January 2009 oil usage: 261 Gallons.
January 2010 oil usage: 94.5 Gallons.
I've been keeping detailed records of our power usage since we moved into the house. No other usage factors have changed - our thermostat is still set the same. Thus, these figures can only be related to your energy updates. Since you guys insulated the basement and attic, we've saved $703.04 in fuel oil, $60.19 in propane use, and $76.84 in electricity. That's $840.07 in six months.
Many thanks.
