[net.wanted] experiences with oil fired hot water heaters wanted

jak (03/10/83)

I currently have an electric hot water heater.  With a family of 5, we use
a lot of hot water and NJ electric rates are among the highest in the
nation.  Natural gas is not available in my area and solar is quite
expensive to install with questionable return.

I am considering an oil fired water heater since I already have oil for my
forced air furnace.  My oil distributer has recommended and is willing to
install a unit.  My question is ... Does anyone have oil fired hot water?
If so, what are your experiences? Would you recommend I convert?

Any info would be appreciated.
