I was told that I couldn't convert my heating system to gas because

I would appreciate any opinion on this.

Thanks in advance.

Two words - BEE ESS.
You can ALWAYS go to a chimney-less condensing gas system that
exhausts through the wall, just above ground level, with a 2 inch pipe
that never gets hot enough to soften, or even be uncomfortably warm if
touched.
