Hear from Our Customers
You wake up on the coldest morning of the year without that familiar pit in your stomach. No more checking the oil gauge. No more scrambling to schedule deliveries or worrying about running out of heat when you need it most.
Your monthly heating bills drop dramatically – most Sharon homeowners save $800 to over $1,000 every year. That’s real money back in your pocket, month after month. Your home heats more evenly and efficiently with modern natural gas equipment that’s 90%+ efficient compared to older oil systems that waste 30-45% of your fuel.
The convenience alone changes everything. Natural gas flows directly to your home through underground pipes. You’ll never deal with oil deliveries, tank maintenance, or the stress of monitoring fuel levels again.
Since 2007, we’ve been helping Massachusetts homeowners transition from costly oil heating to efficient natural gas systems. We understand Sharon’s unique housing stock – from the historic homes near the town center to newer developments – and the specific challenges each presents for heating conversions.
Our licensed gas technicians handle every aspect of your conversion project. We coordinate with National Grid for gas line connections, manage all permits and inspections, and ensure your new system meets Massachusetts safety codes. You get upfront pricing with no surprises, plus our 1-year labor warranty for complete peace of mind.
We’ve seen firsthand how oil to gas conversions transform our neighbors’ lives. Lower bills, better comfort, and the reliability that comes with never running out of fuel during a New England winter.
First, we assess your current heating system and home layout to design the most efficient gas conversion plan. We handle all coordination with your gas utility company to install or upgrade your service line – often at no cost to you if gas is available on your street.
Next, we remove your old oil equipment and install your new high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler. Our certified technicians ensure proper sizing, venting, and connections while maintaining your home’s heating zones and distribution system. We also coordinate professional oil tank removal if needed.
Finally, we test your entire system, balance the heat distribution, and walk you through your new equipment’s operation. Your gas utility performs the final connection and meter installation. Most conversions are completed in 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Your oil to gas conversion includes professional removal of existing oil equipment, installation of properly sized natural gas heating equipment, and all necessary venting and gas line connections. We handle permit applications, coordinate utility connections, and ensure your system passes all required inspections.
Sharon homeowners benefit from Massachusetts’ generous Mass Save rebates – up to $1,600 in direct rebates plus 0% interest financing for up to 7 years. We help you navigate these programs to maximize your savings. Many of our Sharon clients qualify for additional utility rebates that can reduce your total conversion cost by thousands.
Your new system comes with manufacturer warranties on equipment plus our 1-year labor warranty. We also provide ongoing maintenance services to keep your investment running efficiently. Since natural gas systems require less maintenance than oil equipment, you’ll save on annual service costs too.
Most Sharon homeowners save between $800-$1,200 annually after converting from oil to natural gas, though your exact savings depend on your home size and heating habits. With current oil prices around $3.80 per gallon and the average Massachusetts home using 850-1,200 gallons per winter, you’re likely spending $3,200-$4,500 on heating oil annually.
Natural gas typically costs 40-60% less than oil for the same amount of heat. Plus, modern gas equipment is 90%+ efficient compared to older oil systems that often run at only 60-70% efficiency. This means you’re getting more heat from every dollar spent.
The payback period for most conversions is 2-5 years. After that, your annual savings go straight to your bank account. Over a 15-year period, most homeowners save $15,000-$20,000 in heating costs.
Massachusetts offers some of the most generous conversion incentives in the country through the Mass Save program. You can qualify for rebates up to $1,600 for high-efficiency gas equipment, plus 0% interest financing for up to 7 years on conversion costs up to $25,000.
Your local gas utility may offer additional rebates – National Grid provides up to $1,500 for efficient boilers and sometimes covers the cost of running gas service to your home if it’s not already available. Federal tax credits are also available for high-efficiency equipment, potentially saving you 30% of equipment costs.
We handle all rebate applications and paperwork for you. Many Sharon homeowners find that between rebates, financing, and immediate fuel savings, their monthly costs actually decrease from day one, even while paying off the conversion.
Most residential conversions in Sharon are completed in 1-2 days once we begin work, though the entire process from initial consultation to final startup typically takes 2-3 weeks due to permitting and utility coordination. We schedule your conversion to minimize disruption – often completing the work while you’re at work.
The timeline depends on whether natural gas service already exists at your property. If gas is available on your street, National Grid can usually connect service within 1-2 weeks. If new gas main installation is needed, the process takes longer, but the utility often covers these costs as part of their expansion program.
We coordinate all aspects including permits, inspections, and utility connections so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. Most homeowners are surprised how smooth the process is when handled by experienced professionals who understand Sharon’s local requirements.
Natural gas heating is significantly safer than oil systems when properly installed and maintained by licensed professionals. Unlike heating oil, natural gas doesn’t require storage tanks that can leak, corrode, or cause soil contamination. There’s no risk of oil spills in your basement or around your property.
Modern gas equipment includes multiple safety features including automatic shut-off valves, flame sensors, and pressure regulators. Natural gas is lighter than air, so any minor leaks dissipate quickly rather than pooling like oil vapors. Professional installation includes leak testing and proper venting to ensure safe operation.
Gas systems also eliminate the fire hazards associated with oil storage and the health risks from oil fumes. Many Sharon homeowners tell us they sleep better knowing they don’t have hundreds of gallons of combustible oil stored in their basement.
Converting from oil to natural gas typically increases your home’s market value and appeal to buyers. Real estate agents consistently report that homes with natural gas heating sell faster and often for higher prices than comparable oil-heated properties.
Buyers appreciate the lower operating costs, convenience, and modern efficiency of gas heating. Many won’t even consider homes with oil heat due to the ongoing costs and maintenance requirements. In Sharon’s competitive real estate market, gas heating can be a significant differentiator.
The conversion also demonstrates that your home’s mechanical systems are updated and well-maintained. Combined with the energy efficiency improvements, most homeowners see their property value increase by more than the conversion cost, making it a smart investment even if you plan to sell in the near future.
We coordinate professional oil tank removal and disposal as part of your conversion project. Massachusetts requires proper environmental handling of oil tanks, and we work with licensed tank removal specialists who understand state regulations and local Sharon requirements.
Above-ground tanks are typically removed the same day as your heating system conversion. Underground tanks require soil testing and sometimes remediation, which we help coordinate. Most homeowners are surprised that tank removal costs are often offset by eliminating ongoing tank maintenance and the risk of expensive leak cleanup.
The freed-up space in your basement becomes available for storage or other uses since gas equipment is much more compact than oil systems. Many Sharon homeowners use the extra space for workshops, storage, or even home gyms once their bulky oil tank and equipment are gone.
