your oil fired water heater maybe a place to look for a change. My daughter just put an ondemand water heater in her new house. It is Lp. It is lite by a small vane igniter (sp) inline. Unless you use used oil which is another option, this might be an idea. You can also get a tax break with a new ondemand water heater. Maybe you could plumb in line, just before your water heater, a preheater water jacket (another used water heater say 40g.) You could heat it with the wood heat as it's heat source. Put a switch that goes to the Tv's that operate the outlet that they are on. They still use electricity even tho they are off. If you have modern washer and dryer they may also use power while just sitting idle. Some of the new ones have extra timers and clocks that run all of the time. The same maybe for your laptop. I know it is not much but things ad up. Just some ideas.
