We start with a thorough assessment of your current oil system and property layout. This isn’t a quick glance—we’re mapping out exactly what needs to change and what can stay. You’ll get a clear breakdown of the work and timeline before anything begins.
Next comes the actual conversion work. We handle all the permits and inspections required in Norfolk County, coordinate with your gas utility company for the connection, and safely remove your old oil equipment. The new gas system gets installed with precision, tested thoroughly, and optimized for your home’s specific needs.
After installation, we walk you through your new system and provide ongoing support. Most conversions take 2-3 days from start to finish, and we clean up completely when we’re done. You’ll have reliable heat and lower bills for years to come.

Your oil to gas conversion includes permit handling, old equipment removal, new gas line installation, and connection coordination with your utility company. We also handle the required inspections and testing to ensure everything meets Norfolk County codes.
In Braintree’s competitive housing market, where median home values exceed $650,000, a professional gas conversion adds measurable value to your property. Local buyers specifically look for homes with natural gas heating because they understand the long-term cost benefits.
We also provide system optimization specific to New England’s harsh winters. Braintree sees freezing temperatures and heavy snow, so your new gas system gets configured to handle whatever weather comes your way. The result is consistent heat and lower bills, even during the coldest months.
Most Braintree homeowners save between $800 and $1,200 annually after converting from oil to natural gas. The exact savings depend on your home’s size and heating needs, but the math is straightforward.
Oil currently costs around $3.80 per gallon in Massachusetts, and prices fluctuate significantly throughout the heating season. Natural gas pricing remains much more stable and typically costs about 60% less than oil for the same amount of heat. Over a typical New England winter, that difference adds up quickly.
The investment in conversion typically pays for itself within 2-3 years through energy savings alone. After that, you’re saving money every single month while enjoying more reliable heat and eliminating the hassle of oil deliveries.
The conversion process starts with a detailed assessment of your current oil heating system and your home’s layout. We determine the best route for the new gas line, identify what equipment needs to be replaced, and handle all the permit applications required by Norfolk County.
The physical work involves safely removing your old oil tank and oil-fired equipment, then installing a new high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler. We coordinate with your local gas utility to establish the gas line connection to your home and install the necessary gas piping inside your property.
Finally, we conduct thorough testing to ensure everything operates safely and efficiently. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days for most homes, and we handle all inspections and final approvals. You’ll have reliable gas heat without any of the regulatory headaches.
Natural gas heating actually performs better than oil during extreme cold weather. Gas systems provide more consistent heat output and don’t face the supply interruptions that can happen with oil deliveries during severe weather events.
In Braintree, where winter temperatures regularly drop well below freezing, gas heating systems maintain steady performance without the efficiency losses that oil systems sometimes experience in extreme cold. The gas supply comes through underground pipelines, so snow, ice, and delivery truck access never become issues.
Modern gas heating equipment also reaches operating temperature faster than oil systems, which means your home warms up more quickly after temperature setbacks. This is particularly valuable during Braintree’s unpredictable winter weather when temperatures can swing dramatically from day to day.
Most homes in Braintree can be converted to natural gas, but the feasibility depends on gas line availability in your specific area and your home’s current heating system configuration. We start every project with a thorough assessment to determine exactly what’s possible.
The key factors include proximity to existing gas mains, the condition of your current heating distribution system (ductwork or radiators), and space requirements for new gas equipment. In many cases, your existing ductwork or radiator system can be connected to a new gas furnace or boiler without major modifications.
We handle all the coordination with your local gas utility company to determine availability and connection requirements. If gas service isn’t currently available to your property, we can also discuss the process for requesting service extension, which is often worthwhile given the long-term savings.
Oil to gas conversions in Braintree require several permits and inspections to ensure safety and code compliance. You’ll need a gas permit from the town, an electrical permit if any electrical work is involved, and potentially a plumbing permit depending on the scope of work.
The process also requires inspections at different stages—before gas line installation, after equipment installation, and a final inspection before the system can be activated. Norfolk County has specific requirements for gas line sizing, equipment placement, and ventilation that must be met.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate with local inspectors throughout the process. Our familiarity with Braintree’s requirements means we know exactly what inspectors are looking for, which helps avoid delays and ensures your conversion passes all inspections on the first try.
Now is actually an ideal time to convert from oil to gas, even though Massachusetts discontinued Mass Save rebates for fossil fuel equipment in 2024. The long-term savings from gas conversion far outweigh the upfront costs, and waiting typically means paying more in oil costs every month you delay.
Oil prices tend to be volatile and generally trend upward over time, while natural gas pricing remains more stable. Every heating season you wait means hundreds of dollars in additional oil costs that could have been avoided. The payback period for conversion is typically 2-3 years regardless of rebate availability.
Additionally, converting now positions your home advantageously in Braintree’s competitive real estate market. Buyers specifically look for properties with natural gas heating because they understand the ongoing cost benefits. The investment in conversion pays dividends both in monthly savings and eventual resale value.
