Central Heating Conversions
At Universal Gasworks, we help homeowners switch their heating systems from oil or electric heat to a gas or propane central heating setup. Whether your oil furnace is aging, or your electric baseboards are causing high bills, converting to gas or propane can give you cleaner, more efficient heating. We assess your home’s current system, local fuel options (natural gas or propane), and recommend the right equipment so you get long-term comfort and savings.
Why Convert from Oil or Electric to Gas/Propane
Lower Costs & Efficiency — Gas and propane burn cleaner, cost less than oil or electric heat, and provide long-term savings.
Cleaner & Reliable — Fewer emissions, no oil tank upkeep, and steady automatic heat without fuel delivery worries.
Comfort & Control — Modern furnaces give faster warmups, quieter operation, and better temperature control.
