You’re tired of watching your heating costs climb every winter while dealing with oil delivery schedules and storage tanks. Natural gas conversion changes everything – no more $1,700 winter heating bills when you could be paying around $900 instead.
The difference isn’t just in your wallet. Natural gas systems run at 90%+ efficiency compared to oil’s 50-80%, meaning more of every dollar actually heats your home. You’ll eliminate the hassle of scheduling oil deliveries, monitoring tank levels, and dealing with the mess that comes with oil heating.
Your new system takes up less space, requires less maintenance, and provides consistent, reliable heat without the odors or soot buildup that oil systems create. The conversion typically pays for itself within two years through energy savings alone.

Once gas service is available, we remove your old oil equipment and install your new natural gas system.

We handle all required inspections and testing to ensure everything meets local codes and safety standards.
The final step involves system commissioning and cleanup. We test your new heating system thoroughly, show you how to operate it efficiently, and remove all old equipment from your property. Most conversions are completed within 1-2 days, and you’ll start seeing lower heating costs immediately.

Most Waltham homeowners save between $800-$1,000 annually after converting from oil to natural gas heating. Oil heating typically costs around $1,700 per winter season, while natural gas users pay approximately $900 for the same heating period.
The savings come from natural gas being significantly more efficient and less expensive per BTU than heating oil. Natural gas systems also operate at 90%+ efficiency compared to oil systems that average 50-80% efficiency, meaning more of your energy dollar actually heats your home instead of being wasted.
Beyond the immediate cost savings, you’ll also save on maintenance costs since natural gas burns much cleaner than oil, eliminating the need for frequent system cleaning and reducing wear on your heating equipment.
Most oil to gas conversions in Waltham are completed within 1-2 days once gas service is available to your home. The timeline depends on whether you already have gas lines to your property or if new gas service needs to be installed.
If gas lines need to be run to your home, the utility company typically completes this work within 2-3 weeks after applying for service. Once gas is available, we can remove your old oil equipment and install your new natural gas system in one day for most installations.
The process includes removing old equipment, installing the new gas furnace or boiler, connecting gas lines, and completing all required safety inspections. We coordinate all aspects of the project to minimize disruption to your daily routine and ensure you’re never without heat during the conversion.
Yes, oil to gas conversions require several permits and inspections to ensure safety and code compliance. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our conversion service, so you don’t need to worry about the paperwork.
The process typically requires a gas permit for the new equipment installation, electrical permits if any wiring modifications are needed, and a final inspection by the local building department. The gas utility company also performs their own inspection before activating gas service to your new equipment.
We’re familiar with Waltham’s specific permit requirements and maintain all necessary licenses for gas work in Massachusetts. Our team ensures every aspect of your conversion meets local codes and safety standards, giving you peace of mind that the work is done properly and legally.
We coordinate the proper removal and disposal of your old oil tank as part of the conversion process. Depending on your tank’s location and condition, this may involve draining any remaining oil, cleaning the tank, and either removing it entirely or filling it with sand for abandonment in place.
Underground oil tanks require special handling and may need soil testing to ensure no environmental contamination has occurred. Above-ground tanks in basements or utility rooms are typically removed completely, freeing up valuable space in your home.
We work with licensed oil tank removal specialists who handle all environmental regulations and disposal requirements. This ensures your old tank is dealt with safely and legally, protecting both your property value and the environment. The tank removal is typically completed on the same day as your heating system conversion.
Many homeowners see their insurance premiums decrease after converting from oil to natural gas heating. Insurance companies generally view natural gas as safer than oil heating since it eliminates risks associated with oil storage tanks and reduces fire hazards.
Natural gas is piped directly to your home by the utility company, eliminating concerns about tank leaks, spills, or running out of fuel. There’s no stored fuel on your property that could pose environmental or safety risks, which insurance companies factor into their risk assessments.
You should contact your insurance provider after completing your conversion to update your policy and potentially qualify for lower rates. Many insurers offer discounts for homes with natural gas heating, and you’ll want to ensure your coverage reflects your home’s current heating system and reduced risk profile.
If natural gas service isn’t currently available on your street, we can help you explore options for bringing gas service to your property. Many utility companies will extend gas lines to new areas, especially when multiple homeowners in a neighborhood express interest in conversion.
The utility company evaluates each situation based on factors like distance from existing gas mains, number of potential customers, and installation feasibility. In some cases, they’ll install new gas lines at no cost to homeowners if enough neighbors commit to converting their heating systems.
Alternatively, we can discuss other efficient heating options like propane conversion or high-efficiency heat pump systems that can provide similar cost savings and environmental benefits. We’ll work with you to find the most practical and cost-effective solution for your specific situation and help you move away from expensive oil heating.
