I have an oil fired steam heat furnace with the hot water off the
furnace. Considering the price of oil is it worth it to switch to
electric hot water rather than the hot water supplied by the furnace?

No, unless you are willing to fork out the bucks for a tankless water

If you choose an electric tankless model, be aware that you may have to
upgrade your electrical service. The one I saw at HD required two 40 amp
240 electrical circuits.-Charlie
