Furnace kill switch

Re: Furnace kill switch

In New Jersey, as far as I know, under the UCC, all Oil burners are required since the oil will not burn without electrical ignition.

This is more for FIre Safety and not electrical safety. I would do it just for safety sake...I did.

And as for electric baseboards they are the most efficient heat source there is remember efficiency is power in divided into power out and all you have is less than 15 voltage drop so it is almost 100% efficient.

How can they sell power so cheaply? This must be coal fired and Canadian hydro power.

In my area, we are now faced with $.16 KWhr rates once the increase gets approved by the PUC. This is due to the incredible increases in the cost of natural gas.
