Switch from Oil to Gas Heat
Why Bristol County Homeowners Convert
Oil prices hit Bristol County families hard every winter. You’re not just paying more—you’re paying for an outdated system that wastes energy and takes up valuable space.
Natural gas systems operate at over 90% efficiency while most oil systems struggle to reach 80%. That efficiency gap means you’re literally burning money with every gallon of oil. Gas burns cleaner too, so you spend less time and money on maintenance cleaning soot and ash from your system.
The conversion process typically takes one to two days, and most homeowners see the payback within five years through lower heating bills alone.
Most Plymouth County homeowners see their conversion investment pay for itself within five years, then continue saving money for decades. When you factor in the elimination of oil delivery fees, tank maintenance costs, and the stress of monitoring fuel levels, the switch becomes even more compelling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does oil to gas conversion cost in Bristol County?
Conversion costs in Bristol County typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on your home’s specific needs. Factors include whether you need a new gas line run to your home, the type of heating equipment you choose, and any additional work like chimney modifications. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your situation, so you know exactly what to expect. Most homeowners see payback within five years through lower heating bills, and many recover their investment even faster given today’s oil prices.
How long does the oil to gas conversion process take?
Most conversions take one to two days once we begin the actual installation work. However, the entire process from start to finish typically takes two to three weeks because we need to coordinate with your gas utility company for service connection and meter installation. We handle all the scheduling and coordination, so you don’t have to manage multiple contractors. We also time the work to minimize any disruption to your heating, often scheduling during milder weather when possible.
Will I really save money switching from oil to natural gas?
Yes, most Bristol County homeowners save 20-30% on their annual heating costs after converting to natural gas. Natural gas consistently costs less per BTU than heating oil, and gas equipment operates more efficiently. While oil systems typically run at 50-80% efficiency, modern gas systems achieve 90%+ efficiency. Beyond fuel savings, you’ll also spend less on maintenance since gas burns much cleaner than oil, eliminating the soot and ash buildup that requires regular cleaning.
Do I need to remove my oil tank after converting?
It depends on local regulations and your tank’s condition, but we recommend removal in most cases. Above-ground tanks can often stay in place if they’re in good condition, but underground tanks typically need removal to prevent future environmental issues. We coordinate with licensed tank removal companies to handle this safely and properly. Removing the tank also frees up valuable basement space and eliminates any concerns about leaks or environmental liability down the road.
What if my home doesn't have a gas line already?
Many Bristol County homes don’t have existing gas service, but that’s rarely a problem. We work with local gas utilities to bring service from the street to your home. The utility company typically handles running the line from the main to your property, often at no cost to you because you’re becoming a new customer. We then connect your home’s internal gas piping to feed your new heating equipment. The entire process is coordinated so your conversion happens smoothly.
Are there any rebates available for oil to gas conversion?
Massachusetts discontinued most rebates for gas heating equipment in 2024 as part of the state’s climate policy changes. However, you may still qualify for federal tax credits if you install high-efficiency equipment. Some utility companies also offer incentives for new gas customers. We stay current on all available programs and help you apply for any rebates or incentives you qualify for. Even without rebates, most homeowners find the conversion pays for itself through energy savings within five years.
