How much oil did you use last year?
Scott and I are considering renting a house....
It's a small dormered cape, 3bedroom 2 bath, probably less then 1000 sq ft. Downside it is oil heat which we were not planning on dealing with. I am trying to figure out, if your house is about the same size how much oil did you use last year? I know this is different for everyone but any insight would be greatly appreciated!
TIA!!!
Re: How much oil did you use last year?
My recommendation... don't do it. If you can be in an apt with less $ in rent and you don't have to pay for heating... then it's worth it, believe me. Save your money while you can...cause once you are in a house, you seriously become house poor...whether you rent it or not.
Our house is about twice that size... and we used a LOT of oil last winter.
I agree with PP. It is not worth the $$ to rent a house if you have to pay for oil. As my MIL says...... dont go anywhere unless heat is included. If i remember correctly, you have electric heat now right?
I mean, unless the rent is super super low and you think that it'll break even as to what you are paying now, it just is crazy to do right now...
I live in apt that has oil, which i am responsiable for. Dont rent a house with oil because it will eat you up. My rent is cheap i am still POOR. i have gas for hotwater and cooking.
My oil tank is 250- it cost me 1k to fill it up last year ::thuds:: I paid 700 to fill it up first then once it hits a current amount i pay 300 thats it. It last me all winter only because i have a timer. so i usually put it on 4 am to 6 am then it comes back on at 8 pm to 11pm. It works out pretty good, we are never home till 730 ish so why waste the money.
i also have propane for hotwater and cooking, so thats eating me up , it is 150 gallon cost me 300 dolalrs to fill it up every 3 months.
