Is oil or gas more efficient

[Megan Frank]

We bought a 2 family in NH with an oil burner that needs to be replaced. Originally the guy that quoted us said that if our chimney is lined, natural gas would be better but we would have to wait until April so they can dig. He just called back and said after doing some research he feels oil is the better way to go. I have no clue which is better and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

@Megan Frank  Be happy you have natural gas as an alternative.  Here in most of VT, it's oil or propane only, which sucks.  Check with your natural gas company - most have rebates for putting in a natural gas furnace.  Your state may have an additional rebate too if it meets certain efficiency ratings.
