Hi, I live in Queens and found a discussion about oil-to gas conversion on this websit. Info was very helpful but I wondered if someone could help me. I 3 quotes so far & my head is spinning. I quote didn’t even mention permits and wanted 6700. Sears wanted 11K, no removal of oil tank. another co. quoted $9400, oil tank, removal, permits & weil mclain tank with hot water coil. I live in a single family with oil/steam heat. Original owners never changed the oil burner. Its a Peerless. I know its not energy effecient. I have 8 radiators in my home. Any suggestions about boilers, indirect heating, and System 2000? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
THey sound a bit high.
I received a quote for a bigger property, includes oil tank removal and permits for $6500
National Grid has people that do this try them
You need a plumber who will measure the radiators and determine what the proper size unit is for your needs. Replacing with the same size as you now have may be a costly mistake as old boilers were frequently oversized.
I had a Burnham boiler installed after getting estimates from local plumbers listed in the Burnham site. There was quite a spread in prices for almost identical work.
In order for you to make any sense of it, you need to be able to compair apples to apples. Have all contractors give you a price for the same amount of work. One no taking out the tank and not pulling permits is useless. You need a permit for the work. A savy buyer will discover it when you go to sell one day and you will need to deal with it than. You might need something to show National Grid to get the heating rate also. There are many types of radiators out there. You most likely will not like the cheap ones, ask for cut sheets on the radiators and boiler. You can compair that to the various bids.
