We Are Open - New Coronavirus Safety Procedure
Natural gas is abundant, affordable, and burns clean, making it an ideal fuel for heating systems and many appliances, including stoves, ovens, barbecue grills, and more. At Harris Plumbing, Heating, Air, & Electric, our natural gas plumbers can install the infrastructure required to support these systems and more. We adhere to strict safety protocols and maintain the advanced expertise that ensures code compliance and quality.
5 Reasons To Consider Switching to Natural Gas
There are plenty of reasons that our customers make the switch from an oil furnace or electric furnace to natural gas. Some of the most notable include:
- Saves money: Natural gas furnaces can reduce your heating costs by 50% to 70%. The higher the efficiency of the new furnace, the greater the monthly savings.
- Improved efficiency: These furnaces offer efficiency ratings of up to 98%, which is far higher than oil or electric systems.
- Consistent comfort: They deliver more consistent comfort and will heat your home faster and more efficiently.
- Reliability: These systems don’t require fuel storage or power from the electrical grid. This means you won’t have to worry about power outages or running out of fuel to keep your system operational.
- Added value: Natural gas furnaces are more appealing to prospective homebuyers. This can make your home more valuable should you decide to put it on the market.

The Gas Conversion Process
Switching to natural gas is a fast and effective way to cut your monthly heating bills. Whether you’re switching from oil or an electric furnace, our team has the expertise and experience to effectively perform the conversion. The first step is to verify the availability of natural gas. While common and plentiful, it’s not available in all communities.
When possible, the next step is to schedule an estimate with our team. We’ll assess your needs and the requirements for converting the system and provide a detailed estimate and timeline for the work required. This includes any electrical requirements that may entail switching the breaker from 220 to 120.
After the Consultation
During the installation of your new natural gas furnace, we’ll make sure the gas line is properly installed and connected to the meter. Next, we’ll remove your existing system and connect it to the ductwork and electrical system in your home. We’ll then make sure the flue, vents, wiring, and other connections are properly secured before testing the system for leaks. Finally, we’ll calibrate the system to deliver energy-efficient operation and show you how to properly maintain your new natural gas furnace.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s not extremely difficult, but it does require considerable expertise that the average homeowner doesn’t have. More importantly, most municipalities require that any installation be performed by a licensed and insured professional.
With proper care and maintenance, you can expect to enjoy 15 to 20 years of reliable operation from a natural gas furnace. However, as with all HVAC systems, you’re likely to notice decreased energy efficiency, reliability, and performance as the unit nears the end of its potential lifespan.
