Leave Oil Deliveries Behind for Good
Oil to gas conversion in Havertown replaces your oil furnace or boiler with a gas unit and gets PECO to run or upgrade the gas line. We handle the new heating system, gas piping, chimney liner and permits, and can arrange oil tank removal. Most conversions take a few weeks from start to finish because of the PECO step.
This page is for owners of older homes who still heat with oil and are tired of price swings, delivery schedules and a basement tank that gets older every year. If you have searched oil to gas conversion near me and want a clear plan, the sections below explain each stage.
What a Conversion Project Covers
A conversion has several moving parts, and we manage them together so you do not have to coordinate each trade yourself.
- Gas availability check: We confirm with PECO that gas is available at your street and what the service line may involve, so you know the starting point before spending money.
- New gas furnace or boiler: An oil furnace to gas furnace swap or an oil boiler to gas boiler swap puts in a unit sized by heat loss, not by the old burner.
- Gas piping and venting: We run new gas piping to the unit and add a chimney liner or sealed vent as the equipment requires, which keeps exhaust safe.
- Permit and inspection: The township mechanical permit is pulled for you, and the inspector checks the gas work and venting before the system goes live.
- Startup and testing: Once PECO sets the meter, we start the system, test combustion and walk you through the controls.
- Oil tank handling: The old tank can be removed or properly abandoned through a licensed partner, with paperwork you can keep for resale.
Why Conversions Make Sense in This Area
Most of Havertown has PECO gas, but a share of older homes still burn oil from the days before gas mains reached every street. That leaves a lot of basements with aging tanks and burners.
Gas Main Work Is Happening Now
PECO is replacing old cast iron mains on several Haverford Township streets in 2026. Work like that is a good moment to ask about a new service line to your house.
Old Tanks Create Risk
Basement oil tanks in old homes can rust and leak, which can hurt resale and cause expensive cleanup. Removing one gives you floor space and peace of mind.
Radiator Homes Convert Easily
Hot water systems with cast iron radiators keep the same piping when the boiler changes fuel. The house stays comfortable and the plaster stays untouched.

Is Converting From Oil to Gas Worth It?
For most homes with gas at the street, yes. The main reasons are lower fuel cost and no more deliveries. Is converting from oil to gas worth it for your house? Run the simple math with your own bills.
- Add up your last 12 months of oil deliveries
- Compare that to an estimate of gas use for a home your size
- Subtract the cost of the conversion and divide by yearly savings
