Our building in located in Queens and is looking to Convert from Oil to Gas only or dual-fuel burner boiler. We are in talks with National Grid and received confirmation that they will be able to supply Gas to our building.
I wanted to get some advice from people that have taken on a project like this.
What engineer companies would you recommend? (Do we definetly need one?)
- Will they handle the whole process for us (ex: Reviewing current setup, heat problems, Heat usage/loss, recommendation on Boiler brand, and managing the contractors)?
What is the best boiler options? - One Boiler. Two boilers (1 for Hot water, 1 for Heat)
What are the top gas only and dual-fuel burner boilers in the market?
What loans, rebates, tax credits can we qualify for if we take on this project?
How long does it normaly take to install a new boiler (from intial planning to completion)?
Any other tips/guidelines?
Notes about building:
- 100 Apartments
- We have an old boiler which has issues during the year (leaks, etc).
- We need to get a new Boiler Tank if we decide to stay with using Oil.
- The building has very little funds to take on a big project like this.
Thanks.
Thanks for all the great information guys.
I am working with Frank. He is definetly awesome to work with and knows what he is doing. We can get a Firm rate and just have to sign the deal now.
Our main goal now is to get some rebates/incentives to do this conversion.
Eric, I'll touch base with you next week.
Regards,
Sanjeev.

You should contact the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA). Because your building has 100 units, they will provide about $5,000 toward a total energy use analysis of your building by an outside approved and qualified energy consultant from their list who will create an Energy Reduction Plan for your building. If your Energy Reduction Plan reduces energy consumption by 15% NYSERDA will provide some significant funding toward completing the project. Go to www.NYSERDA.org/mulifamily or call 212-971-5342. Also, try contacting the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) at EDF.org (212-616-1337) and try to speak with Isabelle Silvermen, who is a wealth of information.
