Careful attention to energy conservation can cost-effectively be achieved by nearly all consumers. NORA estimates that the replacement of an older boiler that is burning 1,200 gallons of oil per year could save nearly a third of the oil consumed, bringing the usage down to the national average of 800 gallons per year. If the party was paying $2.50 per gallon, this would save nearly $1,000 per year. Another way of looking at it is to say that the boiler conversion essentially lowered the cost per gallon by 33 percent or to $1.65 per gallon.
Less expensive modifications, such as insulating pipes and ducts, can save 5% per year. Even a modest tune-up may save 3%. For a house using 1,000 gallons, these changes will pay for themselves in a short time.
