Doesn't a standard oil burner gun with a boiler or furnace burn at 85% efficiency, and a high tech oil burner at 95%.

Seems like going with the 85% efficiency and going with the pre-pay lower price oil deal and having the oil burner cleaned and tuned up; a service guy shows up in July and scrubs the insides all clean of filthy soot using these very long wire cleaning brushes and the heat/combustion areas gets cleaned along with a new nozzle, new filter, tested, adjusted, serviced and sold by a local oil service company is always a good plan.

Oil burners bring together oil pumped at 150-psi pressure that squeezes this very fluid, red oil, high viscosity through a teenie tiny hole in the spray noozle and creating a continuous spay pattern of reddish heating oil, that gets constantly ignited by a multiple continuous electric spark, and fed with a needed adjusted air flow intake .... all at the same time ..... so it definitely needs to get a service tune up and cleaning every July or August to be ready for the heating season.

If it's cold inside your house, then put on a wool sweater ...... and make yourself a cup of hot chocolate!

No shortage of good oil service companies in the lakes region.

And besides, except for the dead two weeks of winter, from about January 22 to February 5, it never seems to get all that cold in the NH winter, no more.
