Oil to Gas Conversion and Tank Removal in Toronto
Last month, we received a call from an East York homeowner who was exhausted by rising oil heating costs and delivery concerns during Toronto's harsh winters. After observing her neighbor's successful conversion and subsequent hundreds of dollars in annual savings, she decided to make the switch to natural gas.
This scenario reflects the experience of thousands of GTA homeowners who are discovering that natural gas conversion dramatically reduces heating costs while providing superior reliability during severe weather conditions.
At Laird & Son, we have facilitated oil and electric to natural gas conversions for Toronto families for over seventy five years. Our comprehensive service includes initial assessment, complete equipment removal, and new system installation with transparent pricing and thorough cleanup.
We convert all heating configurations: oil furnaces, oil boilers, electric furnaces, electric boilers. The process is more straightforward than most homeowners anticipate, with savings beginning immediately.

Our Streamlined Oil to Gas Conversion Process
All conversions begin with certified technicians analyzing the entire HVAC system. We measure rooms, assess insulation effectiveness, and analyze windows, doors, and construction details. This systematic approach guarantees proper sizing instead of assumptions. Homeowners often underestimate sizing complexity - gas systems need different considerations than previous heating equipment.
We develop optimal pathways for gas line installation from municipal infrastructure to your property, prioritizing minimal disruption to landscaping while ensuring safety compliance. Contrary to common misconceptions, Enbridge does not determine meter placement unilaterally. We collaborate with homeowners to identify locations balancing aesthetics with safety requirements.
Based on our assessment, we recommend specific furnace or boiler options aligned with your property requirements and budget. Our consultation includes comprehensive efficiency rating explanations, enabling informed decisions about equipment investments. Our quotations encompass all components: new units, installation, existing equipment removal, and site cleanup, eliminating unexpected charges.
Gas Service Installation and Enbridge Coordination
Upon project approval, we manage all documentation and utility coordination required for natural gas service establishment.
We submit gas service applications to Enbridge through their online portal, providing comprehensive property information and meter location specifications. This eliminates administrative burden on homeowners throughout the application process.
Gas service/meter installation has changed over the years . Enbridge now contacts property owners directly with installation details after an application is submitted. Once approved, Enbridge coordinates the work and manages all necessary permits and inspections from start to finish.
Enbridge will acquire necessary permits, conduct property inspections, and install gas lines from the street. The meter will be installed and they will perform comprehensive safety testing. Property owners need not participate directly in these phases.
Complete Installation and Equipment Removal
Following Enbridge service completion, our team finalizes the conversion process.
Our TSSA-approved contractors completely remove existing oil tanks, furnaces, or boilers, including proper disposal of remaining oil products using specialized licensed vehicles. We protect flooring with drop cloths and conduct thorough cleanup, leaving no debris or abandoned equipment.
Our certified technicians install new gas systems according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. This includes proper component connections, comprehensive operational testing, and performance verification.
Based on extensive installation experience, we have learned that meticulous attention during connection phases is absolutely critical. Small oversights in gas line connections or electrical integration can create inefficiencies or safety concerns that may not appear until months later. Our methodical testing approach prevents numerous potential issues.
We coordinate mandatory Enbridge final inspections to verify safety standard compliance and official service approval. Our internal testing protocols exceed minimum requirements before project completion, ensuring reliable performance and proper safety system operation.
Safety remains paramount in residential natural gas installations. At Laird & Son, we approach every project with the same care applied to our own family residences.
Our organization maintains a perfect safety record across seventy five years of Toronto gas installations, with zero incidents causing personal injury or property damage. This achievement results from consistent training adherence, meticulous work standards, and unwavering quality commitment.
