If the home has a gas main available on the street and the boiler is more than 25 years old, an oil-to-gas conversion is almost always worth doing when the boiler is already due for replacement. You eliminate the oil tank (with its maintenance and liability concerns), reduce fuel costs, and get a modern high-efficiency boiler with a 25–30 year lifespan. The conversion involves replacing the boiler and burner, bringing a gas line to the mechanical room, and decommissioning the oil tank. We handle the full scope and coordinate the utility service connection.
A 1920s Bronxville home warrants a dedicated plumbing and heating inspection covering: supply pipe material and pressure (galvanized from this era is 100 years old and very likely narrowed), the heating system (steam or early hot-water heat from this era is common, and the boiler age is the key variable), and a camera inspection of the drain system. General home inspectors frequently miss the specific failure modes of century-old steam systems and galvanized supply. A pre-purchase mechanical inspection gives you the information you need to negotiate repairs or price in system upgrades before closing.
