If your oil furnace is aging, underperforming, or costing more than it should… don’t wait for a breakdown. Many homeowners are switching to propane for better efficiency, lower costs, and a cleaner, more reliable heating solution. But when is the right time to make that move?
If you’re experiencing any of the following signs, now may be the perfect time to replace your oil furnace with a propane system—and Tankfarm makes the transition easy and affordable.
1. Your Oil Furnace is Over 15 Years Old
Most oil furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. If yours is approaching or past that mark, it’s time to consider an upgrade. New propane systems can operate at up to 98% efficiency, drastically reducing energy waste — and your heating bills.
2. You’re Facing Costly Repairs or Frequent Maintenance
If your furnace needs regular repairs, or you're spending more time scheduling service calls than enjoying a warm home, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. Propane systems are clean-burning and require less maintenance, meaning fewer breakdowns and longer equipment life.
3. Your Heating Costs Are Rising
Oil prices can be unpredictable—and often expensive. Propane typically costs 20–40% less than oil. Tankfarm customers save even more, paying $0.50–$1.00 less per gallon than with traditional propane suppliers. We also offer even-payment plans, so your heating costs are predictable all year long.
4. You're Upgrading Other Parts of Your Home
If you're renovating your home or upgrading appliances, it’s a smart time to evaluate your heating system. Propane is a versatile energy source that can also power your water heater, stove, dryer, and generator — adding efficiency across the board.
5. You’re Looking for a Cleaner, Greener Option
Oil furnaces produce soot and high emissions. Propane is cleaner, producing fewer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit of energy. This means that using propane can help reduce overall carbon emissions, contributing to efforts to combat climate change.
