Thinking About Upgrading from Oil to Propane?
We understand — making the switch can feel nerve-wracking. There are plenty of stories out there about gas systems, and safety is always the first concern.
The truth is this: when installed correctly, propane systems are extremely safe and highly efficient.
At JG Heating & Cooling, we install gas systems the right way — using durable black iron piping, properly sized gas lines, and thorough pressure testing to ensure everything is secure before your system ever fires up. We don’t cut corners. We take the extra steps to make sure your home and family are protected.
Why Many Homeowners Are Switching from Oil to Propane
When properly designed for your home’s heating and domestic hot water load, converting from oil to propane can result in significant yearly savings.
Many older oil boilers use what’s called a tankless coil to produce hot water. The downside?
That boiler must maintain a minimum temperature of 140° year-round — even in the middle of summer.
So when you hear your boiler running on a hot July afternoon just to maintain temperature, that’s fuel literally going up the chimney.
Smarter, More Efficient Options
Upgrading opens the door to modern, energy-efficient solutions such as:
• Propane-fired combi boilers – Providing heat and on-demand hot water in one compact, high-efficiency system
• Heat-only boilers with an indirect tank – Adding a dedicated hot water zone for superior efficiency and performance
Both options eliminate constant standby heat loss and are designed to reduce fuel consumption while improving comfort and reliability.
Installed Right. Designed Right. Done Once.
The key to real savings isn’t just switching fuels — it’s proper system design and professional installation.
We carefully calculate your heating and domestic hot water demand to ensure your new system is sized and built for maximum efficiency, performance, and long-term reliability.
If you’re considering making the switch, we’d be happy to walk you through your options, answer your questions, and help you decide what’s best for your home.
