You’ll never again worry about running out of fuel on the coldest day of winter. No more watching oil prices spike or scheduling deliveries around your busy life.
Your heating bills drop dramatically – most Hingham homeowners save $800 to $1,000 every year after converting to natural gas. That’s real money back in your pocket, month after month.
The toxic fumes and spill risks disappear completely. Your family breathes cleaner air, and you sleep better knowing there’s no oil tank that could leak and contaminate your property.
We’ve served South Shore communities for nearly two decades, building our reputation on honest work and transparent pricing. We’ve watched Hingham grow from 3,157 homes using natural gas to over 4,490 today – and we’ve helped many families make that switch.
Our team understands the unique challenges of older Hingham homes and the local permitting process. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional – you’re investing in proper installation, quality equipment, and warranties that protect your investment.
When you call us, you’re working with plumbers who live and work in your community, not a national chain that disappears after the job.
First, we assess your current heating system and confirm your home can accommodate natural gas service. We coordinate with your local gas company to determine connection feasibility and handle all permit requirements.
Next, we remove your old oil equipment safely and install your new natural gas furnace or boiler. Our licensed plumbers ensure proper gas line installation, test all connections for safety, and balance your heating system for optimal efficiency.
Finally, we arrange the gas company inspection and meter installation. We also coordinate oil tank removal if needed, leaving your property clean and your new system ready for years of reliable service. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days once materials arrive.

Your conversion includes complete removal and disposal of existing oil equipment, professional gas line installation, and new high-efficiency furnace or boiler setup. We handle all permitting, coordinate with National Grid for gas service connection, and ensure your system passes all required inspections.
In Hingham specifically, we’re familiar with the town’s building requirements and work closely with local inspectors to ensure smooth approvals. Many homes in your area built before 1980 require additional considerations we’re experienced with.
You’ll receive our standard 1-year labor warranty plus manufacturer warranties on all equipment. We also provide system operation training and ongoing maintenance recommendations to maximize your investment and energy savings.
Most Hingham homeowners save $800 to $1,000 annually after converting to natural gas, with some saving even more depending on their current oil usage. Natural gas typically costs 40-60% less than heating oil for the same amount of heat.
With current Hingham heating oil prices ranging from $2.95 to $3.59 per gallon, and the average household using 850 to 1,200 gallons per winter, you’re looking at $2,500 to $4,300 in annual oil costs. Natural gas can cut that expense significantly.
The conversion typically pays for itself within 5 years through energy savings alone, making it a smart long-term investment for homeowners planning to stay in their homes.
Massachusetts residents can access rebates up to $1,600 through the Mass Save program, plus interest-free financing for up to 7 years. The federal government also offers tax credits of 30% of the conversion cost for energy-efficient equipment.
Some natural gas providers offer free service line installation if there’s an existing gas main near your property, which can save thousands in connection costs. We help you navigate all available incentives to minimize your upfront investment.
Additional manufacturer rebates may apply depending on the specific equipment chosen. We’ll identify every available discount and handle the paperwork to ensure you receive maximum savings on your conversion project.
The actual installation typically takes 1-2 days once all permits are approved and equipment arrives. However, the complete process from initial assessment to final gas company connection usually spans 2-3 weeks due to permitting and scheduling requirements.
We coordinate with Hingham building officials and National Grid throughout the process to minimize delays. Our local experience helps us anticipate potential issues and keep your project moving smoothly through each phase.
During installation, you’ll have temporary heating arrangements if needed. We never leave you without heat, especially during cold weather months when conversions are most common.
Most Hingham homes can accommodate natural gas conversion, but proximity to existing gas lines and your current heating system configuration are key factors. We start with a comprehensive assessment of your property and heating setup.
Homes built before 1980 may require additional electrical work or ventilation modifications, which we identify during our initial evaluation. We also verify that National Grid can provide service to your specific address before proceeding.
Our assessment includes checking your existing ductwork, electrical capacity, and space requirements for new equipment. We’ll give you a complete picture of what’s involved before you commit to the conversion project.
We coordinate with licensed oil tank removal companies to safely extract and dispose of your old tank according to Massachusetts environmental regulations. This includes proper soil testing if required and remediation if any contamination is discovered.
Above-ground tanks are typically easier and less expensive to remove than underground tanks. We handle all paperwork and ensure compliance with local environmental requirements throughout the removal process.
The tank removal cost is separate from the conversion but we can include it in your overall project financing. Removing the old tank also frees up valuable basement or yard space for other uses.
Natural gas heating is generally preferred by home buyers and can increase your property value, especially in areas like Hingham where oil heating is becoming less common. Modern, efficient heating systems are attractive selling points.
The elimination of oil tank liability is particularly valuable to potential buyers, as it removes concerns about environmental contamination and cleanup costs. This peace of mind factor often influences purchase decisions significantly.
Energy efficiency improvements also qualify for various green home certifications and may reduce homeowners insurance costs. The combination of lower operating costs and reduced environmental risk makes natural gas conversion a smart investment for long-term property value.
