Re: Heating
Gas- its cleaner, and you dont have a huge oil tank taking up space in your basement. Regarding price - some say gas is more $ now than oil, some say it isnt, so Im not sure what's right.
The house we bought has oil heat, we're probably going to switch to gas next year.

Re: Heating
Defintely gas...
No deliveries or worrying about running out and having to call to refill, etc.
Dh was nervous about gas b/c he grew up with oil...but now he says he would never buy a house with oil.

Re: Heating
Gas all the way. Much cleaner burning fuel and no running out and waiting for delivery.
My parents have oil and a tank and burner in the basement. Last month, their tank leaked into the basement. What a mess. Smelly too. Lot of $$ to replace tank and hire a clean up company.

We converted from oil to gas as soon as we bought our house. We also have a line running to the deck for our barbie!

how much does it cost to convert?
when i look for a house i would like gas, but if house is great other than oil i could convert.

Re: Heating
Jerrysgirl - Our conversion cost $6K, but we went for an upgraded burner and hot water tank, had a few radiators changed and the gas line to the deck, so I think that's the high end of what you should budget for.
