Anyone who has a chance should
change to NG, and many have. The things to weigh is that on the one
hand, you pay for oil upfront at a price that's at the whim of the
market, while for NG you pay after it is consumed. (budget plans
generally available). On the other hand changing over means paying a
rather big one-time set of charges - removal of oil tank, and
purchase of a new system.


I'd change at any time. The problem though, is the lack of a NG line
on my street. When I moved here, I was the only house, about $30,000
from the nearest gas line. Two more houses have been built since, but
it would still be tens of thousands of bucks to run a line to the
three of us.
