answers

Heating oil equipment is more efficient than natural gas. It has an energy content of 139kBTU (kilo British Thermal Units) per gallon. Natural gas has an energy content of 100kBTU. Natural gas is primarily made of methane. Propane can be used in gas burners. Natural gas boilers require less maintenance than oil burners, but a gas leak can be catastrophic.
