Propane is a versatile and efficient fuel source that can provide a range of benefits for your home, from lower heating costs to increased energy efficiency. To read more about the many benefits of Propane heat, read our blog article: "What Are The Benefits of Propane Heat?" In this blog post, we'll go over some of the key steps you need to take to make the switch to propane.
Assess Your Heating System
The first step in converting to propane is to assess your current heating system. This includes determining the type of fuel you're currently using or if you are using electricity, the age and condition of your equipment, and any modifications that may be necessary to accommodate propane. Depending on the age and condition of your equipment, it may be more cost-effective to replace your existing furnace or boiler with a new, propane-powered model. Modern propane equipment is more efficient than ever before. Even better, propane is clean burning, and can serve other purposes outside of heating – often without requiring an additional tank. To determine the best course of action, give us a call and speak with one of our experienced representatives to start to evaluate your situation and provide expert guidance. We will then be able to schedule a technician to complete a site survey to see what your situation looks like in person.

Your Oakland Oil & Propane technician can help you choose the right size tank and arrange installation of your tank.
