Heating oil is typically not converted to electricity. It is burned in the furnace to create heat. Heating oil is less commonly used as an industrial fuel or for power generation. Oil fueled Turbines can be used to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operate an electrical generator.
Electricity for lighting, cooking, heating, appliances; oil for transport; natural gas for domestic heating
oil is used for running cars, heating homes, it products electricity
Uses for oil include heating, lighting, transport and electricity
can a home hot water heating system (radiators) be converted to gas fueled from oil fueled heating meathods?
no
What is oil radiators for heating in household, are they cheap to run in electricity
Coal, oil, and natural gas
Generally speaking, electricity is the most expensive "automatic" heating energy source. This may be due to the fact that fossil fuels (oil, gas, wood, etc.) can be burned right where heat is needed and electricity is often produced by burning fossil fuels, producing electricity, then delivering the energy to remote locations before it is actually used.
For vehicles, electricity has a lower cost per mile than gasoline. For home use, electric heating units are cheaper than those that use oil or a mix of oil and gas for home heating. Overall electricity can be created in more ways than gasoline so there are more sources of it whereas gasoline and petrol production is based on the cost per barrel of oil.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), mostly, or electricity generated by burning them.
The best answer I have found is that one kw of electricity = .024 gallons of USA No. 2 Heating Oil, or one gallon of the oil = 40.6 kw. It is also important to understand the efficiency of the device which converts the fuel energy to the desired product, such as heat or motion.

In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
