House has oil and the gas bill is too expensive in the winter
Hey guys,
So this was my first winter as a landlord and I hate that this house has oil as it is way more expensive and requires you to allow entry for the oil companies. Do you think that it would be worth it to switch entirely to gas at some point? Also, I can not put in a Smart thermostat since it does not have a Y cable. Any ideas on what I can do to save money both with the oil and maybe a hack to get in a smart thermostat?
Thanks,
