No more panicking when your oil tank runs low on the coldest day of winter. No more scheduling deliveries or dealing with price spikes that hit $6.33 per gallon last year in Newton.
You’ll have consistent, reliable heat that costs significantly less to run. Your monthly energy bills become predictable instead of shocking. The system maintains itself with minimal fuss.
Most Newton homeowners who make the switch recover their conversion investment within five years through energy savings alone. After that, it’s pure savings every month.
We’ve been serving Newton homeowners since 2007. We understand the frustration of oil heating in a town where 679 homes still depend on deliveries while 83% of neighbors enjoy natural gas convenience.
We’ve watched Newton’s oil-heated homes drop by nearly 20% in recent years as smart homeowners made the switch. Our transparent pricing means no surprise charges during your conversion project.
Every oil to gas conversion comes with our 1-year labor warranty because we stand behind our work. We’re the local team that answers the phone at 2 AM when your heating system needs attention.
First, we assess your current oil system and verify natural gas availability to your Newton property. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with National Grid for gas line connections.
Next, we remove your old oil equipment and install the new gas furnace or boiler. This includes running new gas lines, updating venting systems, and ensuring proper electrical connections. Most conversions take 1-2 days.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and show you how your new system works. We arrange for oil tank removal if needed and help you understand your new heating controls. You start saving immediately.

Your oil to gas conversion includes complete system removal and installation, all necessary permits, and gas line connections. We coordinate with local utilities to ensure seamless service activation.
Newton’s older homes often require chimney liner updates for gas systems. We handle this along with any electrical modifications needed for your new equipment. Everything meets current Massachusetts codes.
Since Mass Save ended fossil fuel rebates in 2024, we focus on maximizing your long-term savings through proper system sizing and high-efficiency equipment selection. Most Newton conversions range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on your home’s specific requirements.
Natural gas typically costs 40-60% less than heating oil in Massachusetts. With Newton oil prices hitting $6.33 per gallon recently, most homeowners save $1,000-2,000 annually after converting.
A typical Newton home using 800-1,000 gallons of oil per year spends $3,000-4,000 on heating. The same home with natural gas usually pays $1,200-1,800 for equivalent heating. Your exact savings depend on your home’s size and insulation quality.
Most homeowners recover their conversion investment within 5-7 years through energy savings alone. After that, you’re saving money every month while enjoying more reliable heat.
Newton has excellent natural gas infrastructure with 83% of homes already connected to gas service. National Grid serves the area with reliable distribution lines throughout most neighborhoods.
We verify gas availability to your specific property during our initial assessment. In rare cases where gas lines aren’t immediately accessible, we coordinate with National Grid for line extensions, though this adds to project costs.
The good news is that Newton’s established gas infrastructure means most oil-to-gas conversions are straightforward. We’ve completed dozens of these projects throughout the city without major access issues.
Oil tank removal requires licensed environmental contractors in Massachusetts. We coordinate this process but don’t handle tank removal ourselves due to environmental regulations.
Above-ground tanks are simpler to remove and typically cost $500-800. Underground tanks require soil testing and proper disposal, usually costing $1,500-3,000 depending on tank condition and location.
You can keep your oil tank temporarily if needed, but most Newton homeowners prefer complete removal to reclaim space and eliminate any environmental concerns. We provide referrals to licensed tank removal contractors we trust.
Most residential oil to gas conversions take 1-2 days for the actual equipment installation. However, the complete process from start to finish typically takes 2-3 weeks due to permitting and utility coordination.
We handle permit applications with Newton’s building department, which usually takes 3-5 business days. Gas service activation through National Grid requires scheduling and can add another week to the timeline.
During installation, your home will be without heat for 4-8 hours maximum. We schedule work during milder weather when possible and can provide temporary heating if needed during extreme cold periods.
Mass Save ended rebates for fossil fuel heating equipment in 2024, including oil-to-gas conversions. However, you may still qualify for federal tax credits if you install high-efficiency gas equipment.
Some utility companies offer modest incentives for gas conversions, typically $200-500. We help identify any available programs during your consultation, though these change frequently.
The real savings come from lower operating costs rather than upfront rebates. Even without rebates, most Newton homeowners save enough on monthly bills to justify the conversion investment within five years.
Gas system sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, and heating distribution method. Most Newton homes need 80,000-120,000 BTU systems, but older homes may require larger units.
We perform detailed heat load calculations during our assessment rather than simply matching your old oil system’s size. Gas systems often need different sizing than oil systems due to efficiency differences.
Proper sizing is crucial for efficiency and comfort. Oversized systems waste energy and cycle on and off too frequently. Undersized systems struggle to heat your home adequately during Newton’s coldest winter days.
