Agree.
My dad still lives in Rural NFLD and uses oil for his heating.
Its expensive enough now that I (gladly) buy his oil for him. I have access to his billing account and transfer funds regularly.
In addition to not being able to afford the change...some houses just don't have the room to allow for a conversion.
A mini split, which has become so popular, will only service one room.
Physically there is not enough room to replace the oil furnace with a heat pump.
What about the rest of the house ?
