Why Switch to Natural Gas?

When it comes to heating systems, there are multiple different kinds of fuel sources. There are all-electric systems, like electric furnaces and heat pumps, but then there are combustion systems fueled by various other sources. Some people have oil-burning systems, and others rely on propane or natural gas. We’d argue that some of these are better than others, and our team is the one that will convert them to the best form.

We’d like to focus on the benefits of an oil to gas conversion in Pelham, NY. Sure, customers might have grown accustomed to their old boilers that run on oil, but that could be costing them a lot of money year after year. Natural gas is a more clean-burning source of fuel, as well as an efficient method for heating a home when compared to other fuel sources. And, as of now, natural gas is incredibly affordable.

The Affordability Index

Right now, one of the prime reasons to invest in a natural gas furnace or boiler, is due to the affordability of gas. Gas line installation might be an additional expense in a home or building, but it will save money in the long run since this type of fuel is plentiful and affordable.

Even all-electric heating systems like heat pumps have trouble being as affordable as gas furnaces, primarily because of the price of gas currently. In a decade or so, that price could increase, but for the foreseeable future, a gas furnace is both a great initial investment and an efficient system to continue using.

Natural Gas Is Local

When a heating system runs on oil, that oil needs to be shipped from somewhere. Sometimes it’s produced inside of the United States, but other times it’s produced in another country and shipped overseas. This can be a huge part of why oil is so expensive and leads to some unethical practices by governments and companies. It never feels good to find out the oil heating a home doesn’t get produced domestically.

Well, natural gas is primarily produced locally and doesn’t require as much shipping. The gas flows freely through gas lines underground, so there’s no international bargaining or international ethics to worry about.

Efficiency Is the Key

Natural gas furnaces and boilers are efficient, and that really counts for something these days. Oil and propane systems might not have the same level of efficiency and they could end up costing more money in the long run. Talk to a professional technician to see just how much more efficient a gas furnace would be than a traditional oil system.
