TEANECK OIL TO GAS CONVERSION GUIDE: FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CONVERTING TO NATURAL GAS

Oil used to be a very common home heating system fuel source. Coal was also, for that matter. Things change as time passes on, though, and home heating fuel sources are no exception. Natural gas has become the dominant fuel source for heating homes in this country, and with good reason. There are a lot of factors to consider when you are considering a conversion to natural gas, and it is important to understand these factors as fully as possible in order to make the right decisions about how to heat your home in Teaneck. BZ Dependable has gathered some information for you to review that should help you decide if a natural gas conversion is right for you. Consider the reasons you may want to switch to natural gas and the potential benefits that this fuel source may offer to your home. If you decide that a natural gas conversion is the way to go or if you simply need more information, call the home heating professionals at BZ Dependable.

Coal has all but disappeared as a home heating option, as it is not very convenient and not a very clean fuel option. Oil is more common, but when it comes to clean burning and energy efficiency it is difficult to argue against natural gas. It produces less pollution and gives you more heating power for you money.

Many oil furnaces are fairly old, as they are certainly built to last, but even newer models cannot match the efficiency of natural gas furnaces. High efficiency model natural gas furnaces allow you to lose almost no energy in the heating process. Plus, with an oil or propane tank you must rely on the delivery of your fuel source by a third party. When you heat your home with natural gas a main gas line pipes the fuel source directly into your home. You do not need to have it delivered and there is no chance that you may run out of it. The fact that natural gas is a predominantly domestic fuel source is a big selling point as well.

The cost of converting your home to natural gas may dissuade some people from investing in a conversion. However, even if your home does not have a preexisting gas piping system the potential savings of heating your home with natural gas can offset that cost. When you are a homeowner it is important to think about these decisions with an eye on the long term. If you live in an area where natural gas lines are not accessible you may want to look elsewhere for a fuel source. However, if natural gas is accessible to you in your Teaneck home it is hard to argue against a professional natural gas conversion from the heating experts at BZ Dependable.
