Natural Gas is Economical and Efficient
Natural gas is one of the most convenient and economical energy sources we have.
It’s piped directly to the customer’s facility through a safe, efficient pipeline system. There’s no need to store oil on site in tanks, or schedule oil deliveries.
While the price and supply of oil is susceptible to international events, and over half of the oil used in this country is imported, there is an abundant supply of domestic natural gas.
Natural gas is reliable. The pipeline system can’t be easily damaged by weather or affected by weather conditions. In contrast, oil must be trucked to the customer’s location, and truck deliveries are susceptible to weather conditions.
Costs of oil to gas conversion
Natural gas costs much less than oil, and given the constant rise in oil costs, that doesn’t seem likely to change in the future. Thus, a home can be heated by natural gas much more cost-effectively than if the same home used oil for heating. However, due to the high cost of converting your home from oil to gas, it may take a few years for you to reap the financial benefits. If your furnace isn’t a candidate for simple burner replacement, you might need to purchase and install an entirely new furnace. You might need an upgrade to your existing gas line. If your home doesn’t have a gas line, your heating technician will have to install one from scratch. All of this to say: Don’t expect your new gas furnace to pay for itself for several years.
