Oil To Gas Conversion in Yonkers, NY
Switch from oil to natural gas heat.
Converting from oil to natural gas eliminates oil deliveries and tank maintenance. The process involves a gas service, piping, and a new or converted boiler.
What an oil-to-gas conversion involves
Converting from oil to natural gas is a multi-step project. First, the gas utility must confirm service is available and install or upgrade the gas service to your home. Then new gas piping is run from the meter to the heating equipment. The heating system itself is either replaced with a new gas boiler or, in some cases, fitted with a gas conversion burner. Venting may need changes, especially if the chimney requires a liner or a condensing boiler is chosen. Finally, the old oil tank must be removed or properly abandoned.
We coordinate these steps so the transition is organized and your heat is interrupted as little as possible.
Benefits homeowners consider
Homeowners convert for many reasons: no more oil deliveries or tank monitoring, freeing up space once the tank is removed, cleaner combustion, and the opportunity to install a high-efficiency boiler. Many also combine the project with a new indirect water heater or gas appliances. Fuel prices fluctuate, so we encourage homeowners to consider their own situation rather than assuming savings.
Timing your conversion
Because the gas utility's work can take time, it's wise to start planning a conversion well before heating season. Many homeowners begin in spring or early summer, allowing time for the utility to review the request and install service. The heating equipment swap itself usually takes a few days. If your oil tank is nearly empty, coordinating the final delivery with the conversion date can reduce leftover oil that needs removal.
