Upgrade to Natural Gas Heating

Oil heating, while still effective, is often more expensive to operate and requires more ongoing maintenance than modern gas systems.

If your home still depends on an oil heating system to achieve the warm, consistent temperatures you expect, it may be time to consider a smarter, more efficient solution. Converting to natural gas can deliver steady, reliable comfort while helping you cut down on fuel costs and reduce system upkeep.

At GEM Plumbing & Heating Services, LLC, we handle the entire conversion process from start to finish, making it easy to upgrade your home’s heating system with confidence. Contact us today for oil-to-gas conversion services in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

What to Expect During an Oil-to-Gas Conversion

At GEM, we follow a tried-and-true process that allows for a smooth transition from oil to gas with minimal disruption to your home and routine. Here’s how we do it:

We start with a detailed evaluation of your current oil system, your home’s layout, and your heating needs. This helps us determine the best path forward for a safe and efficient conversion.

Next, we design a tailored solution, including equipment recommendations, installation scope, and coordination with your local gas utility. You’ll have a clear understanding of the process, timeline, and expectations.

Our licensed technicians handle the full conversion, from removing or decommissioning your oil system to installing your new gas heating equipment and completing all necessary connections.

Once installation is complete, we thoroughly test your new system for performance and safety, then walk you through how everything works so you feel confident and comfortable moving forward.

Joe Hawksley Sr came and inspected our HVAC. He explained the features of the system to us in a businesslike and courteous manner. We bought the service contract and it was well worth it. Thanks
Professional and diligent. Would recommend.
Very helpful and efficient upon arrival I had kind of a strange and unique issue but it was all handled. While the cost is a bit on the expensive side with paying a flat fee for someone to come out it is definitely a great option in a pinch needing a last minute service
Above and beyond. Efficient and professional
Very courteous, professional
On time and quickly diagnosed the problem and solved the problem. He had the needed parts in his van. The cost was reasonable. I highly recommend Corey and GEM
Selected G.E.M. for new Carrier central a/c- had a very rocky start with scheduling which they cancelled several times. However, Tim in sales is fantastic and did great recovery-as has been every technician. We have used GEM now for a/c and plumbing (Moen Flo install followed by installation of a water pressure valve). In every case, service has been excellent. They’re expensive no doubt but they’re quick and efficient and stand behind their work.
Great service, friendly and knowledgeable
Doug from GEM performed a PM on our Central AC system and was professional and knowledgeable…would definitely recommend!
He explained everything in detail and fixed problem. Friendly and experienced.
Thank you. I would highly recommend Gem plumbing. Thank you Joseph 😊.
Excellent service! The inspection was a breeze!
Nicole Tradd from GEM came out to perform a water test, and she was outstanding. She was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure. Her expertise and excellent customer service gave us a great impression of GEM. Because of our experience with Nicole, we’ll absolutely be using GEM for our future plumbing, electrical, and HVAC needs. Highly recommend!
The technicians that came to my home were very knowledgeable and friendly. They also made me aware of an important service that needs to be performed in the near future.
Very courteous and efficient work done.
Great all around for a large on-demand heating installation project . Very talented team. Very impressed . Will definitely use GEM in the future
This company is very professional and orderly. I called them up and they had somebody out there the next day. They communicated very well letting me know when they were arrive. They finished the job within three hours of arriving. They were very efficient and nice. I would highly recommend them!
Technician Joseph answered a call for my central air not coming on.
He was experienced and knew what to check out. Also, very friendly. I had central air working in no time at at all!!! Thanks Joseph.
The air conditioner serving the second floor of my brand-new house had problems from day one. For months, the builder kept sending different technicians, each trying to fix one issue after another, but no one addressed the actual cause. As a result, the upstairs bedrooms became unbearably hot, and we often had to sleep in the first\-floor family room just to stay comfortable.

Eventually, instead of waiting any longer for another warranty visit, I called GEM Plumbing & Heating – and I’m so glad I did.

GEM sent a technician, Dory, the very next day. He quickly identified the real problem: a refrigerant leak. It turned out that the builder’s technicians had been treating only the symptoms of the leak, such as condensate buildup, rather than finding and fixing the root cause.

Dory returned the following day with the necessary equipment, and resolved the issue. The air conditioning has been working great ever since.

