Last winter, oil heating cost Massachusetts homeowners $1,841 while natural gas totaled just $826. That’s over $1,000 in your pocket every year.
You’ll never check another oil gauge or schedule another delivery. Natural gas flows directly to your home through underground pipes, giving you endless, reliable heat without the hassle.
Your new gas system runs up to 95% efficient compared to older oil systems. Plus, you’re reducing your carbon footprint by 25% while enjoying quieter operation and no more oil fumes.

We understand Wellesley’s older homes and the unique challenges they present. From Victorian-era houses to mid-century splits, we’ve handled conversions in every neighborhood from Wellesley Hills to Wellesley Farms.
First, we assess your current oil system and home layout to design your new gas setup. We handle all permits and coordinate with your gas utility for the main line connection.

Your conversion includes new gas lines from the meter to your equipment, proper venting installation, and connection of your new high-efficiency furnace or boiler. We handle all electrical connections and thermostat wiring.
Wellesley’s mix of older and newer homes means every job is different. We work with the town’s building department for all required permits and inspections. Your installation meets all Massachusetts gas codes and local requirements.
We coordinate with National Grid for your gas service activation and can recommend reliable oil tank removal services. Many Wellesley homeowners are surprised how much basement space they gain after removing their old oil tank and equipment.
Based on recent Massachusetts energy data, you’ll save over $1,000 annually. Oil heating cost $1,841 last winter while natural gas totaled $826 for the same period.
Your exact savings depend on your home’s size and efficiency, but most Wellesley homeowners see their gas bills run 40-50% less than what they paid for oil. With current oil prices ranging from $3.10 to $4.19 per gallon in Wellesley, the savings add up quickly.
The conversion typically pays for itself within 4-6 years through energy savings alone. After that, you’re saving money every month while enjoying more reliable, convenient heating.
Yes, you need permits from Wellesley’s building department for gas line installation and equipment replacement. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
The process includes a gas permit for new lines, a plumbing permit for equipment installation, and sometimes an electrical permit if we’re updating controls. We’re familiar with Wellesley’s requirements and have established relationships with the building department.
Most permits take 3-5 business days to process. We schedule inspections at the appropriate stages and ensure everything passes before considering the job complete. You don’t need to deal with any of the paperwork or scheduling.
Most residential conversions take 1-2 days once we begin work. The timeline depends on your home’s layout, the distance from your gas meter to the equipment, and whether you’re replacing a furnace or boiler.
We typically start early morning on day one with equipment removal and gas line installation. Day two involves setting the new equipment, making all connections, and testing everything thoroughly. Some simpler jobs finish in one long day.
Weather can affect outdoor work like gas line trenching, but we work year-round in Massachusetts. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your estimate based on your home’s unique situation and current scheduling.
Your oil tank needs professional removal after conversion. We can recommend licensed tank removal companies that work throughout Wellesley and handle all environmental requirements.
Underground tanks require excavation and soil testing. Basement tanks are easier to remove but still need proper disposal. Most tank removal companies charge $1,500-$3,000 depending on the tank’s location and condition.
You’re not required to remove a basement tank immediately, but most homeowners do it for the extra space and peace of mind. Underground tanks should be removed promptly to avoid potential environmental issues down the road.
Most of Wellesley has natural gas service through National Grid, but availability varies by street. We can check your specific address and coordinate with the utility if a service line extension is needed.
If gas isn’t currently at your property, National Grid may extend service depending on distance and demand in your neighborhood. Extensions to individual homes typically cost $1,000-$5,000, but group projects with multiple neighbors cost much less per home.
We handle all utility coordination and can help organize neighborhood interest if an extension makes sense. Many Wellesley streets have added gas service in recent years as more homeowners convert from oil.
Mass Save rebates for gas equipment ended in 2024 due to state climate policy changes. However, you may still qualify for federal tax credits on high-efficiency equipment and some utility programs.
The federal tax credit covers up to 30% of qualifying equipment costs for high-efficiency systems. Some homeowners also qualify for financing programs through their utility or local banks that offer favorable terms for energy improvements.
While rebates are limited now, the annual savings from switching to gas still make conversion financially attractive. Most Wellesley homeowners recover their investment within 5-6 years through lower heating bills alone.
