Should I Convert From Oil to Gas Heating?

When it is time to convert from oil to gas heating, it’s important to consider the underlying variables associated with a process such as this.

You will need to account for whether or not there’s a gas main attached to the property, the cost of the conversion, and the age of the heating system along with potential rebates.

Here is a breakdown of what the conversion is going to entail.

Presence Of A Gas Main

Let’s start with the basics.

You will need to see whether or not there is a gas main hooked to the property. A new gas line is going to cost $1,000 right off the bat and this number can rise depending on the circumstances of your property. You might also need permission from others in the area to get this type of installation done.

Cost Of The Conversion

You will have to think about the overall cost of the conversion. This can start to add up if you will need a gas main, chimney liner, and/or other elements that are not already present.

YOu will need a specialist to take a look at your property to see what’s required and what’s not. This will help put together a more personalized quote for your home.

Age Of The System

It is also important to look at the age of the heating system. A system that is older than ten years might have to be replaced for the conversion to take place.

This means you are adding $5,000+ to the bill.

This is something that is a sizable difference-maker when it comes to the value of converting to gas heating over the short and long term.

Rebates

It’s important to think about potential rebates that are available to you in a situation such as this. A property owner that is looking at converting from oil to gas heating has to consider rebates from the government.

These rebates can lead to significant savings and will put you towards saving thousands of dollars. It’s best to keep this in mind while accounting for a conversion.
