Converting from Oil to Gas
Your E.N. Blue representative will complete a natural gas application for you, and forward it to Enbridge on your behalf.
Enbridge will come and install the pipeline and then later return to install the gas meter. Enbridge has an average wait of 4 weeks to install the pipeline & meter. E.N. Blue has no control over the scheduling of gas meter installation by Enbridge.
Please give us a call when your gas meter has been installed, so we can book your installation date. If you are switching from oil to gas and have an oil tank we will need to know approximately how much oil is in the tank to be removed.
On the day of installation your old heating system will be disconnected therefore while we are installing you will not have heat from this system. You may wish to have heaters or another heat source available.
Once we are finished installing EN Blue will call Enbridge on your behalf to book an inspection of the installation and to unlock the meter. The appliances that are hooked up to gas cannot be run until Enbridge does the inspection and turns the meter on. Enbridge inspectors book in 4-hour intervals and someone will need to be home to let the inspector in. Usually the inspection is booked for 6-10pm. When the installation passes inspection the inspector will unlock the meter on and turn the appliances on.
If you have any questions, please give us a call at 831-1430 or 563-8132.
Thoughts to consider when deciding:
- Oil furnaces cost a little less than gas furnaces, however, you will probably also require a new Oil tank and stainless steel chimney liner.
- Oil and gas are close in running costs, with propane being the highest cost option
- Check our Grants/Rebates page for incentives on purchasing a high efficiency gas furnace. This rebate does not apply to oil furnaces.
