Oil prices can be low one day and sky high the next, so relying on oil to heat your home might not be the most cost-effective choice. Luckily, natural gas prices are constantly at a low and fair price without much volatility. Here’s what you’ll need to make the switch from oil to gas.
Line It Up
Oil deliveries will be a thing of the past when you switch to natural
gas. Instead, a gas line will need to be run into your home for a constant
access to the supply. First things first, contact your local gas supplier
and make sure that it’s possible for these lines to reach your home.
Brand New
The biggest turn off to switching is the purchase of a brand new gas furnace.
While the upfront cost of a new furnace is a pretty penny, the savings
in monthly bills will eventually offset it. The new furnace will have
a stable monthly pricing for its fuel and since it’s brand new it
will be highly efficient. Fortunately, many companies do offer rebates
for added savings when switching from oil to gas.
Easy Connections
If your home has existing gas lines running to your house because of your
kitchen range, you will save a lot of money in installation. The installer
will have to come to install the new furnace, but other than that they
will just have to connect it to the gas meter. If you already have gas
lines, why not take advantage of the future savings?
