On average, you’ll need about two gallons of oil per day to heat your house when it’s 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Most oil tank capacity is about 275 gallons, and heating your house with two gallons of oil per day will last about four and a half months. This consumption will vary depending on the climate and average temperature in your location. For example, if the winters are longer and colder where you live, you’ll probably need to refill your oil tank at least once to get through the winter.

Generally speaking, an oil furnace is safer than a gas furnace for a number of reasons. Both types create carbon monoxide, with the potential for deadly leaks, but it's easier to detect an issue with an oil furnace because you smell the problem almost immediately. Also, oil furnaces don’t connect to a pipeline, reducing the chances of a leak in the first place. Finally, heating oil is not combustible, and natural gas is, so there’s no chance of an explosion and a reduced chance of a fire with an oil furnace.

Most installations take 2-5 days, including old system removal and setup.

The average house radiator has a life span of around 10 to 15 years. However, if you keep up with maintenance, such as bleeding the radiator once per year and removing any signs of rust as needed, your radiator may last 15 to 20 years. Consider hiring a pro to inspect your radiators annually to keep them in the best condition possible.
