How many gallons of fuel did you use last year? You can’t compare prices to do this analysis you need to compare gallons and kWH (then convert to this years prices) to see if this makes sense or not.

Excellent resource. I’m a mechanical engineer and actually made my own heat loss and fuel consumption calculator and can confirm that this will get you very close answers! I honestly wasted my time with the analysis thinking the Efficiency Maine calculator wasn’t good enough for my purposes and needing to be precise! 😂👍
