The closest main to tap into is 3 miles away, so it would be $$$$ to do that. Electric would require the whole house to be redone. There is no ductwork to support it. And because the house is so old, it would be a major renovation.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-31376405931339659592011-08-17T11:13:04.261-04:002011-08-17T11:13:04.261-04:00I do believe that gas and heating oil are going to...I do believe that gas and heating oil are going to go down this year.
