The Top Benefits of Converting From Oil to Gas
Homeowners across New Jersey are switching from oil to natural gas, thanks to the many advantages of this conversion. With a new gas furnace, you’ll experience:
- Cost savings: An oil-to-gas conversion is an investment. However, with natural gas being more cost-effective than oil, your lower monthly heating bills will offset this initial cost.
- Energy efficiency: Modern gas furnaces offer higher efficiency ratings compared to oil. With a potential for up to 20% increased efficiency, you can significantly reduce your energy consumption.
- Reduced environmental impact: Homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint may want to consider an oil-to-gas conversion, as natural gas burns cleaner than oil and produces fewer emissions.
- Convenience and reliability: Gas furnaces eliminate the need for oil deliveries and provide a continuous supply of fuel through a natural gas pipeline. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel on the coldest day of the year.
What To Expect: The Oil-to-Gas Conversion Process
Converting your Northern New Jersey home’s oil furnace to a gas furnace involves several steps to ensure feasibility and provide superior results:
Assessment & Planning
At Russo Bros. & Co., our licensed contractors can evaluate whether your home is eligible for a conversion based on the availability of natural gas lines in your area. We’ll then handle any necessary permits and help you choose the best gas furnace for your needs.
Removal of Oil Equipment
Our experts will temporarily remove your oil furnace and all components, including the oil tank, whether it’s above ground or underground. Because leaking tanks are an environmental hazard, this process requires a certificate removal service from our team.
Installation of Gas Lines & Equipment
If your home doesn’t have a gas line, your utility provider will need to install one along with a gas meter. After confirming that you have the proper venting system, our team will install your new, highly efficient gas furnace, connect all gas lines, and integrate the system with your ductwork and thermostat — all while following local codes and safety standards.
System Balancing & Testing
The final steps include balancing your system to ensure even heat distribution and optimal efficiency. Then, we’ll conduct thorough testing to ensure your system operates at peak performance and offers superior safety.
