Converting from oil to propane?

One CT crew handles the tank, the line work, the equipment, and the old oil tank removal — no juggling three contractors.

Phil says: Most folks dread the conversion because they think it means coordinating four companies. With us, it's one phone call.

AT A GLANCE
Converting from heating oil to propane means a new propane tank, a gas line to the house, new high-efficiency heating and hot-water equipment, and removal of the old oil tank. We manage the whole project, including permits and any required soil testing.
OVERVIEW

Built around how your home uses propane.

Switching from heating oil to propane is one of the bigger comfort upgrades a Connecticut homeowner can make — cleaner-burning, opens the door to a gas cooktop, dryer, generator, and pool heater, and qualifies for utility rebates. We run the whole project: site visit, tank sizing, permit, propane tank install (above or below ground), gas line to the house, new high-efficiency boiler or furnace, water heater, and full removal of the old oil tank including any soil testing required.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical oil-to-propane conversion take?
Most full conversions take 2-4 days on-site once permits are pulled. We schedule the equipment swap so you're never without heat overnight in winter.
What does it cost to convert from oil to propane?
The cost depends on the home's size, the equipment and tank it needs, whether an existing boiler can be converted, and whether the old oil tank is above ground or buried. Reusing a boiler that is in good condition may reduce the scope, while a larger home or a full equipment replacement can cost more. We assess the system first and provide a written quote for the work your home needs.
Do you remove the old oil tank?
Yes — above-ground or underground. For a buried tank, we manage the required assessment, closure or removal process, testing, and documentation with the appropriate specialists and authorities.
Will I save money switching to propane?
Operating cost depends on the home, equipment, weather, usage, fuel prices, and maintenance. We compare the full project and the practical benefits — including equipment efficiency, reliability, available space, and the appliances you want to run — so you can choose the best overall value for your household.
Can any of my existing heating equipment be reused?
Sometimes. If the existing boiler is in good condition and suitable for conversion, we may be able to retain it and convert the boiler to propane rather than replace the entire system. We inspect the boiler and venting before recommending an approach. If you also want backup power, a generator can add security during an outage; we can run its propane gas line and keep the tank supplied.
