Switching From Oil to Gas

Even if your oil furnace still works, it’s worth your while to consider making the switch to gas. In comparison to oil furnaces, gas furnaces are:

• Cost effective
• Energy efficient
• Cleaner burning 

When you make the change from oil to gas you can look forward to cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and no more need for yearly furnace cleanings!

Reduce Costs by Converting Oil Furnace to Gas

Simply put, oil is a more expensive fuel than natural gas. Even if every other variable were the same, it costs more to purchase and use oil than it does to purchase and use natural gas.

In the past, oil was a more plentiful and cheaper resource. Today, however, natural gas has surpassed it as the standard home heating fuel. If you’re looking to lower your heating costs long-term, gas is the way to go!

Convert Oil Furnace to Gas for Better Energy Efficiency

Another element of the cost equation can be found in the energy efficiency of gas versus oil. On average, it costs about one dollar less to produce the same amount of energy with a gas furnace than it does with an oil furnace. When you switch to gas heat, you will most likely see savings in your heating costs to the tune of several hundred dollars per year!

It’s worth mentioning that it may take some time for these cost savings to manifest. There are setup costs involved in oil to gas furnace conversions. However, when you take into consideration the long-term cost benefit, the lifetime savings still trump the initial investment cost by far. 

Converting Oil Heat to Gas for a Cleaner Burn

If you want to be sure you’re making environmentally responsible decisions, switching from oil to gas is a must. 

While both oil and natural gas are fossil fuels, gas gives off fewer harmful byproducts. When burned, oil emits carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, all of which contribute to poor air quality and harmful pollution. Natural gas, by comparison, produces just carbon monoxide (at a lower rate than oil) and water vapor.

Oil to Natural Gas Conversion: What’s Involved?

The process of switching from an oil-burning furnace to a gas-burning furnace is different for every client. When you call JPI Plumbing & Heating, Inc. about a conversion project, we’ll walk you through the different steps for your property to make sure you know what’s involved. We perform these consultations as a free service because we believe our customers should all have the opportunity to make a fully informed decision about their heating systems.

An assessment of your conversion process will include:

• Evaluating your gas line (i.e., do you need one installed or do you need a larger one to accommodate gas heat?)
• Assessing any existing chimney to ensure proper ventilation of carbon monoxide
• Determining what size and model of furnace will best suit your home

Once all of the external elements are seen we will remove your old unit, dispose of it, and install your new one. You’ll be able to enjoy cheaper, more environmentally friendly heat from there on out.
