Picture this: no more scheduling oil deliveries or watching fuel prices spike. No more soot-covered furnace maintenance or wondering if you’ll run out of heat during a storm.
With natural gas, you get consistent, reliable heat that costs significantly less to operate. Your basement gets valuable space back without that bulky oil tank. Your heating system runs cleaner, quieter, and more efficiently.
Most Avon homeowners see their heating bills drop substantially in the first season. You’ll also increase your home’s value while reducing your environmental impact through cleaner-burning natural gas.
Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been helping Massachusetts families since 2007. We’ve completed hundreds of oil to gas conversions across Plymouth County and know exactly what Avon homeowners need.
Our team handles everything from gas line connections to old equipment removal. We work directly with utility companies and handle all the paperwork, permits, and inspections.
What sets us apart is our upfront pricing and comprehensive warranties. You’ll know exactly what your conversion costs before we start, and we back our work with a full year labor warranty.
First, we assess your current heating system and determine the best gas equipment for your home’s size and layout. We handle all utility coordination to bring natural gas service to your property if needed.
Next, we remove your old oil equipment and properly dispose of your oil tank according to Massachusetts regulations. Our licensed technicians install your new gas furnace or boiler, connecting it to your existing ductwork or radiator system.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system’s operation. We coordinate with National Grid for your gas meter installation and help you apply for any available rebates. Most conversions are completed in 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Your oil to gas conversion includes professional equipment sizing, gas line installation, and complete system setup. We handle utility coordination, permit applications, and all required inspections.
In Avon, many homes built before 1980 still rely on oil heating. These older systems are prime candidates for conversion, especially with Massachusetts natural gas infrastructure readily available throughout the area.
We remove and dispose of your oil tank safely, install high-efficiency gas equipment, and ensure proper venting and safety controls. You’ll also receive detailed operating instructions and information about available utility rebates that can offset conversion costs.
Most Avon homeowners save 20-30% on their annual heating costs after converting from oil to natural gas. With current oil prices averaging over $3.00 per gallon in Massachusetts, natural gas offers significant savings.
The exact savings depend on your home’s size, insulation, and heating habits. A typical 2,000 square foot home might save $800-1,200 per heating season. Many homeowners recover their conversion investment within 3-4 years through lower fuel costs.
Natural gas also eliminates delivery fees, tank rental costs, and the price volatility that comes with oil heating. Your monthly gas bill is predictable and typically much lower than oil expenses.
While Massachusetts discontinued most fossil fuel rebates in 2024, utility companies still offer conversion incentives. National Grid provides rebates for qualifying high-efficiency gas equipment installations.
Some programs offer up to $1,000 for gas heating system upgrades, especially when replacing systems over 20 years old. Low-income households may qualify for additional assistance through state weatherization programs.
We help you navigate all available rebate programs and handle the paperwork. Many utility companies also offer zero-interest financing for qualifying conversions, making the upfront cost more manageable.
Most oil to gas conversions in Avon take 1-2 days once gas service reaches your property. If you don’t have gas service, adding a gas line typically adds 1-2 weeks for utility coordination and installation.
The actual equipment swap happens quickly. We remove your old oil system, install the new gas equipment, and connect everything in one day for most homes. Complex installations or custom ductwork might require an additional day.
We schedule conversions during warmer months when possible to minimize heating disruption. If you need emergency conversion during winter, we can often provide temporary heating solutions while completing the work.
Most Avon homes with oil heating can convert to natural gas. The key requirement is access to natural gas service, which is available throughout most of Avon and surrounding areas.
We evaluate your existing heating distribution system (ductwork or radiators), electrical service, and venting requirements. Most oil boilers and furnaces can be replaced with gas equivalents using the same distribution system.
Homes without gas service need a gas line installation from the street. We coordinate with National Grid to determine feasibility and costs. Even homes on private roads can often get gas service with proper planning.
We handle complete oil tank removal and disposal according to Massachusetts environmental regulations. Underground tanks require special excavation and soil testing, while above-ground tanks are simpler to remove.
Tank removal includes draining any remaining oil, cleaning the tank, and proper disposal at licensed facilities. We coordinate soil testing for underground tanks and handle any required environmental remediation.
The space formerly occupied by your oil tank becomes available for storage or other uses. Many homeowners use this reclaimed basement space for workshops, storage, or recreational areas.
Yes, we obtain all required permits and coordinate inspections for your oil to gas conversion. This includes gas permits from the Town of Avon, electrical permits if needed, and utility inspections.
We work directly with local code enforcement officers and utility inspectors to ensure everything meets Massachusetts and local codes. Our licensed technicians understand all requirements for safe gas installations.
After installation, we schedule the required inspections and coordinate with National Grid for gas meter installation and service activation. You don’t need to worry about any paperwork or regulatory requirements.
