Check out your boiler size...could be slightly higher or lower cost depending on your needs. I heat my NH home year round....2300 sq. ft. with all my hot water off boiler with indirect 50 gal tank....and use around 800 gal's of oil per year. In the winter, we set the thermostats at 60 when we are not there. So with a little plumbing work to make the connections and an indirect water heater/tank, you can do the job for under $5000. Think long term.....and yes, you will save oil to offset costs as well.

I need to tell you that I'm in the business and have been for decades... your boiler is not 86% efficient! Maybe 70--75%! Any efficiency rating you're seeing is from the burn of the burner not the boiler! The only oil boiler that is truly efficient in the mid 80's is an Energy Kinetics System 2000!
