Depending on your home and your lifestyle, converting your home heating system from oil to gas could be a great idea. Gas is cheaper, cleaner, better for the environment, and more reliable – unlike oil you don’t have to wait for deliveries and unlike electric heat you won’t go cold when there’s a power outage.
Gas heating is greener – gas systems release roughly half the CO2 that oil heating does. And gas systems are a lot simpler mechanically. Fewer parts means fewer breakdowns, and better reliability. Moving from oil to gas means you can get rid of the oil tank and draw fuel direct from the gas company’s lines. You don’t have to worry about your tank leaking, and you might even end up with more space in your basement!
Over the long run the savings from converting from oil to gas can be tremendous – gas can be more than a third cheaper year-to-year. But making the conversion to gas heating is a major project – running over $10,000 for bigger homes and more complicated setups. With J. Griffin Heating and Plumbing you’ll get the job done right at an affordable price. Our experts will work with you to make sure that the savings justify the conversion for you, and we’ll give you an estimate with all the costs accounted for so you can make the right decision without worrying about additional costs.
Once you give the go-ahead, we’ll install the best, most reliable equipment from Navien, Weil McLean, and Bradford White. We’ll work with Columbia Gas of Massachusetts to make sure you have a reliable connection to their gas distribution system.
While you’re at it you might want to consider swapping out more of your appliances, such as stoves, grills, washers and dryers, to natural gas. J. Griffin can help you make the switchover for those as well.
Our team has thirty years of experience and is certified by the Utility Workers Union of America, OSHA, and (for Navien products in particular) we are Navien Service Specialists. We have also been awarded “Best of Home Advisor” for both 2018 and 2019. All of that means we’ll do the job right.
We’ll set up a neat, clean boiler area that will be easy for you to monitor and maintain. We’ll show you what you need to do to keep your new gas heating system running smoothly, or if you like we can schedule regular maintenance appointments.
Converting from oil heating to gas for your home is a big step, but the savings on fuel costs and the benefits for the environment make it all worthwhile for many families.
