It’s Time to Switch From Oil to Gas

Monday, March 13th, 2023

There was a time that oil heaters were very common in the United States, but that time has come and gone. There’s pretty much nothing that an oil furnace can do that a natural gas furnace can’t do better and cheaper than its older counterparts.

There’s a very good reason why the most common appliance in the country these days is a gas furnace.

Today, we’d like to highlight a few reasons why you might want to consider ditching your old oil heating system for a newer, more efficient natural gas one.

Gas is better for a variety of reasons, and oil is quickly becoming out of style except for a few niche homes or buildings where they don’t have access to natural gas.

For all of our residential customers looking to invest in a new heating replacement in Barron, WI, consider switching to a gas furnace for the following reasons.
