I work for a commercial HVAC contractor. The large buildings in the city ( condos and what not) have dual fire boilers that can run off electricity or oil.
It's very common for the city to put a call in to these buildings to switch the boilers over to oil to conserve electricity during cold spells like this. Our company spent this past week checking all the dual fire boilers we have to make sure they will run in oil.
They take this very seriously and if a building doesn't switch over, there's heavy fines.

It's not an atypical ask.

Been this way for at least the past 10 years.
