my house uses natural gas and has central AC. would i be able to get oil heating instead of gas heat?

i see the oil thing outside on my sidewalk in front of my house but I’m wondering if i can get oil heat. I’m in new york city i live in a private house and brooklyn union gas/con edison is the supplier but i don’t see how we can get oil heat. we do not have radiators in my house.

You can use oil, but not with the same furnace. Stick with gas. You will get more BTU’s of heat for less money with gas then you will with oil.
