Quotecheck your nozzle  size ,, some oil company will install larger nozzle then you need, so you need more fuel

That actually already happened to me, last winter once a month I was calling the furnace guy to come clean it
because the whatcha giggers that look like grates on top were getting clogged up.  ( Learned how to do that myself now )
I thought something was fishy so a guy I went to school with just opened up a heating/cooling buisness
came over and cleaned it and told me the nozzle was way too big and not recomended period.
I had the nozzle changed and havent had a problem since.  Not sure if it was the previous owners of the house were getting screwed or the first repair man that  I had tried screwin me, either way it didnt feel nice !!!

Oh... 70 degree would be nice, my thermostat stays at 60 unless I'm not home to monitor it LOL.

I am using the Edenpure heater this year to see how it works out. When they told me that heating oil was $3.72 a gallon I decided to try this. I'll post the results in a couple of months when the results comes back.

I heat with a pellet stove. I like it alot. I pay $240 for a ton and it'll last me just over a month. I have a tri-level home, I put it in the lowest part of the house and turn all the ceiling fans to the updraft position and set a high speed fan next to the stove and it works great.  I do have to keep a generator in the garage though for when the power goes out to keep heat in the house. Everyone around here keeps tellin me I need a wood burner.. :rolleye:..like hell...while there cuttin, splittin, and stackin wood........I'm hunting!!! :laf:
