A Guide by Hillside

Why Consider Oil-to-Gas Conversion?
Switching from oil to gas comes with several advantages:

Convenience: Gas is delivered directly via pipelines, eliminating the need for storage tanks or regular deliveries.

Efficiency: Gas systems can achieve up to 95% energy efficiency, translating into lower utility bills.
-
Reduced Maintenance: Gas systems are generally cleaner and require less maintenance than oil systems.
-
Reliability: Natural gas is a dependable fuel source and less likely to run out than oil storage tanks.
