I was looking at that pdf and went on to find this stuff..
kwhr excel Download

The House Energy Audit 2 My Name file is pretty nice.
Tells you a lot of good info, Nice pie chart and bars too. But you need a KillaWatt to use it..

We do have some local nukes making power, so I'm not real sure what the
CO2 per kWh is for my area. I'll have to find out, so I can program the cf
into my new power monitor. It will keep a running tally of CO2 produced.

I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that using the Sanyo for heating,
will cause less CO2 than the old oil burner. That remains to be learned.

One of the main reasons I wanted to try using the Sanyo for supplemental
space heating was because of the volatility of home heating oil prices.

AFP: Oil price 'could overheat, cooling global recovery'

Just maybe, in areas where it's not bitterly cold in the winters, this Sanyo
might be the next best thing to using a geothermal heat pump.

Once I start measuring the power usage, I'll post the kWh data
here for everyone's enlightenment.

If it turns out that heating with the Sanyo is more economical than oil heat,
and this holds true even during colder months of Jan & Feb, we just might
use the Sanyo as our main heating system with the oil as backup.
So far, casual testing has been very positive.

Cheers,
Rich

PS:
Someone is selling an Oil Burner just like mine on Ebay!
