Section 8/Heating

Tariq B.

Hello All,

As it stands next week I am closing on my 3rd property (woot woot) however in this particular place it currently has oil heat and there is no A/C. Now I plan to section 8 this place and I feel that dealing with oil would be a royal pain. So I am stuck between replacing the oil boiler with a gas boiler or simply putting electric baseboard heating in places where it needs to be. What's your opinion on the matter? Thanks!

If natural gas is available , I would go for that , if it is propane , thats no better than oil for cost . Nice thing about electric baseboard is very rarely do al the units break at once so " no heat " calls are rare.
