Oil to Propane Conversion Cost?

BroadHopper · 01-06-2013, 09:13 AM

I stuck to the original post at first and gave the name of a very reliable gas installer who keeps up with the times and tell it like it is. I am very happy dealing with him and so were my customers. I hope Overlake gives him a call and let me/us know how he is doing.
Then I talk about a natural gas conversion project with energy credits.
Sorry I got side tracked.

Just because there in no natural gas pipeline on your street, pick up the the phone and call Liberty Utilities/National Grid, you will be surprised that if it there is another pipeline in the area, they will negotiate to have you hooked up. One client in Gilford by the airport was burning kerosene for years without knowing his neighbor had natural gas. Kerosene, yes, people still have kersosene burners.

There are homes in Laconia burning coal. Dutile stock coal and kerosene.

I heat my home in SNH with NG,I have a well insulated and high efficiency window home. I replace the antique gas fired forced air funace when I bought the house and added a/c. I was out of town last year when we had the power outage and my home never got below 52 degrees. One thing you also have to consider is the cost of up keep of oil heat. Gas either LPG or NG has little service required but to keep your pil fired system operating efficiently requires annual service. Even on a budget plan oil cost will exceed gas cost when all factors are figured into annual cost. JMHO
