Hi,
Just looked at a house with a very old oil boiler. Can anyone tell me anything about replacing it and/or converting to gas? The broker suggested that the gas company would give us a boiler as an incentive to convert — REALLY?? That doesn’t sound plausible to me . . .

How difficult/pricey is a conversion, and what does new boiler generally cost?

Thanks very much, I’ve been in an apartment for my entire adult life so I have very little idea about these things . . .

  1. I got quotes on this last year, $6500 for a new oil boiler vs. $1250 for the conversion.

    Definitely agree get the chimney inspected — we did not, and boiler was a little oversized for the chimney, so it leaked about a year later. Relining was $3700.
