Oil to Gas Conversion Burner
My daughter has a 15 year old house with an oil fired boiler. The unit
was the top of the line and has is operating at 80% efficiency according to the latest tuneup She has a gas line into the house. In our area oil is more than twice as expensive as natural gas per therm. My options are to replace the oil burner with a Wayne conversion burner and leave the boiler in tact, 3 hour job for myself. With this option I can run the tank dry (she has about 250 gallons left) and then replace the burner. My other option is to replace the entire unit with a Triangle Tube high efficiency boiler. To do this will require a 2 day operation and I will probably have to do the replacement before the heating season begins. Any suggestions? BTW she used about 900 gallons last year. Thanks, Richard |

Thanks, Richard a high efficeny replacement will net more long term savings, converting to natural gas if availble is a good idea. check with gas supplier they may have some incentives to encourage conversion |
