There are many older homes in Hudson Valley that have oil burning furnaces, boilers, and fireplaces. Although most of us live north of New York City, air pollution is still a problem to be concerned with. Equally, high heating bills are for any New York state resident.

You can find reports that talk about the air pollution in New York City causing over 5% of deaths. But did you know that one of the main pollutants that causes these deaths comes from the No. 6 or No. 4 heating oils still burning in the city?

Almost 9,000 buildings in Upper Manhattan alone are still burning this type of oil. They are literally causing more than 85% of the city pollution.

This is why in 2011 the city began phasing out the lower grade heating oils in every building. By 2030, even No. 4 oil will be gone. Many are  converting from oil to natural gas  now.

New York City has a rich history. It’s wonderfully historic. However, it’s becoming more and more important as the population becomes denser to control air pollution.

Converting from oil to natural gas in Hudson Valley will help keep the environment healthy for all who live in the state. It also a more efficient way to heat our homes.

A local  Hudson Valley plumbing contractor  who is licensed to do the work should do the  oil to natural gas conversion. The aspects of the project depend on several factors. This includes the municipalities involved which issue permits, the equipment and systems that currently exist, and what the homeowner’s needs are.
