Gas Conversion Process Belmont

Here's Exactly What Happens
First, we assess your current oil system and your home’s gas line situation. Most Belmont neighborhoods already have natural gas available, but we verify everything before we start. Next, we handle the permits and coordinate with National Grid for any gas line connections needed. We remove your old oil equipment and install your new gas furnace or boiler. Everything gets tested thoroughly before we consider the job complete. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days depending on your setup. We clean up completely and dispose of your old equipment properly. You’ll have heat throughout the process – we don’t leave you cold.

Natural Gas Installation Belmont

What's Included in Your Conversion
Your conversion includes removal of the old oil system, installation of new gas equipment, and all necessary connections. We handle permits, inspections, and utility coordination. In Belmont, most homes built before 1970 have oil heat, but natural gas lines run throughout most neighborhoods. We work with National Grid to ensure proper connections and help you apply for any available rebates through Mass Save programs. You also get our standard warranties: one year on all labor and seven days on any drain cleaning work if we need to access drains during installation. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.

How much can I save switching from oil to gas in Belmont?

Most Belmont homeowners save 18-30% on their heating costs after converting to natural gas. The exact savings depend on your current oil usage and the efficiency of your new gas system. For example, if you’re spending $2,400 per year on heating oil, you could save $430-720 annually with natural gas. Modern gas furnaces are 90-98% efficient compared to older oil systems that typically run 60-80% efficient. Factor in Mass Save rebates and utility incentives, and many homeowners see payback on their conversion investment within 3-5 years.
It depends on your home’s current setup. Many Belmont homes already have natural gas service for other appliances like water heaters or stoves, so we can often tap into existing lines. If you don’t have gas service, National Grid handles the connection from the street to your meter. This is typically free if gas is available on your street, which it is throughout most of Belmont. We coordinate all the utility work and handle the permits. You don’t need to deal with multiple contractors or companies – we manage the entire process from start to finish.
Most conversions take 1-2 days to complete. Simple furnace swaps where gas is already available can often be done in one day. More complex installations involving new gas lines or boiler systems may take two days. We schedule the work so you’re never without heat. If we need to shut down your existing system, we time it carefully and have your new system running the same day. Weather doesn’t usually affect the timeline since most of the work happens in your basement. We’ll give you an exact timeline after we assess your specific situation.
Mass Save offers rebates for high-efficiency gas heating equipment. Rebate amounts vary based on the efficiency rating of your new system, but they can be substantial. National Grid and other utilities also offer conversion incentives. Some programs provide rebates up to $1,000 for qualifying installations, and there are additional incentives if you’re replacing a system over 30 years old. We help you navigate the rebate applications and make sure you get every dollar you’re entitled to. The paperwork can be confusing, but we handle most of it for you.
Both fuels are safe when systems are properly installed and maintained. Natural gas has some advantages: it’s lighter than air so it dissipates quickly if there’s a leak, and modern gas appliances have multiple safety shutoffs. Oil systems require tank storage, which eliminates some risks associated with gas lines but creates others around tank leaks and fuel storage. Gas systems don’t require on-site fuel storage. We install all gas systems to current codes with proper ventilation and safety devices. Every installation gets inspected by local authorities to ensure it meets all safety requirements.
Yes, most real estate professionals agree that gas heating adds value compared to oil systems. Buyers prefer gas because of lower operating costs and the convenience of not dealing with oil deliveries. In Belmont’s market, energy-efficient heating systems are particularly attractive to buyers. A modern, high-efficiency gas system shows the home has been well-maintained and updated. The exact value increase varies, but the energy savings alone often justify the conversion cost. Plus you get to enjoy the benefits of lower heating bills while you live in the home.
