I think they should get an exemption as it is literally keeping them alive.
I think a better solution would be to heavily subsidize heat pumps, resistance furnaces, and electric space heaters and make them more cost effective to use. People will switch to save money. Of course the cost of electricity has to be significantly cheaper than the oil.

Electric furnaces are very common in Canada, though I don’t think quite as common as oil/LNG.
