This calculator allows you to estimate the potential cost savings you could achieve by converting from oil-based heating to natural gas.
How to Use The Oil to Gas Conversion Cost Calculator:
- Oil Consumption (Gallons): Enter the total amount of oil you currently consume in gallons for heating.
- Current Oil Price per Gallon ($): Input the current price per gallon of oil in your area.
- Natural Gas Price per Therm ($): Enter the price per therm of natural gas in your region.
After providing these details, simply click the “Calculate” button to see the results.
Calculation:
The calculator uses a standard conversion factor to estimate the efficiency of natural gas compared to oil. It assumes that natural gas is approximately 75% more efficient than oil in providing the same heating output. Based on this conversion factor, the calculator computes the following:
- Oil Total Cost: The total cost of oil consumption based on the entered oil amount and cost per gallon.
- Gas Therms: The equivalent amount of natural gas in therms, based on the oil consumption and the efficiency factor.
- Gas Total Cost: The total cost of natural gas consumption based on the entered gas price per therm.
