I lived in Ca. and only knew one person who heated with oil. His house was built in the 1920's in a rural area. ( Corona ) By the 1970's heating oil was so hard for him to get and the price was so high he would get used motor oil from garages and people who changed their own.<br><b>References : </b><br> In the USA, mostly the Northeastern States.

Typically new Canadian houses are no longer heated with oil as oil has been replaced by natural gas which is viewed as being cleaner burning and less expensive . Electricity is rarely used as it is seen as an expensive way to produce heat. Recently people have been installing high efficiency fireplaces and wood burning stoves to help heat their houses. I would imagine that this holds true to other climates where there is a long winter. Oil is still used in more rural areas where there is no gas pipeline in the neighbourhood. Also, it is used to heat things like garages, workshops ... When you heat with oil, you typically have an oil tank at your house (usually in the basement though it can be outside) that gets filled up by a delivery truck. One advantage of this is that once you buy the oil, you have it and can use it. Therefore. you are immune to problems such as electricity blackouts, natural gas pipeline problems ...<br><b>References : </b><br> Historically, oil has been used to heat homes in Canada.

Probably because you may have a house that goes down a gravel road for 1/2 mile and it's just off of another gravel road that went on for 10 miles. It's just not feasible for the gas companies to lay lines for houses that might be a matter of 10 to 30 miles apart.<br><b>References : </b><br>I used to use heating oil.
