I have an oil furnace plus I started noticing that my on place oil tank was leaking.
For awhile it was a tiny leak that I would just put towels down plus immediately mop up. When I left on a trip plus came back a week later, it was a immense mess. I ended up needing to substitute my carpet due to the oil leakable. I also figured leaking oil is never a nice thing to have in a home. I had to call for a Terrell, TX furnace maintenance to see if they could assess the damage. So what I had was corrosion in the oil tank. The entire tank needed to be substituted. I could have paid for the maintenance plus been back in business. I saw an choice for improvement. I decided that rather than pay for the maintenance I would do an oil to gas conversion instead. My Terrell furnace supplier does that sort of stuff all the time. Changing from oil to gas was quite simple. The tank was removed plus gas hookups plus a flue system were installed. Then I got ample square footage back, not dependent on oil deliveries, plus a more reliable heating device! Having a gas furnace is just so much better in my opinion… Now I am on it to not experience any furnace repairs though. I don’t want to potentially have issues with my brand new furnace that will reduce the lifespan of it. My goal is to keep this boiler operating for 20 years. Hopefully I can treat it just right.
