The answer is easy to fugure out, Your furnace has a fuel nozzle at the end of the burner gun. There is a size rating stamped on it indicating GPH (gallons per hour) of fuel usage. Get that # and then figure how many hours per day the furnace is actually operating and you have your answer. Or call your oil supplier and ask them how they always know when to come and deliver. They use a formula that incorporates the Degree Days method it isn`t just blind luck. Or stick your tank one day and stick it again at the same time the next day and note the difference in inches. If you know configuration of your tank, (most are a standard size& style) the difference in inches between the two days can be converted to gallons.Your supplier can help you with the conversion as well. These methods will work anywhere with any size home.

How big a house will a 75000 btu furnace heat?

Heat load calculations need to be conducted for home to determine the proper size furnace. There is no simple answer to this question. There are a number of factors that can effect what size your furnace should be. Example: square footage, duct work size, insulation factors, windows etc. I recommend having a heating professional look at your home and conduct a heat load calculation. Over sized and under sized furnaces can cause you number out problems in the long run.


What is the cost of having a wood furnace?

A lot will depend on where you have the furnace installed as you must have a chimney to carry the smoke outside. There is the cost of the furnace itself which must be sized properly so that it can heat the entire space. You must have the chimney or flue cleaned every year and other maintenance must be performed regularly - like removing the ashes. You must have enough wood to burn to heat the space you have in mind for the entire winter.
