South Jersey Gas completed a new main in your area. Budd’s is a South Jersey Gas participating contractor — we run the gas line and convert your heating system or water heater to natural gas.
A conversion has two separable parts. You can install the line only, convert one appliance, or plan the complete heating and water-heating change together.
Budd’s runs a permitted gas line from the meter to the home and routes service to the equipment included in the project. Learn more about gas line installation.
An oil-fired furnace or boiler can be replaced with natural-gas equipment sized for the home. Review Budd’s heating system installation approach.
An oil, propane, or electric water heater can be replaced with an eligible gas-fired model. See options for water heater conversion.
Confirmed equipment lines include Trane, Carrier, Ruud, Rheem, and Goodman for forced-air systems; Navien, Weil-McLain, and Noritz for boiler or combi systems; and Bradford White, Ruud, Rheem, and Navien for water heaters.
The decision is usually less about a generic savings claim and more about what changes in the day-to-day operation of your home.
Homeowners often want to stop scheduling deliveries, monitoring tank levels, and planning for eventual oil-tank maintenance or replacement.
If you currently use propane, the new main creates a real opportunity to compare the equipment and project scope before your next replacement.
A furnace, boiler, or water heater nearing replacement can make this a practical moment to consider changing fuel types.
If the SJ Gas mailing or a neighbor was your first notice, Budd’s can explain the utility, permit, line, and equipment steps in plain language.
Convert your home to natural gas and you may qualify for 0% APR on-bill financing and available rebates when you install eligible high-efficiency natural-gas equipment. Eligibility and program requirements apply.
Connecting to the new gas main alone does not automatically qualify a home. Budd’s verifies the proposed furnace, boiler, or eligible water heater and the project costs against current program requirements before making any financing commitment.
SJGas customers can finance qualifying high-efficiency upgrades directly through their gas bill — no separate loan application needed.

Free estimates apply to this installation and replacement work, so the scope can be reviewed before you commit.
Budd’s handles plumbing gas-line work plus furnace, boiler, and water-heater installation.
Budd’s can review qualifying equipment and help homeowners understand how the current utility program applies to their project.
Either. Budd’s handles line-only hookups and full heating/water-heater conversions — the scope is up to you.
It depends on the distance from the street main to your home and whether you’re converting the heating system, the water heater, or both. Ask for a free estimate specific to your home.
Timeline depends on scope. Most gas line work requires a permit and inspection in New Jersey, which affects scheduling on top of the install itself.
Many homeowners convert to stop dealing with oil deliveries and tank maintenance, and financing through South Jersey Gas can make the upfront cost more manageable — talk to us about your specific setup rather than relying on a generic answer.
Convert your home to natural gas and you may qualify for 0% APR on-bill financing and available rebates when you install eligible high-efficiency natural-gas equipment — repaid directly on the gas bill, up to 7 years standard repayment (10 years if income-qualified), no separate loan application. Connecting to the new gas main alone doesn’t automatically qualify a home; eligibility depends on the equipment installed, and Budd’s verifies your specific project against the program’s requirements. Eligibility and program requirements apply — see /financing-rebates for full detail.
