Your heating bills drop immediately. No more waiting for oil deliveries or worrying about running out of fuel mid-winter. No more price spikes that double your heating costs overnight.
You get consistent, reliable heat that responds faster and heats more evenly than your old oil system. Your home value increases because buyers want modern, efficient heating systems.
Most importantly, you stop throwing money away on expensive oil and start enjoying the predictable, lower costs of natural gas heating.
We’ve been serving Norwood homeowners since 2007. We’ve converted hundreds of oil systems to natural gas, and we know exactly what works in these older New England homes.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper permits, quality materials, and installation that passes inspection the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no coming back to fix problems.
Our pricing is upfront and transparent because we know you’ve probably been burned by contractors before. We include everything in our quote so you know exactly what you’re paying.
First, we assess your current system and check if natural gas is available on your street. Most of Norwood has access, but we verify before moving forward.
Next, we handle all permits and coordinate with National Grid for the gas meter installation. We run the gas line from the meter to your heating equipment location, following all Massachusetts plumbing codes.
Then we remove your old oil system, install your new gas equipment, and test everything thoroughly. We handle the final inspections and make sure your new system is running efficiently before we leave.

Your conversion includes all permits, gas line installation, equipment removal, and new system setup. We coordinate with National Grid for meter installation and handle all inspections.
Norwood’s older homes often need additional work like upgrading electrical or adjusting venting systems. We identify these needs upfront so there are no surprise costs later.
You get a 1-year warranty on all our labor, plus manufacturer warranties on equipment. We also provide 24/7 emergency service because heating problems don’t wait for business hours.
Most conversions in Norwood run between $3,500 and $8,000, depending on your home’s setup and equipment choices. The biggest factors are how far your heating system is from where the gas meter gets installed and whether you need any electrical upgrades.
We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation. Many homeowners recover their investment in 2-3 years through lower heating bills, especially with oil prices staying high.
The exact cost depends on your home’s layout, current equipment condition, and local permit requirements. We’ll give you a detailed breakdown so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
The actual installation typically takes 1-2 days once we have all permits and the gas meter is installed. However, the entire process from start to finish usually takes 2-4 weeks due to permitting and utility coordination.
National Grid needs to install your gas meter, which they typically schedule within 1-2 weeks of our permit approval. We coordinate all of this for you so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors and utilities.
We always plan conversions during warmer months when possible, but we can handle emergency conversions during heating season if your oil system fails.
Many Norwood homes built before 1980 need some electrical work, usually adding a dedicated 120V outlet near the new equipment. This is required by code for the gas valve and ignition system.
Older homes sometimes need electrical panel upgrades if the current panel can’t handle the additional load safely. We identify these requirements during our initial assessment so there are no surprises.
Most electrical upgrades are minor and add $200-500 to the project cost. We work with licensed electricians and coordinate all the work so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors.
We disconnect and cap your oil tank, but removal requires a separate environmental contractor licensed for tank removal in Massachusetts. We can recommend qualified companies who handle this properly.
Indoor tanks can often stay in place if properly cleaned and abandoned according to state regulations. Outdoor underground tanks typically need full removal to avoid future environmental issues.
Tank removal costs vary widely based on size, location, and soil conditions, typically ranging from $1,500-4,000. We help coordinate this work but it’s separate from the gas conversion project.
Yes, Norwood requires plumbing permits for all gas line installations, and you’ll need electrical permits if we’re adding outlets or upgrading panels. We handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections.
The permit process typically takes 3-5 business days in Norwood. We submit all applications and coordinate with town inspectors so you don’t have to take time off work for multiple inspection appointments.
All work must pass final inspection before National Grid will turn on your gas service. We make sure everything passes inspection the first time because we know the local codes and inspector requirements.
Most of Norwood has natural gas service, but some streets on the outskirts of town don’t have gas lines yet. We check availability as our first step and can usually tell you over the phone.
If gas isn’t available on your street, National Grid sometimes extends service if enough neighbors are interested in converting. We can help coordinate with your neighbors to request service extension.
Some areas of Norwood have gas lines on the main road but not extended to individual properties yet. In these cases, you might need to pay for line extension, which National Grid can quote for you.
