Your heating bills drop. You stop scheduling oil deliveries. Your home warms up faster and more evenly than before.
Natural gas is generally less expensive than oil, which can lead to significant savings on your heating bills over time. You’ll never worry about running out of fuel during a cold snap again. With natural gas, you no longer need to schedule oil deliveries or worry about running out of fuel during cold weather.
The environmental benefits matter too. Natural gas burns cleaner than oil, producing fewer emissions and contributing to a smaller carbon footprint. Plus, converting increases your home’s value since gas heating is a desirable feature for most buyers.
Emma Plumbing has served Middleborough since 2007. We started in new construction but shifted our focus to service and repairs because that’s where homeowners need us most.
We know Middleborough’s unique challenges. The seasonal climate of Middleborough, with its cold winters and hot summers, affects the plumbing as well. Freezing temperatures cause pipes to burst, while these temperature fluctuations can bring on the expansion and contraction of pipes. Our team understands how to properly install gas lines and heating systems that handle our local weather conditions.
You’ll get upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises, no hidden fees. We back our conversion work with a 1-year labor warranty because we stand behind what we do.
First, we assess your current heating system and home to determine the best approach for your conversion. We’ll check if natural gas is available on your street and what permits we’ll need.
Next comes the installation. We install a new, high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler, along with the necessary gas lines and connections. Our licensed team handles all the gas line work, equipment installation, and connections to ensure everything meets local codes.
Once the installation is complete, we thoroughly test the system and perform safety checks to ensure that everything is working properly. Finally, we safely remove and dispose of your old oil tank and any associated equipment. You’re left with a clean, efficient heating system ready for years of reliable service.
