Take the leap and change your oil heating system for an electric one with Tran Climatisation!

As of December 31, 2021, it is now forbidden to install an oil furnace in new homes. What’s more, as of December 31, 2023, you can’t replace your oil-fired heating system with a furnace of the same type. 

With the price of heating oil constantly on the rise, take the opportunity to ditch your oil heating system for a more efficient and economical electric heater! Tran Climatisation can convert your oil-fired heating system to an electric furnace.

What are the benefits of switching from oil heating to electric heating?

For many years, oil was used to heat our homes. However, oil releases significant quantities of carbon dioxide (up to four tons a year).

Fortunately, the latest innovations in home heating can improve our quality of life, while being better for the environment.

• Ecological: Choosing electricity over oil is an eco-responsible gesture. The production, transportation and use of heating oil are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Today, electricity, a clean energy, is at your fingertips.
• Safe: Electricity means improved safety. Unlike oil, it eliminates the risk of gas leaks or carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover, the absence of fuel and chimneys considerably reduces the risk of fire.
• Easy to use: Since all homes are connected to electricity, this heating method is extremely convenient. You won’t need to keep an eye on your fuel tank. An electric system is always ready to go, regardless of the season.
• Cost-effective: Heating with electricity is often more economical than oil. Without the costs associated with filling the tank and sometimes costly maintenance, electricity is a wise choice. What’s more, electric systems generally last longer than their oil-fired counterparts. (The average life of an oil furnace is 15 years, while an electric furnace can last up to 30 years).
• Compliance: Government and local regulations are evolving regarding the use of fuel oil. As of December 31, 2023, it will be forbidden to install or replace an oil-fired heating system with one that runs on fossil fuels in existing buildings. Repairs to furnaces over 20 years old and water heaters over 10 years old will also be prohibited. 

Since the conversion service can be costly, you can subscribe to the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program. Our advisors will be happy to help you with your grant application.
