Natural Gas is a clean, affordable and domestic natural resource. Instead of paying in advance to keep your oil tank filled, with Natural Gas you pay for what you use after you use it. Other benefits include lower energy bills and less work (no oil deliveries to schedule, charcoal to gather, wood to chop). On average, customers who switch to Natural Gas heat from oil or electricity save $1,000 or more per year. Save another $300 or more a year when you convert your water heater from electric to Natural Gas.
How long will it take to get a Natural Gas service installed?
In general, it takes four to six weeks from the time you request Natural Gas service until the installation is completed.
How much does installation cost? Is there any other amount I am responsible for paying?
Your UGI Conversion Expert can provide the cost details for installation of the gas service line and any other fees.
Will I need to get permits prior to the work being done on my property?
UGI will secure all required street rights of way and permits; your HVAC contractor will obtain permits for work done inside of your home.
Will UGI dig up my yard or driveway to install the natural gas lines? If so, am I responsible for paying for any damage to my lawn or driveway?

UGI crews will need to dig a trench to install gas facilities. UGI crews make every effort to minimize the disruption on how the trenching may impact your property. Your UGI Conversion Expert can review, in detail, where the natural gas facilities will be placed, and what restoration steps will be taken.
I have propane equipment that is not that old. Can I convert it to Natural Gas?
Your UGI Conversion Expert will review your propane equipment and provide you with information about whether the equipment can be converted. Your contractor will provide information about costs associated with the conversion.
