Oil to Gas Conversions
Ready to upgrade from oil to natural gas?
Metropolitan Heat & Power has helped NYC property owners switch to cleaner, more efficient heating systems for decades.
Why choose us?
- We coordinate with National Grid and Con Edison
- Handle all utility paperwork and approvals
- Guide you from planning to DOB inspections and city sign-off
Load Letter Support
We provide and submit the required load letter to the utility company—a technical summary showing your building’s total gas demand after conversion. This document is essential to confirm whether your existing gas service is properly sized for the new equipment and will provide enough pressure and supply.
If your current gas service isn’t sufficient, we work with the utility to plan and install a new, larger line—so you get reliable, safe heat.
