burning and we are green and in our retirement we have no electric or oil bills which amounted to over 10k a year.
