Your heating bills drop by hundreds every winter. No more midnight panic about empty oil tanks or surprise deliveries that never show up when you need them most.
You get reliable heat that flows through underground pipes straight to your home. Modern gas systems run at 95% efficiency compared to your old oil system’s 60-70%. That efficiency gap adds up to real money staying in your pocket.
The basement space where your oil tank used to sit becomes usable again. No more oil smell, no more soot, and definitely no more worrying about leaks damaging your foundation or groundwater.
We’ve been serving Malden homeowners since 2007. We’re the plumbing company that shows up when we say we will, charges what we quote, and stands behind our work with real warranties.
Malden’s older homes present unique challenges during oil to gas conversions. We know which neighborhoods have gas lines already run, which permits the city requires, and how to navigate the Mass Save rebate process so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
Our transparent pricing means no surprises on your final bill. We give you the real cost upfront, explain exactly what we’re doing, and warranty our labor for a full year because we want you comfortable with your decision.
First, we assess your current system and confirm gas availability on your street. Most Malden neighborhoods have gas lines, but we verify before moving forward. We also check if your home needs any electrical updates for the new equipment.
Next, we coordinate with National Grid to install your gas service line while we handle permits and schedule the old oil tank removal. We work with licensed tank removal specialists who properly dispose of your old equipment according to Massachusetts environmental regulations.
Then we install your new high-efficiency gas system, connect it to the gas line, and test everything thoroughly. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days once we start, and we handle the final inspection with the city. You’re warm the entire time because we don’t disconnect your old system until the new one is ready to go.

Your conversion includes removal and proper disposal of your old oil tank and furnace, installation of new gas equipment sized correctly for your home, and coordination with National Grid for gas line connection. We handle all permits and inspections required by Malden’s building department.
Massachusetts residents get significant financial help through Mass Save programs. We help you apply for rebates up to $1,600 and 0% interest financing for up to seven years. Many Malden homeowners qualify for additional utility rebates that can total over $3,000.
The new gas system we install typically achieves 95% efficiency ratings, compared to oil systems that often run at 60-70% efficiency. This efficiency difference, combined with natural gas costing roughly half what heating oil costs, means most families save $800-1,200 annually on heating bills.
Most Malden conversions cost between $5,000-8,000 depending on your home’s specific requirements and whether you need a new gas line run from the street. However, Mass Save rebates can reduce this by $1,600-3,000, and many families qualify for 0% financing.
The actual cost depends on factors like the size of your home, type of new equipment you choose, and whether your electrical system needs updates. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners recover their investment through lower heating bills within 5-6 years.
The actual installation work takes 2-3 days once we begin, but the entire process from start to finish typically runs 4-6 weeks. Most of this time involves waiting for permits, gas line installation from National Grid, and scheduling the oil tank removal company.
We start by getting your gas service application submitted to National Grid, which can take 2-3 weeks to process. While waiting, we handle permits and order your new equipment. The oil tank removal happens on the same day we install your new system, so you’re never without heat during the transition.
Yes, most Malden families save $800-1,200 per year on heating costs after converting. Natural gas typically costs about half what heating oil costs per BTU of heat produced, and modern gas systems run much more efficiently than older oil systems.
Beyond the fuel savings, you eliminate oil delivery fees, reduce maintenance costs since gas burns cleaner, and never have to worry about price spikes during cold snaps. The average Massachusetts household using oil spends roughly twice what natural gas customers spend each winter according to energy administration data.
Many Malden homes already have gas service for kitchen stoves or other appliances, but the existing line may need to be upgraded to handle heating equipment. If you don’t have any gas service, National Grid will install a new line from the street to your home.
The gas company often covers the cost of running the service line if there’s a gas main near your property. We coordinate this entire process for you, including the application, permits, and scheduling. You don’t have to deal with multiple companies or figure out the process yourself.
Natural gas eliminates several safety risks that come with oil systems. You no longer have toxic heating oil stored in your basement that can leak and contaminate soil or groundwater. There’s no risk of oil spills during deliveries or tank failures.
Modern gas systems include multiple safety features like automatic shut-off valves and leak detection systems. Gas is lighter than air, so any leaks dissipate upward rather than pooling like oil. Professional installation ensures all connections meet current safety codes and are properly tested before the system goes online.
Massachusetts residents can receive rebates up to $1,600 through Mass Save programs, plus additional utility company rebates that often total $1,000-1,500 more. Some older heating systems qualify for rebates up to $4,000 if they’re over 30 years old.
Mass Save also offers 0% interest financing for up to seven years, making the conversion affordable even without upfront cash. Federal tax credits may apply for high-efficiency equipment. We handle all the rebate paperwork and applications so you don’t miss any money you’re entitled to receive.
