Whether your current oil boiler is outdated, unreliable or expensive to run, our team can manage your entire conversion from start to finish.
Why Convert from Oil to Gas?
For many North Coast homes, oil heating has been the traditional choice. But with rising oil prices and stricter efficiency requirements, more households are making the switch to natural gas.
Here’s why an oil-to-gas conversion is a smart investment:
- Lower Heating Costs
Gas is typically cheaper than oil, and modern gas boilers waste far less energy. Most homeowners notice immediate reductions in their heating bills.
- Higher Efficiency
Modern condensing gas boilers can achieve efficiencies of up to 90–94%, meaning more heat for less fuel.
- No More Oil Deliveries or Storage Tanks
Say goodbye to:
- Running out of oil
- Scheduling deliveries
- Maintaining or replacing an external oil tank
Gas provides a continuous, reliable supply.
- Environmentally Cleaner
Natural gas burns cleaner than heating oil, producing fewer carbon emissions.
- Quieter, More Compact Boilers
Gas boilers are smaller, quieter and require less day-to-day maintenance.
- Adds Long-Term Property Value
Upgrading to gas heating makes your home more attractive to buyers and improves EPC ratings.
