Oil to Gas Conversion in the Poconos: Cost, Savings, and What to Expect
Considering switching from oil heat to natural gas in the Poconos? Here's what oil-to-gas conversion actually costs, how much you'll save each winter, and the full timeline.
Oil heat used to be standard in the Poconos. Today, natural gas has become the better long-term choice for most homeowners — lower fuel costs, cleaner combustion, and no more oil deliveries.
What does an oil-to-gas conversion cost?
A complete conversion typically runs $6,500 to $12,000 in the Stroudsburg area. The price includes a new high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler, gas line connection from the meter, removal of the old oil tank and unit, and all permits and inspections.
How much will I save?
Most Pocono families save $800 to $1,500 per winter after switching. Natural gas in Pennsylvania costs roughly half what heating oil does per BTU, and modern condensing gas furnaces hit 95-98% efficiency compared to 75-80% for older oil units.
How long does the conversion take?
Most projects are completed in 2 to 4 days from start to finish. UGI or your local gas utility handles the gas service to the meter (sometimes a separate job that takes a few weeks to schedule); we handle everything from the meter forward.
What about the old oil tank?
We safely remove and dispose of above-ground tanks as part of the project. Underground tanks require a separate decommissioning per Pennsylvania DEP rules, and we coordinate that for you.
Financing options
Most homeowners finance the project. We offer 0% financing for qualified customers and can usually structure payments below what you currently spend on oil deliveries.
