Converting to Natural Gas Is an Investment That Can Increase the Value of Your Home
Our residential customers changing from old oil burner heating systems, to natural gas boiler installations, have enjoyed the benefits of having one company that can do it all. Neri & Russo can remove the exiting oil tank, pickup the new boiler, install, wire, and test the heating system for proper efficiency and function. We also help our customers through northern New Jersey with the rebate program, providing the forms, phone numbers, and even helping to fill-out the forms. Customers can also use our website to find links to state and federal tax rebate programs for installing high efficiency home heating systems.
94% High Efficiency Boiler Installations.
New 94% high efficiency boilers are less costly than you think. There are rebate programs, and tax incentives that customers in New Jersey and the rest of the country are utilizing to make the transition to green more pocket friendly.
High efficiency gas condensing boilers vent out the side of the house just above the foundation, and can avoid the need for expensive chimney liners. Chimney liner installations can be as high as $3,000 or more for a typical home in New Jersey. There are also many configuration options with high efficiency boiler installations. You can use your high efficiency boiler to heat your domestic hot water using an indirect water heater. Many new high efficiency boilers have water heaters built-in. This saves time on installation costs and also saves space conventional bulky tank-type water heaters, and storage tanks take up.
Customers converting from oil to natural gas boilers may need to upgrade a gas meter, pipe new gas pipes, or up-size existing gas piping, or do a gas re-test to unlock the gas meter.
Oil to Gas Conversion Benefits
If your system is 20+ years old you are way behind the efficiency curve. The reasons to convert are greater than you think. Here’s a list of some of the benefits:
It’s Good For The Environment
A typical home that converts to natural gas heating will emit up to 40% less CO2 and up to 99.9% less sulfur dioxide – two major contributors to climate change and acid rain. Converting also reduces emissions that deplete the ozone and contribute to respiratory illnesses like asthma. One home converting to natural gas will take up to 183,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment. That’s like taking six cars off the street for a year.
Most natural gas – 97.3% of it – comes from North America. Today the Northeast relies on foreign oil for 90% of its energy needs. If every community converted to natural gas we could reduce our country’s use of petroleum products by up to seven billion gallons per year!
What are your benefits of using natural gas?
- Natural gas is a clean, efficient energy source.
- It's always there when you need it.
- There's no need for fuel deliveries or on-site storage tanks.
- You pay only for the fuel you use after you use it.
- It's a plentiful and reliable North American resource, so prices are generally more stable than oil.
- Less maintenance, gas is a cleaner fuel to burn and there’s less maintenance than its oil.
- Quieter. Oil systems are distinctly louder than gas systems. Oil has the audible level of a motor running in your basement, gas systems do not.
- Less of a carbon footprint, due to the high gas efficiencies of natural gas.
- Home Value. Using gas heat provides you with better resale value for your home
