Converting from oil to as heat.

[Hardbopjazz]

My old oil furnace died and calling for service just about every day has worn thin. I am about to switch from oil to natural gas heat. Has anyone here done this? I have gotten a few estimates already. I may not make the federal incentives for tax breaks; those expire on the 31st of December. I also have hot air heat. I know natural as is better for the planet then the oil. Just wondering what else I may be told I will need at the 23rd hour of the repair.

I did that 2 years ago, and converted to a high-efficiency NG heating unit. Actually, we have two of these babies, one for the hot water, and the other for the heat. They are very small in size comparing to the old boiler and furnace, which is also nice. Utility bills are ~40% of what they used to be, plus you get a thousand or two rebate from the feds. I'm sure they will be extended into the coming year.

I also made sure to buy the American-made units. Don't know if it matters to you.

That's good to know you saved 40%.