I only wish I had called GEM from the beginning instead of enduring an uncomfortable summer.

A huge thank you to GEM—and especially to Dory—for real expertise and the outstanding service. Highly recommended!
Michael A. really helped us out by replacing our outdoor outlets, and then turning them all to face the way I needed them to work best for me. He also picked out an excellent flood light for our driveway. Michael was super friendly and efficient. Thank you!!
Two very nice, and helpful young men, came to my home. They were there to do an HVAC summer tuneup. They were quick and efficient. Moreover, they helped me move a couple of things as I am a 100% disabled vet who has had to have three right shoulder replacements..
Mini split water leak was evaluated, repaired and reasonably priced for the job.
Richard & Anthony were very professional and provided complete/honest assessment of HVAC system. Would definitely recommend this service.
Had our electrical outlets repaired and also checked the panel board. The team was professional and explained exactly what they were doing
I willing have all my electrical work done by Gem. Also if needed any plumbing and heating work done also.
I would highly recommend Gem to anyone in need of these services!
Excellent job. Dave is very competent and professional. He’s done work for us in the past and we’re never disappointed.
Joan came out to determine the cause of our AquaCal Pool Heat Pump fault DPO ( defrost sensor code) upon inspection, he found that mice had chewed the wires in three areas. He patched the wires and we are up and running again. The Aquacal company couldn’t be here for over two weeks! GEM has a wonderful team of techs for all your needs. Highly recommended this company for HVAC service. Thank You!

What are the Benefits of Switching from Oil to Gas Heating?

It can be intimidating to move away from what you know works.

Switching from oil to gas, though, can have tremendous benefits for your home. Here are some of the most enticing benefits of switching from oil to gas:

Natural gas is typically more affordable than oil, helping reduce your monthly heating expenses. Over time, those savings can really add up, especially during long New England winters.

Modern gas heating systems are designed to operate more efficiently than older oil systems. That means you get more consistent heat while using less fuel to keep your home comfortable.

Gas systems burn cleaner than oil, which means less buildup, fewer odors, and fewer maintenance concerns. You’ll spend less time worrying about upkeep and more time enjoying reliable heat.

With natural gas, you won’t need to schedule deliveries or monitor tank levels. Your fuel is delivered directly to your home, so you never have to worry about running out when you need heat most.

Installing a natural gas boiler or furnace can save you up to 30% on your energy bills. You might also qualify for rebates. For instance, Rhode Island Energy currently offers rebates of up to $1,000 for a gas boiler or $600 for a gas furnace.

Gas Heating Options in New England

Gas heating is flexible, and finding the right system for your home can make all the difference.

At GEM, we offer a variety of gas heating options to keep your home warm.

Gas furnaces are one of the most common heating solutions, delivering warm air through your home’s ductwork for fast, consistent comfort. They’re a great option if you already have ducts in place and want reliable, efficient heating with quick response times.

Gas boilers heat water and distribute warmth through radiators or baseboards, providing steady, even heat without blowing air. This option is ideal for homeowners who prefer quiet operation and consistent temperatures throughout their home.

Gas-powered or hybrid heat pump systems offer an energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home year-round. They work by transferring heat rather than generating it, making them a smart choice for homeowners looking to maximize efficiency and comfort in all seasons.

Proudly Serving Rhode Island and Massachusetts Homeowners

Choosing the right company is just as important as choosing the right heating system.

You want a team you can trust to do the job right, communicate clearly, and stand behind their work long after installation is complete.

At GEM, we’ve built our reputation on dependable service, quality workmanship, and a commitment to customer satisfaction across New England.

Since 1949, we’ve been helping homeowners stay comfortable in every season. That kind of experience means we’ve seen it all and know how to handle every detail of your conversion.

Our team is fully trained, licensed, and up to date on the latest heating technologies. You can trust that your system is installed safely and correctly the first time.

We handle every step of the oil-to-gas conversion process, so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors. From planning to final testing, we make the process simple and seamless.

We take the time to explain your options, answer your questions, and keep you informed throughout the project. No surprises, just straightforward guidance you can rely on.

We install trusted, high-performance systems designed for efficiency and long-term reliability. That means better comfort for your home and fewer issues down the road.

Your comfort and satisfaction are always our top priorities. We’re not done until you’re confident in your new system and happy with the results.
