We’ve been notified by the boiler company who inspects our 4 unit brownstone that the current oil boiler needs replacing. Our co-op president is forecasting imminent doom and destruction if we don’t adhere immediately, however I’d first like to call in an independent assessor to evaluate the pros/cons of gas vs oil.
Apparently if we swap from oil to gas we’d need a separate hot water boiler, new gas piping, permits etc and it’d potentially cost $9000 just for the gas boiler, or $6500 for oil.

A: does anyone know of such an assessor?

B: has anyone converted a brownstone from oil to gas that can share there experiences?

C: can anyone recommend an honest/competent oil/gas boiler company that you’ve worked with?

If you know anyone who has experience with these kind of issues, then I’d love to hear from them.

Cheers
