Led by Paul and John Salib, Castellan Real Estate Partners identifies and purchases properties throughout New York City with potential for enhanced value. Many of these properties may have been neglected by previous owners, and Castellan works to renovate them through green technology and energy-efficient solutions. One of the most effective of these improvements is converting the heating system to natural gas.
Many older homes and apartment buildings in the United States still use expensive heating oil for their furnaces. In recent years, technological developments in the natural gas industry have led to much lower costs, making natural gas a more popular choice for heating. Though converting to a gas furnace can be a not inconsiderable upfront cost, the benefits in the long run make the conversion worth it for most homeowners. Following are a few of those benefits:
Cost. The most obvious benefit of converting to natural gas is the lower cost. Natural gas is cheaper than ever, making it an easy choice over the more expensive heating oil, propane, or electricity options.
Accessible. While heating oil and propane need to be delivered by special trucks each season, natural gas can be delivered through permanent underground piping. This means never running out of heating fuel when you need it.
Clean. Compared with other types of fossil fuels, natural gas is a clean-burning fuel with far fewer emissions of the type that drive climate change.
Safe. Older oil furnaces require much more maintenance than natural gas furnaces. Additionally, because gas is delivered through safe and reliable pipes, you won’t have to deal with potential oil spills.
