Service details
What's Included With Your Oil to Gas Conversion?
In-home Assessment + Upfront Pricing
We start out with an in-depth assessment of your existing heating system setup, performed by one of our heating specialists. The inspection allows our team to provide you with a detailed scope of work and upfront pricing, so you'll know everything you need to make a decision on making the switch from oil to gas.
DOB Permits
To install or modify gas piping in Queens, permits must be applied for and obtained before starting any work. We handle all coordination with NYC DOB to ensure this step happens in a timely manner.
Schedule Gas Turn Off with Utility Company
If you already have gas coming into your home, your service must be shut off by your utility company before any work is started. If you’re currently using gas for your water heater, we will install a temporary electric hot water heater that will provide your domestic hot water supply for the duration of the conversion.
Remove Old Equipment
We will remove and safely dispose of your old heating equipment, including your oil tank and fuel lines. While our team is in your home, we treat it with respect, performing all work neatly and carefully. We’ll gladly wear shoe covers, when requested, to protect your flooring.
Add / Upgrade Gas Service
If you don’t have gas service coming into your home, the gas utility company will need to run a line from the street main to your home. We coordinate this process, but keep in mind, if this step is required, the gas conversion process can take anywhere from 2 – 6 months to complete.
If you already have gas in your home (for hot water and/or cooking), our plumbers may need to be upgrade your service for the additional gas supply needed for your boiler.
Rest assured, all gas work is safely and correctly installed by our qualified plumbers according to NYC code.
Install Equipment
We'll do the proper calculation to find the gas equipment that best fits your home's heating needs. You can expect impeccable workmanship performed by Ranshaw’s top-notch installation team.
Chimney Work
We may need to install a new chimney liner, compatible with your new gas heating system, if the condition of your chimney is not adequate.
Test and Clean-Up
Before leaving, we will test your system for safety and proper operation. Our lead mechanic will give clear instructions on how to use and maintain your new system. Lastly, our team will clean up, leaving things the way they were before we arrived.
Inspections
Once the conversion is completed, we’ll arrange appointments with the gas utility company and NYC DOB to perform all required inspections.
Gas Turn On
After all inspections are performed and we receive the proper sign-offs, the utility company will turn on your gas supply, and you can begin using your new equipment.
Guaranteed Satisfaction with Robust Warranties
We stand behind our technicians and their workmanship. We're so confident in our team's skills that we offer:
- 1-year labor warranty. Should any issues arise with the installation within the first year, we will handle the necessary labor for repairs at no additional cost.
- 100% satisfaction guarantee. We aim to exceed your expectations. If our service doesn't leave you completely satisfied, we're committed to making it right.
Price
Cost of an Oil-to-Gas Conversion in Queens
The cost to convert your home from oil to gas in Queens varies. We're always happy to provide an accurate conversion cost estimate after a thorough consultation and inspection. In the meantime, you can expect these factors to have the biggest impact on your final bill:
- Furnace size and efficiency: A smaller, less efficient boiler will cost less than a larger, more efficient model.
- Chimney lining: Since moisture in gas exhaust can damage your chimney's masonry, you may need to pay extra for a protective chimney lining. Note: A liner isn’t necessary with a high-efficiency gas system.
- Oil tank location: Removing the oil tank is less expensive if it's above ground vs. underground.
- The contractor you choose: Converting to gas should only be performed by qualified, experienced professionals. These contractors will have higher rates compared to less experienced ones, but it’s worth the extra investment. A gas conversion performed by an inferior contractor can result in decreased efficiency, a shortened boiler lifespan, and safety issues if done improperly.

Why Convert to Gas?
Converting from oil to gas has significant benefits, including:
- Eco-friendliness. Natural gas burns much cleaner than oil, resulting in fewer emissions while heating your home. Additionally, because you won't be storing an oil tank on your property anymore, you reduce the risk of dangerous oil leaks or spills that can spell trouble for the environment.
- Convenient. Say goodbye to running out of fuel or waiting for your next oil delivery. Gas heating provides direct connections to your local utility company's natural gas supply.
- More cost-effective. Typically, natural gas costs less than oil and sees fewer price fluctuations. In many cases, people break even on their investment in conversion within a few years.
