Con Edison and National Grid are both revamping their policies and procedures with regard to potential #6 heating oil to gas conversions (either firm rate or TC) in an attempt to streamline the process and provide potential customers with quicker responses.
Also, the Morningside Heights area is currently being considered as a prime location for gas conversion projects. With that, Con Edison is looking to "bundle" or "cluster" projects together in an attempt to reduce overall construction costs. Keep an eye out for info on this...I would give them about 3-5 weeks before anything definitive happens, yet at least know that it is being discussed.
Also, if you have had "service layouts" issued from either utility and they are now claiming that they are "inactive" due to lack of action on a buildings part...know that a signed conversion proposal will fast track your case out of the "inactive" doldrums.
Have a great day.
It would depend on what work was done. Changing the fuel source probably had nothing to do with it. Changing or repairing the boiler controls and sensors probably made the difference.

I have a question, which perhaps you, Eric, can answer. Or, anyone else knowledgeable about this? I live on the top (6th) floor. Last winter, while my neighbors on the lower floors had too much heat, apts. on the 6th floor got almost none (it went down as low as 57° inside my apt.) And whatever did come up dissipated almost immediately, due to the windows, etc. Last summer, the building converted from oil to gas. THIS winter, I receive more than enough heat, and it's wonderful. Do you think the conversion is responsible for this? Thanks.
