You’re tired of watching your heating bills climb every winter while your oil tank takes up valuable basement space. After your oil to gas conversion, you’ll cut your heating costs nearly in half—most Medford homeowners save between $800 and $1000 annually.
Your new gas system runs cleaner and more efficiently, with modern equipment reaching up to 98% efficiency compared to older oil systems that max out around 80-85%. No more scheduling oil deliveries or worrying about running out of fuel during a storm.
You’ll reclaim that basement space where your oil tank used to sit, and you won’t deal with the maintenance headaches that come with aging oil equipment. The conversion typically pays for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings alone.
We’ve been serving Medford and surrounding Massachusetts communities since 2007. We’ve helped hundreds of local homeowners make the switch from oil to gas heating, understanding exactly what Medford residents face during our harsh New England winters.
We know the local building codes, work with the right gas utility connections, and handle every detail of your conversion project. Our transparent pricing means no surprise costs, and our 1-year labor warranty gives you confidence in the work.
What sets us apart is our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We coordinate with gas utilities, handle permits, and ensure your new system passes all inspections without delays.
Your oil to gas conversion starts with a thorough assessment of your current heating system and home layout. We’ll evaluate your existing ductwork, determine the best location for your new gas equipment, and calculate the gas line routing from your meter.
Next, we coordinate with your local gas utility to schedule the gas line installation to your home if one isn’t already available. We handle all permit applications and scheduling with local inspectors so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy.
During installation, we remove your old oil equipment, install your new high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler, and connect all necessary gas lines and venting. We test everything thoroughly and walk you through operating your new system before we consider the job complete. Your old oil tank removal can be coordinated separately with licensed tank removal specialists.

Your oil to gas conversion includes everything needed for a successful transition to natural gas heating. We install high-efficiency gas furnaces or boilers with AFUE ratings up to 98%, ensuring you get maximum energy savings from day one.
The service covers all gas line connections, proper venting installation, and integration with your existing ductwork or radiator system. We coordinate with National Grid or your local gas utility for meter installation and service line connections when needed.
Medford homeowners benefit from Massachusetts rebate programs that can reduce your conversion costs by up to $1,600, plus federal tax credits of 30% for high-efficiency equipment. We help you navigate these incentive programs to maximize your savings. With natural gas prices in Medford running about 11% below the national average, you’re positioned to see significant long-term savings compared to heating oil costs.
Most Medford homeowners save between $800 and $1,000 per year after converting from oil to gas heating. The exact savings depend on your home size and heating usage, but the math is straightforward—oil users typically spend around $1,700 per winter while gas users spend about $900 for the same heating.
With natural gas prices in Medford running about 11% below the national average, local homeowners see even better savings than the state average. Your new high-efficiency gas equipment will also run more efficiently than older oil systems, adding to your annual savings.
The conversion typically pays for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings alone. If you plan to stay in your home for at least 7-10 years, the financial benefits make conversion a smart investment.
Massachusetts offers several financial incentives that significantly reduce your conversion costs. Through Mass Save, you can receive rebates up to $1,600 for high-efficiency gas equipment, plus interest-free financing for up to 7 years.
The federal government provides tax credits equal to 30% of the equipment cost for Energy Star certified systems. Many gas utilities also offer additional rebates, and some will install the gas service line to your home for free if there’s an existing gas main nearby.
We help you navigate all available incentive programs and handle the rebate paperwork to ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to. These programs can reduce your upfront costs by thousands of dollars, making the conversion much more affordable.
A typical oil to gas conversion takes 1-3 days for the actual equipment installation, but the entire process from start to finish usually spans 2-4 weeks due to permitting and utility coordination.
The timeline depends on whether gas service already exists at your home. If you need a new gas line from the street, that adds time for utility scheduling and installation. We coordinate all these moving parts so you’re not left without heat during the transition.
We schedule the work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and ensure you have backup heating options if needed during the changeover. Most installations are completed before the heating season begins, so you can start enjoying savings immediately.
In most cases, your existing ductwork will work perfectly with a new gas furnace, though we always perform a thorough evaluation during our initial assessment. Modern gas furnaces are designed to work with standard residential ductwork configurations.
Sometimes minor adjustments or improvements to ductwork help optimize efficiency and airflow, especially if your current ducts are older or undersized. We’ll identify any necessary modifications upfront so there are no surprises during installation.
If you currently have a hot water or steam radiator system with an oil boiler, we can install a gas boiler that works with your existing radiators and piping. This often makes the conversion simpler and less expensive than switching to forced air.
Your underground or basement oil tank must be properly removed and disposed of according to Massachusetts environmental regulations. We coordinate with licensed tank removal specialists to handle this part of the process safely and legally.
Tank removal typically happens after your new gas system is installed and running, so you’re never without heat. The removal process includes draining any remaining oil, cleaning the tank, and disposing of it at approved facilities.
If you have an underground tank, soil testing may be required to ensure no contamination occurred. We work with experienced tank removal contractors who understand all local requirements and can handle any environmental remediation if needed.
Natural gas heating is generally considered safer than oil heating because gas is delivered through underground pipelines rather than stored in tanks on your property. You eliminate risks associated with oil storage, including potential leaks, spills, and tank corrosion.
Modern gas equipment includes multiple safety features like automatic shut-off valves, flame sensors, and leak detection systems. Gas utilities also add a distinctive odor to natural gas so any leaks are immediately detectable.
Professional installation and regular maintenance ensure your gas system operates safely for decades. We install all equipment according to strict safety codes and provide you with important safety information about operating your new gas heating system.
