If you live in an older home around the Long Island area, your home may have an older heating system that relies on oil. Recently, it’s become apparent that natural gas is a more reliable and efficient way to heat homes. However, if you live in a home that uses oil, don’t fret! At Rebmann, we can help you modernize your heating through an oil to gas conversion. As for why you’d want to switch, there are plenty of good reasons.

Here are six reasons you should call for our help with an oil to gas conversion:

 

It’s cleaner more efficient

Oil heating equipment for older homes tends to be somewhat inefficient at processing oil. On average, oil heating has an efficiency of 50% – 80%. On the other hand, natural gas heating is usually over 90% efficient. Also, natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel available.

 

Become less reliant on foreign instability

The United States of America is the world’s greatest producer of oil. However, we’re still reliant on other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, that can produce plenty of oil. About a quarter of the total global oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. This means that the instability in the region can cause major spikes in the price of oil. Not to mention fluctuations caused by global politics in general. Meanwhile, natural gas has a more stable price and is less likely to fluctuate dramatically.

 

Save space in your home

One of the physical benefits of a gas furnace is that it’s smaller than its oil versions. Getting a natural gas furnace can help you save a bit of space by switching out your oil model.

 

It’s a cost-effective investment

Natural gas heating is generally less expensive than oil heating. Switching heating systems will cost a good deal of money for the infrastructure, but it’s an investment worth making. You’ll earn your investment back with interest by switching to natural gas.

 

It can raise your home’s value

When making big changes to your home, you always want to consider how it’ll affect its resale value. Modernizing your home is always a good way to improve that value. Having an efficient and effective heating system is a big draw for potential buyers.

 

It’s easy to deliver

Many communities in the Northeast have dedicated gas lines that pump natural gas to homes. With oil, you always have to keep a close eye on how much you have so you don’t run out. Don’t know if your home is connected to a natural gas line? Call your local town hall or gas company to learn more.
