Your heating bills drop dramatically. Most Cambridge homeowners save over $1,300 annually after switching from oil to natural gas.
You stop worrying about running out of fuel in the middle of winter. No more watching tank gauges or scheduling emergency deliveries when temperatures drop.
Your basement gets that space back. Oil tanks disappear, giving you room for storage, a workshop, or just clean, open space you can actually use.
We’ve been serving Cambridge homeowners since 2007. We’ve watched this city’s heating landscape change as more residents discover the benefits of natural gas.
Cambridge’s mix of older homes and forward-thinking residents creates unique conversion challenges. We understand the permitting process, work with local utilities, and know which systems work best in your neighborhood’s housing stock.
Our transparent pricing means no surprises. You get upfront costs, one-year labor warranties, and 24/7 emergency support when you need it most.
We start with a free assessment of your current oil system and home layout. This tells us exactly what equipment you need and any modifications required for gas lines.
Next, we coordinate with your utility company to bring natural gas service to your property if it’s not already available. We handle all permits and inspections to keep the process moving smoothly.
Then we remove your old oil equipment and install your new gas heating system. This includes proper gas line installation, new heating equipment setup, and complete system testing. We also coordinate safe oil tank removal with certified environmental contractors.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system’s operation before the utility company connects your gas meter.

Your conversion includes complete removal of existing oil equipment, professional gas line installation, and new high-efficiency heating system setup. We coordinate oil tank removal and disposal through certified environmental contractors.
Cambridge residents benefit from MassSave rebates that can significantly reduce conversion costs. We help you navigate these programs and qualify for available financing options, including 0% interest loans.
The timing works in your favor too. Cambridge’s established gas infrastructure means most conversions connect quickly to existing street lines. We typically complete residential conversions in 2-3 days, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Conversion costs typically range from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on your home’s size and current setup. This includes new heating equipment, gas line installation, and professional labor.
However, MassSave rebates can reduce this significantly. Many Cambridge homeowners qualify for rebates up to $2,000 plus 0% interest financing for the remaining balance.
Most importantly, you start saving immediately. The average Cambridge household saves $1,300+ annually on heating costs, meaning your investment pays for itself within 2-4 years.
Most Cambridge conversions take 2-3 days once we begin work. The timeline depends on whether your home already has gas service to the street.
If gas service exists, we can usually complete everything in two days. Day one covers equipment removal and gas line installation. Day two handles new system installation and testing.
Homes without existing gas service need utility company coordination first. This adds 1-2 weeks for the gas company to run service from the street to your home, but we schedule this in advance to minimize delays.
Yes, Cambridge requires permits for gas line installation and heating system changes. We handle all permitting as part of our service.
The process includes gas piping permits from the city and coordination with National Grid for meter installation. We also arrange required inspections to ensure everything meets local codes.
This permit process typically takes 3-5 business days. We submit applications early in your project timeline so permits are ready when we start work, avoiding any delays.
We coordinate professional oil tank removal through certified environmental contractors. This includes draining any remaining oil, cleaning the tank, and proper disposal according to Massachusetts regulations.
Underground tanks require soil testing to ensure no contamination occurred. Above-ground tanks are simpler but still need proper environmental disposal procedures.
Tank removal typically costs $300-1,500 for above-ground tanks and $1,000-3,500 for underground tanks. We provide exact costs during your free assessment based on your specific situation.
Cambridge homeowners typically save $1,300-2,000 annually after converting from oil to natural gas. Your exact savings depend on your home’s size and current oil consumption.
Oil heating often costs over $3,000 annually for average Cambridge homes, while natural gas usually runs $700-1,200 for the same heating needs. These savings continue year after year.
Beyond fuel costs, you also save on delivery fees, service calls, and the hassle of monitoring tank levels. Many homeowners find the convenience factor just as valuable as the cost savings.
Both heating fuels are safe when properly installed and maintained. Natural gas systems include multiple safety features like automatic shutoff valves and leak detection systems.
Gas systems eliminate risks associated with oil storage, including potential spills or tank leaks that could contaminate soil. You also avoid handling and storing large quantities of fuel on your property.
Professional installation with proper permits ensures all safety codes are met. We install gas leak detectors and test all connections thoroughly before system activation, giving you complete peace of mind.
