Your heating bills drop immediately. No more scheduling oil deliveries or watching the gauge drop during cold snaps. Your home heats evenly, quietly, and efficiently.
You’ll have instant hot water, cleaner air, and a heating system that actually increases your home’s value. Most Framingham homeowners see their investment pay for itself within 3-5 years through energy savings alone.
The peace of mind is immediate too. No more worrying about oil spills, tank leaks, or running out of fuel during a storm.
We’ve been handling complex plumbing projects in Framingham since 2007. We’ve converted oil systems throughout MetroWest, from Victorian homes on Union Avenue to newer construction in Nobscot.
We know Framingham’s housing stock. Most homes here were built when oil was the standard, which means we understand the unique challenges of retrofitting gas lines in older construction.
Our approach is simple: transparent pricing, quality work, and a one-year warranty on everything we install. No surprises, no hidden fees, no cutting corners.
First, we assess your current system and plan the gas line route from the street to your home. We handle all permits and utility coordination – you don’t deal with any of that paperwork.
Next, we install the new gas line, connect your heating system, and remove the old oil components. The actual conversion typically takes 1-2 days for most Framingham homes.
Finally, we test everything, walk you through the new system, and arrange for your oil tank removal if needed. You’re heating with gas the same week we start the project.

You get the full conversion: gas line installation from the street, system hookup, safety testing, and permit handling. We coordinate with National Grid to ensure your gas service is ready when we need it.
Framingham homes often need additional work like chimney modifications or vent adjustments. We handle those details so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
Most conversions also qualify for utility rebates. We’ll help you navigate those applications to reduce your total project cost. The combination of rebates and immediate savings makes the switch financially smart for almost every Framingham homeowner.
Most Framingham conversions range from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on the distance from the street and complexity of your home’s layout. Victorian homes with multiple floors typically cost more than ranch-style homes.
The biggest variable is gas line length. If your meter needs to be 100+ feet from the street, expect higher costs. We provide exact pricing after measuring your specific situation.
Factor in utility rebates (often $500-1,500) and immediate monthly savings ($100-300 per month during heating season). Most homeowners break even within 3-4 years, then save money every month after that.
The actual work takes 1-2 days for most homes. However, the full timeline is typically 2-3 weeks from start to finish due to permit processing and utility coordination.
We schedule the gas service connection with National Grid, pull necessary permits, and coordinate all inspections. You don’t have to manage any of that – we handle the logistics.
The key is starting early in the season. Fall conversions are easier to schedule than emergency winter jobs. If you’re thinking about converting, October through December is usually the best window.
You can keep the tank temporarily, but removal within 6-12 months makes sense for most homeowners. Empty tanks can develop condensation issues, and you’ll want that basement or yard space back.
Tank removal costs $800-2,000 depending on size and location. Underground tanks cost more to remove than basement tanks. We work with licensed tank removal specialists who handle all environmental requirements.
Some homeowners convert the tank space into storage or workshop areas. Others use the yard space for landscaping projects. Either way, removal eliminates long-term liability concerns.
Yes, significantly. Framingham real estate agents consistently report that homes with natural gas heat sell faster and for higher prices than comparable oil-heated homes.
Buyers prefer gas because of lower operating costs and convenience. Many won’t even consider homes with oil heat, especially younger buyers who’ve never dealt with oil deliveries.
The typical value increase is $3,000-8,000, which often covers most or all of your conversion cost. Plus you benefit from lower heating bills while you live in the home.
You need a gas permit from the Framingham Building Department and coordination with National Grid for the meter installation. We handle both as part of our service.
The permit process typically takes 5-10 business days. We submit all paperwork, schedule inspections, and ensure everything meets Massachusetts gas codes.
Some homes also need electrical permits if we’re installing new gas appliances that require electrical connections. We identify those requirements during our initial assessment and handle the additional permits if needed.
You can convert just the heating system initially, but most homeowners eventually convert water heating and other appliances too. The gas line installation cost is the same whether you convert one appliance or several.
Converting everything at once is usually more cost-effective. You pay for gas line installation once, and running gas to multiple appliances during the same project saves money.
However, if budget is a concern, heating system conversion provides the biggest immediate savings. You can always add gas water heating or cooking appliances later using the same gas line.
