Had the oil burner tech service my oil boiler the other day . . . I was bad . . . since installing the new boiler three years ago I had not had it cleaned . . . of course I only really ran it one year and then it was relegated to back up status which the tech noted based on a) how clean it was and b) "all the wood" I had in my yard (my wife didn't bother telling him about the two years worth of wood in the woodshed out back or the wood I'm now working on at the family homestead.)
In any case he said something rather interesting and I was wondering if anyone heard anything about this or if it was just idle tech talk . . . he claimed that due to some new standards heating oil needs to be low sulfur or something like that (remember I'm getting this third hand through my wife) and since few places are geared up to produce this new standard in heating oil they ("they" being the techs and heating oil company) figured heating oil prices could rise in the next few months.
Anyone heard anything on this?
