~1250sqft
heated by oil
kept at 63/67
roughly how long should 150gal of heating oil last?

probably have to at bare minimum list the average outside temperature unless it's assumed in raleigh

call on the weather predictors and psychics if you mean in the future i guess then

people assume the whole tww user base knows their individual situation

Nope...I'm in Juneau, AK

I post about it all the time...I expect one of them to have noticed this.

any idea what the BTU output of the heater is?

Don't know.

House was built in 64.
1314 sqft
Most of the house is well-sealed and insulated, but there's a shoddy addition with almost no insulation, new windows, on a slab. The rest is above an insulated crawlspace, and the attic is insulated too. The whole house has new windows that seal wonderfully

depends on the outside temp, if its below 50 you'd be lucky for it to last a couple months, below 30, maybe 4-5 weeks

oil heaters need tune ups just like your car, if you don't adjust the air, it will burn too rich or lean, and if you don't clean the soot off the heat exchanger every once in a while, all the heat will go right up the flue and never get transferred
