Get yourself a pellet stove. It's saved me soooo much money over using oil (and i have 3 zones as well). 3500 investment saves me about 2500 a year in oil heating costs. I heat 90% of my home for about $800-900 in pellets a year, and a couple hundred in oil. Mostly because of hot water use. An electric hot water heater is a planned upgrade for me to take my dependence off oil even more.
Plus, i'm supporting a local business, and not terrorist produced oil... and it's considered a carbon-neutral product.
And that's on top of 'sitting around the fire' apsect. Super safe. Works on a thermostat, and the bags store pretty easily.
look into it for next winter after you're setteled in.
