Same-Day Service · Upfront Flat-Rate Pricing
If a National Grid or NYSEG gas main runs down your street, switching your home from oil to natural gas drops the oil tank, the soot, and the delivery-truck price swings. ESP runs the new gas line, installs a high-efficiency gas furnace or boiler, and pulls the permits — family-owned since 2006, with same-day visits Monday through Friday.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Most problems give you warning signs — catch one early and you often avoid a bigger repair.
The one requirement: a National Grid or NYSEG gas main at the curb. Where it’s there, a conversion is one of the best heating upgrades you can make here.
If your oil system is past its prime or repairs are getting frequent, converting now means a new high-efficiency system sized for your home.
No more scheduling fills, babysitting the tank, or riding oil-price swings — gas heat is steadier and lower-maintenance.
Conversion includes removing or abandoning the old oil tank and capping the feed — reclaiming your basement and clearing the soot for good.
Once you’re off oil deliveries and on a gas main, the fuel bill steadies out and a high-efficiency system keeps running costs down.
An older steel oil tank is a leak and cleanup risk; converting to gas lets us remove or properly abandon it and clear that liability for good.

How we do it
From your first call to the final cleanup, here’s exactly how we work — no surprises and no upsells.
First we confirm a National Grid or NYSEG main actually reaches your address, then run a load calculation for the new system.
We size a high-efficiency gas furnace (forced-air) or condensing boiler (radiators/baseboard) to your home and show the savings side by side.
We run the new gas line from the meter to your equipment and coordinate the utility gas hookup — all to code.
Licensed install of the new system, plus removing or properly abandoning the old oil tank and capping the feed.
We see the job through municipal inspection, commission the system, and walk you through the thermostat, warranty, and maintenance.

Plenty of Capital Region homes still run on heating oil — a tank in the basement, a furnace or boiler that has cycled through a dozen winters, and a delivery bill that jumps every time the oil price does. When a natural-gas main already runs down your street, converting from oil to gas is one of the best heating upgrades you can make in this region: you trade the oil tank and the soot for clean gas heat, a steadier monthly cost, and a new high-efficiency system sized for your house.
ESP handles the whole switch end to end. We run the new gas line from the meter to your furnace or boiler, install a high-efficiency gas furnace (forced-air homes) or a condensing gas boiler (radiator and baseboard homes), and properly remove or abandon the old oil tank and cap the oil feed. You get one licensed crew on the job, a flat price in writing, and a system that passes inspection — not a half-finished swap that leaves you chasing the town hall.
This is everyday work for us across Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs, and the towns between them. When you are ready, a licensed ESP tech does a free in-home assessment, confirms a gas main actually reaches your address, and shows you the conversion and the savings side by side before you decide anything.

How to decide
No pressure either way — just an honest read on whether converting from oil to gas makes sense for your address. Your tech confirms the right call during a free in-home visit, but here is the quick version.
An oil-to-gas conversion usually pays off when:
A high-efficiency oil or propane upgrade is the better call when:
Either way, we confirm whether a gas main actually reaches your parcel before recommending anything, then lay out the options and the numbers side by side.
Straight talk on price
An oil-to-gas conversion is a considered purchase, and the honest way to think about it is in three parts: the up-front price, the financing that spreads it, and the running cost once the oil truck stops coming.
The price depends on your home — the run for the new gas line, whether you need a furnace or a boiler, the venting, and the oil-tank removal — so we will not print a figure on a web page. The honest number is the one we measure for your house, and you get a flat, written quote with no surprises before any work is scheduled.
The financing spreads that price over low monthly payments through Acorn Finance, with $0-down and low-rate options for qualified buyers. See current terms on our financing page.
The running cost is the part that makes the math work: once you are off oil deliveries and on a gas main, the fuel bill steadies out and the soot and tank go away for good.
Local know-how
We convert homes from oil to gas across New York’s Capital Region wherever a National Grid or NYSEG gas main reaches the street — the gas-served cores of Albany, Schenectady, and Troy, plus Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Colonie, Delmar, East Greenbush, and the suburbs between them. On the rural, well-and-septic edges toward Nassau and the eastern hamlets, where no main has been run, we install high-efficiency oil or propane equipment instead. From our Nassau home base we cover Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and Saratoga counties and the towns in between — call (518) 482-4205 and we confirm what fuel and gas access your address actually has before we quote a thing.

Good to know
The things Capital Region homeowners ask us most about repair, replacement and cost.
It comes down to one thing: whether a natural-gas main runs down your street. National Grid feeds most city blocks in Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs, and National Grid and NYSEG territory covers much of the surrounding suburbs, so for a large share of Capital Region homes the main is already at the curb. The first thing we do on a free in-home visit is confirm a gas main actually reaches your address — if there is no main, an oil-to-gas conversion is not possible at that location and we will recommend a high-efficiency oil or propane system instead.
Three main pieces. First, we run a new gas line from the meter to your heating equipment and coordinate the utility gas hookup. Second, we install a high-efficiency gas furnace if your home is forced-air, or a condensing gas boiler if you have radiators or baseboard heat, sized to your house with a real load calculation. Third, we remove or properly abandon the old oil tank and cap the oil feed. We pull the permits, run the venting to code, and see the job through municipal inspection — one licensed ESP crew on the whole switch.
Tank removal is part of the conversion. Depending on your tank and where it sits, we either remove the oil tank entirely or properly abandon it to code, and we cap the old oil feed so there is nothing left to leak, smell, or babysit. No more deliveries, no more soot, and the basement space back. We scope exactly how your tank is handled during the free in-home assessment so it is on the written quote up front.
Yes — a gas-line installation and a heating change-out are permitted, code-inspected work, and we handle all of it. ESP pulls the permits, runs the gas line and venting to code, coordinates the utility gas hookup, and sees the job through municipal inspection. We are licensed and insured, with City of Albany license #PLBG21-147, so the work passes inspection and your home stays safe. You are never left chasing the town hall after the install.
For most homes where a gas main is available, yes — the running cost on natural gas tends to be lower and far steadier than buying heating oil by the delivery, and you stop paying for tank fills and oil price swings. We will not promise a specific dollar figure on a web page because it depends on your home and the heating season, but on a free in-home visit we lay out the conversion and the savings story side by side, with a flat written price and Acorn Finance options, so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
Yes. A conversion is a bigger job — new gas line, new high-efficiency system, tank removal — and you should not have to drain your savings for it. We finance the install through Acorn Finance, with $0-down and low-rate options for qualified buyers, so you can spread the cost over low monthly payments. See current terms on our financing page, and we will lay the payments out next to the flat price before you decide.
