If your Jersey Shore home is still heated by oil, you may have wondered if it’s time to make the switch to natural gas. At Rostron Premium Home Services, we don’t service or repair oil heating equipment, but we do specialize in oil-to-gas heating conversions for homeowners who are ready to make the change.
Take a look at the before and after, this was a recent oil to gas conversion we did in Spring Lake, NJ. This home has been using an oil furnace since it was built, we now installed a high efficiency gas furnace. The equipment is similar but the way it operates is totally different.

For many Jersey Shore homeowners, converting from oil to gas can provide greater convenience, improved efficiency, and a more modern heating system.
1. No More Oil Deliveries
One of the biggest advantages of natural gas is convenience. With oil heat, you have to keep an eye on your tank and schedule deliveries. Running out of oil can leave you without heat at the worst possible time. Natural gas is delivered directly to your home through underground utility lines, so there’s no
tank to fill and no delivery to schedule.
2. Eliminate Your Oil Tank
Converting to gas can also eliminate the need for an above-ground or underground oil tank. This free up valuable space and remove an aging large piece of equipment from your property. For homeowners with older underground tanks, converting can also eliminate concerns associated with maintaining an aging tank.
3. Cleaner-Burning Fuel
Natural gas generally burns cleaner than heating oil, producing fewer emissions and less soot. A modern high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler can provide reliable heat while operating more cleanly than older oil-burning equipment.
4. Modern, High-Efficiency Equipment
An oil-to-gas conversion is more than simply changing the fuel source. It gives you the opportunity to upgrade your entire heating system. Today’s gas furnaces and boilers are available in highly efficient models designed to provide consistent comfort while using energy more effectively. Depending on your home and existing system, upgrading your equipment may also improve temperature control and overall comfort.
5. Less Maintenance
Oil-burning equipment typically requires regular cleaning and maintenance to keep the burner and system operating properly. Modern gas heating systems still require professional maintenance, but many homeowners appreciate the reduced mess and maintenance associated with switching away from oil.
6. A More Convenient Heating System
No oil tank. No oil deliveries. No worrying about how much fuel is left in the tank. For many homeowners, the biggest benefit is simply peace of mind.
