I’m a first-timer here and didn’t “allow comments” with my early post. Sorry, here it is again:

My 5 story 5,000 sq. ft. single family townhouse uses forced hot air coming from a large and quite old, but functional oil burner. I just learned I have water in my oil tank as a result of a leaky oil filling pipe coming from the street. Before paying for repairs I want to consider conversion to gas heat.

Does anyone know the costs of a new gas furnace/burner plus installation? I would also need new (larger) gas service brought it from the street. Con Ed is my gas supplier.

Also, does anyone know the difference in heating bills with gas vs. heating oil these days?

Thanks.
