Our Full-Service Oil-to-Gas Conversions for Edison Homeowners
Our full-service oil-to-gas conversion covers every step, so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors.
A standard conversion includes:
- Removal or decommissioning of your existing oil furnace or boiler.
- Installation of a new high-efficiency natural gas furnace or boiler.
- Gas line pipe from the meter to your new equipment.
- Venting and chimney liner upgrades, as needed.
- Thermostat replacement and system testing.
- Coordination of oil tank removal with a tank contractor.
We can also help you decide whether to pair the conversion with a new water heater. Many Edison homes still run on oil-fired water heaters, and switching both at the same time can help you save money on labor and permits.
Benefits of Switching from Oil to Gas in Edison, NJ, Homes
Switching your Edison home from an oil to gas-powered heating system means lower, more predictable heating costs. Natural gas costs less than heating oil per unit of heat, and you’ll no longer have to budget for deliveries, tank monitoring, or emergency fill-ups.
Gas heat is also cleaner and requires less maintenance than oil. Modern gas furnaces produce less soot, need fewer service visits, and deliver better efficiency. New gas systems reach AFUE ratings of 95% or higher, compared to 80% or less for older oil burners.
A conversion can also add resale value. Buyers in Middlesex County often prefer homes without oil tanks to avoid leak liability and remediation, and a documented conversion can make your home easier to sell.
Our Oil-to-Gas Conversion Process in Central Jersey
Our oil-to-gas conversion services in Edison start with a free in-home assessment. A NATE-certified technician inspects your current system, checks your ductwork or radiators, and confirms whether a gas line already runs to your property. If your home needs a new gas line or meter upgrade, we’ll request service from your utility and track the timeline.
Once we confirm gas availability, we’ll calculate your home’s heating load and walk you through your equipment options. Our team will explain the pricing, efficiency ratings, and lifespan of each one so you can make the right decision for your home. We’ll also pull the permits through the Township of Edison and schedule the required inspections.
On conversion day, we’ll begin by shutting down and disconnecting your oil system. Our team will remove your old system, install the new furnace, and test it to confirm it’s running safely. The entire process takes one to two days once the gas line is in place, with a final walkthrough at the end to show you how to use your new equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to convert from oil to gas heat in NJ?
The cost of converting oil to gas in NJ depends on the equipment, gas line requirements, and tank removal. We provide an upfront quote after a free in-home assessment so you know the full price before any work starts.
Do you handle the old oil tank removal?
We coordinate with a licensed tank contractor to remove or decommission your tank as part of the project. New Jersey requires abandoned oil tanks to be properly decommissioned or removed with permits to prevent leaks or soil contamination.
Is natural gas actually cheaper than oil in the long run?
Natural gas costs less to run than heating oil for most Edison homes. Fuel prices fluctuate, but gas consistently costs less per unit of heat. High-efficiency gas furnaces also use less fuel than oil systems and don’t carry delivery fees.
Is natural gas available at my Edison home?
Most neighborhoods in Edison have gas service on the street. When you schedule a conversion, we’ll confirm availability with your utility before beginning any work. If you need a new service line, we’ll coordinate the request for you.
Do I need a chimney liner for my new gas system?
Oil-to-gas conversions in older Edison homes may require a chimney liner because gas exhaust is cooler and more acidic than oil exhaust. High-efficiency furnaces vent through PVC pipe instead, so you don’t have to worry about using the chimney at all. When selecting equipment, we’ll explain the venting process so you know what’s required.
Does a gas system need less maintenance than oil?
Yes, gas systems require less maintenance than oil heaters. There’s no soot buildup to clean, nozzles or filters to replace, or tank to monitor. An annual professional tune-up is often all you need to keep your system running efficiently.
