-
Site Visit & Estimate
It all begins with a site visit. A Superior Propane Certified Partner will review your current heating system and your heating needs, provide you information on the benefits of propane, such as its higher efficiency compared to other fuels and its environmentally friendly nature with lower carbon emissions. They will also determine what furnace and hot water tank is right for your needs. Learn more about propane tank sizes. -
Oil Tank Removal
Once you have signed off on the estimate, the work begins. Our skilled Partners begin the transition. The removal of the oil, tank, and old equipment is executed with utmost care, ensuring safety and adhering to environmental standards. This sets the stage for your new propane system, which is not only better for your pockets but also more energy efficient. -
Propane Tank Connection
After installing your new furnace or boiler, we set up the propane tank. Our team ensures it's securely connected to your home's propane line. We thoroughly inspect the connection for safety and efficiency. Once everything checks out, your furnace and any connected appliances are all set for use.

THE BENEFITS OF PROPANE VS. OIL
Home heating oil has been a conventional choice for many households. While it does provide heat, it comes with high market price volatility, substantial maintenance requirements, and potential environmental risks.
On the other hand, propane, stored securely in a tank and used when needed, presents a more cost-effective, convenient, and efficient alternative. With a consistent and often lower cost than home heating oil, less demanding maintenance needs, and superior system performance, propane offers more than just heating—it provides peace of mind. And as a bonus, it's also a cleaner-burning fuel that's better for the environment.
