The house is about 1400sq feet. We keep our heat moderately set and we live in michigan. Im not sure of the size of the tank. Im assuming 150 gallon. How much will this cost to fill and how long will this last? Any info would be nice.

I live in Pa - my tank is 275 gallons I think-I belive that's a more typical size tank than 150. last fillup I had I think oil was around 2.50 / gallon. I think heating oil cost me about 1200/yr, but you have to pay for it in spurts-you're in colder area than me and my house is smaller, so i might guess during cold season, you might need oil every 4-6 weeks at a few hundred dollars a pop. Prices can vary, because oil dealers are independent. Most will ask you to sign up for a maintenace contract $200-300 more, which will get you an annual furnace/radiators checkup/tuneup. usually they put you on an automatic fillup schedule-software they use takes into account house size and weather conditions to guess when you'll need a fillup and automatically come out. May require payment in a week or a month-every company is different, so make sure you put money aside for heating oil every month and start off with $500+ for initial fillup/contract

Figure on about 1200 gallons a year conservative. Do the shrink wrap on the windows, keep your heats at 65-68 insure the furnace is cleaned every year, run an electric oil filled heater to help when it is really cold There is no cheap heat alternative anymore, best bet is to do things that will help use less energy.
