The Smart Way to Switch from Oil to Natural Gas
Why Homeowners Are Making the Change
For generations, oil furnaces kept Connecticut homes warm through the most brutal winters. Plainville, Southington, Cheshire, and the surrounding areas.
Natural gas delivers a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient experience. You’ll never have to schedule oil deliveries or worry about running out of fuel in the middle of a cold spell again. At Dynamic Heating, Cooling & Geothermal, we specialize in helping homeowners make this transition smoothly, safely, and with complete transparency from start to finish.
We handle everything, from utility coordination and permitting to installation and oil tank removal, so you can focus on enjoying reliable heat, lower energy costs, and a home that runs more efficiently throughout the year.
The Evolution of Home Heating
The move from oil to natural gas isn’t just a passing trend—it’s the future of home comfort in Connecticut. Natural gas is piped directly to your home, providing instant access to fuel without the need for bulky tanks or deliveries. This direct connection means fewer moving parts, fewer maintenance needs, and more peace of mind.
Our customers often describe it as “set it and forget it” heating. Once your heating system is in place, it quietly does its job season after season, keeping your home consistently comfortable with minimal attention.

The Benefits of Switching to Natural Gas
Lower Heating Costs and Long-Term Stability
Connecticut homeowners can see immediate savings by converting to natural gas. Natural gas tends to be 25–30% more cost-effective than heating oil, and the price remains steadier year over year. With oil, your costs rise and fall in line with global markets; with natural gas, you benefit from consistent rates and a reliable supply through local utilities.
We’ll even help you calculate your potential savings during the estimate, factoring in your current usage, insulation levels, and system efficiency to provide a realistic ROI timeline.
Reliable, Hassle-Free Comfort
Once you’re connected to the utility line, you’ll never again need to schedule deliveries or monitor a fuel gauge. A natural gas system is always ready when you need it. Because gas burns cleaner than oil, your system stays efficient longer and requires less maintenance—no oil filters, no nozzles, no soot buildup.
A Cleaner, Greener Home
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, producing fewer carbon emissions and particulates than oil. For families who want to make an environmentally conscious upgrade, this switch reduces your household carbon footprint while keeping your indoor air cleaner and your equipment running smoothly.
A Modern Upgrade That Adds Value
Buyers today look for homes that are efficient, modern, and easy to maintain. Installing a natural gas heating system enhances your property’s value and appeal. Additionally, installing a gas line opens up the opportunity for future upgrades, such as a gas fireplace, range, dryer, or water heater.
Step One: Check for Gas Availability
Before getting started, we’ll help you determine whether your home is located near an existing natural gas main. Most Connecticut utilities offer interactive maps or quick address lookups, but we handle that verification as part of our consultation process.
If your home qualifies, we coordinate directly with the gas utility to plan the connection—from the street main to your property’s new gas meter. This ensures every detail, permit, and timeline is handled properly before the installation begins.
Step Two: Understand What’s Involved in the Conversion
Every conversion is different, but here’s what the process generally includes:
- Site Assessment and Planning: We visit your home to evaluate your existing system, including ductwork and radiators, the venting path, and the setup of your oil tank.
- Utility Coordination: We schedule your gas line connection and ensure it’s installed safely and in accordance with code.
- Equipment Selection: Based on your home’s heating load, we recommend the right gas furnace or boiler—always prioritizing efficiency, longevity, and comfort.
- Oil Tank Removal or Decommissioning: If you have an oil tank, we arrange for proper removal or abandonment in accordance with Connecticut environmental standards.
- Installation and Testing: Our certified technicians remove your old system, install the new gas unit, connect all gas lines, and test for safety and performance.
- Final Inspection and Start-Up: We coordinate with local inspectors to ensure your system meets all requirements. Once approved, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough to demonstrate how everything works.
Throughout the project, our goal is to keep the process simple, safe, and on schedule, so you can start enjoying dependable, efficient heat without disruption.
Step Three: Understand the Costs and Savings
Typical Conversion Costs in Connecticut
The average Connecticut homeowner spends $4,000 to $10,000 on a complete oil-to-gas conversion, depending on several factors:
- Distance from the gas main and utility connection fees
- Size and efficiency of your new furnace or boiler
- Oil tank removal or decommissioning
- Chimney liner or venting modifications
- Permits and inspections required by your town
Long-Term Return on Investment
Switching to natural gas isn’t just about today’s savings; it’s about tomorrow’s stability. Homeowners often recover their conversion cost within five to seven years, thanks to lower fuel prices, improved system efficiency, and reduced maintenance expenses.
