Please be advised: If you are contemplating making the switch from #6 heating oil to natural gas; either as your primary fuel or as a backup to #2 oil and your building is in Con Edison territory you will wait a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks for a response to your load request submission. At this point, if they confirm the availability of sufficient gas and pressure, and can bring it your building at no charge, this conversion project will not get underway at the earliest until late October.

Here's what you need to do:
1) get the load request in asap.
2) get 3 to 5 gas conversion proposals NOW so that when Con Ed. does render a decision you are all set to take action...as opposed to first starting the proposal process.
3) Work with a company that is an approved market partner in Con Edison's Multifamily energy programs...it is not required, yet it gives you peace of mind that the companies financials, licenses and professional history has been screened and vetted by a 3rd party.
4) Don't worry....gas conversion projects can be executed in the winter. Service will be interrupted for about 3 hours when the transition is formalized.

Do what you can now in anticipation of Con Ed. approving your project...even if it takes them until October.
