Ditch Oil Heat for Good

A full oil-to-electric conversion typically costs $14,000-$24,000 before incentives. After stacking PSEG rebates (up to $5,000), the federal IRA tax credit (up to $2,000), and NYSERDA incentives, most homeowners pay $9,000-$17,000 out of pocket. Oil-to-electric conversions qualify for the highest rebate tiers. Income-qualified households may pay nothing through PSEG Home Comfort Plus.

Your oil tank needs to be decommissioned or removed. For underground tanks, a licensed environmental contractor pumps out remaining oil, cleans the tank, and fills it with sand or foam. Above-ground tanks are drained and removed. We coordinate this with a trusted local contractor so you don't have to manage it separately. Tank removal typically costs $800-$2,500 depending on type and location.

Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps from Mitsubishi and Daikin operate efficiently down to -13F. Long Island winters rarely drop below the teens, well within the comfort range. If you want extra security, we can install a hybrid system that keeps your existing boiler as backup for the coldest nights while the heat pump handles 90%+ of your heating.

Many older Long Island homes have 100-amp panels that can't support a heat pump without an upgrade. A 200-amp panel upgrade typically costs $1,500-$2,500. We assess your electrical capacity during the estimate and let you know upfront. Some newer heat pump models are designed to work with lower-amperage panels, which can avoid this cost.

The heat pump installation itself takes 1-3 days depending on the system. Oil tank decommissioning adds another day. If you need an electrical panel upgrade, that's an additional day. Most full conversions are completed within a week. We schedule everything so the work flows without gaps.

Yes. A heat pump heats and cools with the same system. Most oil-heated homes on Long Island don't have central AC, so converting to a heat pump gives you whole-home cooling for the first time. It's one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades our customers mention after the switch.

PSEG and NYSERDA offer higher incentives for oil-to-electric conversions because they produce the largest reduction in carbon emissions. Switching from oil to an electric heat pump cuts household heating emissions by 50-75%. These programs are designed to accelerate that transition, so conversion projects qualify for rebate tiers that standard heat pump installations don't.
