Oil to Gas Conversion in New Jersey

Making The Switch To Natural Gas

Many people know that it’s considered more environmentally friendly or fuel efficient to make the switch from oil heating to natural gas. However, it is also remarkably cost efficient. The US Energy Information Administration can provide data to show the difference in heating costs for homeowners with oil and natural gas in the state of NJ, with natural gas significantly lower. If you’re considering selling the house in the future, natural gas heating is also a more attractive feature for prospective buyers.
Many homeowners are considering making the switch from heating their homes with oil to natural gas. Some are deterred, thinking that natural gas is a more expensive method of heating, however, the efficiency of a system utilizing natural gas outweighs the cost. While you will have to pay for the conversion and the equipment at the outset, within a few years, you will make your money back with lower heating costs. Aside from the economic benefits, heating your home with gas protects the environment. Natural gas is an efficient and clean-burning fossil fuel. Heating your home with natural gas will also give you the convenience of not having to wait for deliveries to keep your family warm and provide you with the peace of mind that comes from being free from the constant concern that an oil tank could potentially leak into the soil and groundwater around your home.
To convert from oil to gas, you will need to contact a contractor to inspect your furnace and inform you whether the current unit you have is able to be converted, or if the unit must be replaced. The chimney will be inspected and a decision will be made if it requires lining, and possible street to home gas line connections will be investigated. Finally, the oil tank will be emptied and removed from the property, and the necessary new hardware will be installed. Conversion to natural gas from oil is a process that takes time, but is well worth the patience and the effort.
