We had two gentlemen from your company perform an lp/ng conversion at our firehouse several weeks ago. Many furnaces, two water heaters, and two stoves. They faced several challenges but came through excellently. Both men had great attitudes and were extremely professional. We appreciate their hard work. I would not hesitate to recommend your company for anyone’s future projects. —Joe Y.

Common Oil-to-Gas Conversion Questions
How much does an oil-to-gas conversion cost in NJ?
Every home is unique; layout, existing equipment, distance to the gas main, and scope all affect the price. We’ll provide a clear, flat-rate proposal after we review your home. For a quick ballpark on a new system, try our instant online quote tool.
Do I qualify for NJ rebates or utility incentives?
Most homeowners qualify for something. We’ll assess your setup and guide you through available programs so you can apply with confidence.
How long does the conversion take?
Once permits and utility items are lined up, in-home work is typically measured in days, not weeks. We map out a schedule and keep you posted.
What if my street doesn’t have a gas line?
Some streets do; others need utility extension work. We’ll confirm what’s available and coordinate next steps with you.
Is natural gas safe?
Safety is always the priority. We’re fully licensed and bring decades of local experience to every job. We verify performance and code compliance before wrap-up.
Will my existing ducts or radiators work?
Often, yes. Many homes reuse ducts or radiators with a new gas furnace or boiler. During your consult, we’ll review what carries over and where upgrades make sense.
Do you remove the oil tank?
We remove oil equipment and coordinate tank-related steps according to your setup and town rules, including proper disposal.
What brands do you install?
We work with trusted names like Lennox and Mitsubishi and recommend the best match for your home and comfort goals—no one-size-fits-all kits.
