Come to think of it, and certainly nothing to be embarrased about but pretty
sure Ive NEVER even seen an oil burning forced air unit.
Like I said before :
See ?
And so nothing against say Nooner for instance, but.....him being in his own
geographic region and with his comfort zone the concept of ADDING MORE heat
pumps presents itself as a difficult concept....scary shit--OH NO!!! cant do
that IT'S NOT GONNA PROPERLY DE-HUMIDIFY...
Okay then lets stage and zone then suggest chill out dude.
SEE........

As you say, it's regional. In the western NY area, I've had the pleasure to
work on several oil fired hot air units.
We have also at least a few houses with oil or gas fired hot water heat.
Some use both boiler for resi heating, and a heater to heat the domestic
water for showers and such.
I agree, oil fired is much more messy.

Yeah back in the day ( Puget Sound ) most city dwellers had console oil
burner, a pair of old 55 gal drums outside as above ground oil storage.
Gramma had a wood cookstove where she burnt mill ends trash which kept the
water hot....bath tub was usually gravity fed and located opposite wall from
the stove or trash burner.
No wall mount gas furnaces there either well I'll be damned. IIRC usually
used in homes less than 1000 sf mounted on a central wall absolutel no
ductwork fairly thin yet tall say 6 foot say 20in wide or so mounted in the
stud they stick out 8 in or so from flush....almost always vented into an
existing chimney due to removal of an old wood burner.
Funny how things change as the time goes by, as well as differences by
region.
