Everett Plumbing Contractors

We've Done This 200+ Times
Emma Plumbing has been serving Everett homeowners since 2007. We’ve converted hundreds of oil heating systems to natural gas throughout the area. You’re not getting a sales pitch from us. We’re the plumbers who actually do the work, and we’ve seen every challenge these older Everett homes can throw at us. Our team knows the local building codes, the permit process, and how to handle the unique plumbing situations in homes built in the 1950s through 1980s that make up much of Everett’s housing stock.

Oil Gas Conversion Process

Here's Exactly What Happens
First, we inspect your current heating system and gas line availability. Most Everett streets have natural gas lines, but we verify capacity and connection points before starting any work. Next, we handle all permits and coordinate with National Grid for gas service activation. We remove your old oil system, install the new gas equipment, and run any necessary gas lines to your furnace or boiler location. Finally, we test everything thoroughly before you pay a dime. The gas company does their final inspection, and you’re heating with clean, efficient natural gas. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days depending on your home’s setup.

Gas Line Installation Everett

What's Included in Your Conversion
Your conversion includes complete removal of the old oil system, new gas line installation from the street connection to your heating equipment, and proper disposal of oil tank contents following Massachusetts environmental regulations. We coordinate with National Grid throughout the process. Everett homeowners typically qualify for utility rebates that can offset $500-1,500 of conversion costs, and we help you navigate that paperwork. You also get our 1-year labor warranty on all installation work. If anything goes wrong with our plumbing or gas line work, we come back and fix it at no charge. Most conversions in Everett pay for themselves within 3-4 heating seasons through fuel savings alone.

How much does oil to gas conversion cost in Everett?

Most Everett homeowners spend $3,500-$8,000 for a complete oil to gas conversion, depending on the distance from the street gas line to your heating equipment and whether you need a new furnace or boiler. The biggest cost variables are gas line length and heating system replacement. If your current oil boiler is in good shape, we can often convert it to gas for significantly less than a full system replacement. National Grid offers rebates up to $1,500 for qualifying conversions, and the monthly savings typically range from $100-200 during heating season. Most of our Everett customers break even within 4 years.
The actual installation work takes 2-3 days in most Everett homes. However, the entire process from start to finish typically takes 2-3 weeks due to permit approvals and utility coordination. We handle all the paperwork with the city and National Grid, but these agencies need time to process permits and schedule their inspections. Weather can also affect timeline if we need to dig for gas line connections. The good news is most of the waiting happens before we start work at your house. Once we begin installation, you’ll have heat back on within 2-3 days maximum.
We pump out all remaining oil and dispose of it properly according to Massachusetts environmental regulations. Underground tanks require excavation and soil testing, while above-ground tanks can usually be removed more easily. Tank removal is often the most complex part of the conversion process. We work with licensed environmental contractors for underground tank removal to ensure everything meets state requirements. The oil tank removal cost is separate from the gas conversion work, typically running $1,500-4,000 depending on tank size and location. Some homeowners choose to abandon underground tanks in place if they meet specific safety criteria.
Not necessarily. Many oil boilers and furnaces can be converted to burn natural gas with the right modifications. We evaluate your existing heating equipment during our initial inspection. If your oil system is less than 15 years old and in good condition, conversion is often possible and much less expensive than full replacement. Older systems or those with efficiency issues usually benefit from complete replacement. New gas heating equipment is more efficient and reliable than converted systems, but the upfront cost is higher. We’ll give you options for both approaches with honest pros and cons for your specific situation.
Most Everett neighborhoods have natural gas service, but we verify availability and capacity before starting any work. National Grid has been expanding service throughout the area for the past decade. If gas isn’t available on your street, you may still have options. National Grid sometimes extends service for multiple conversions in the same area, though this requires coordination with neighbors. We check gas availability as part of our free estimate process. If natural gas isn’t feasible, we can discuss propane conversion as an alternative that still offers many of the same benefits over oil heating.
You’ll need a plumbing permit from the City of Everett for gas line installation and a gas service connection permit from National Grid. We handle both permit applications as part of our service. The city requires licensed plumbers to pull permits for gas work, and all installations must pass inspection before the gas company will activate service. This protects you and ensures everything meets current safety codes. Environmental permits may be required for oil tank removal, especially for underground tanks. We coordinate with environmental contractors who handle this specialized work and permitting process.
