Heating Oil to Electricity Conversion
Services in the Montreal Area

For a Sustainable Ecological Transition

Our mission is to be a major player in Québec’s energy transition by converting oil heating systems to electricity and consequently reducing our environmental footprint for the benefit of our
future generations.

The heating oil industry has been steadily declining over the past years due to several factors such as unpredictable and fluctuating oil prices, the high costs of maintaining heating oil equipment, restrictive municipal regulations designed to reduce pollution caused by greenhouse gas emissions, financial incentives offered by the CHAUFFEZ VERT program, not to mention consumers’ growing concerns over environmental issues. These factors are the driving force behind the launching of this new venture giving you the option to safely and expertly convert your oil, dual energy and natural gas heating systems to electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the electric conversion of an oil heating or dual energy heating system eligible for grants or subsidies?2019-05-23T09:13:18-05:00

Yes, the electric conversion of a heating oil system and more recently, the conversion of a dual energy heating system are eligible for the following program:

Chauffez Vert
Is it necessary to upgrade the electric entry to convert a heating oil system to electricity?2019-05-23T09:12:51-05:00

If the electric entry capacity is 60 or 100 amps, an upgrade to 200 amps will be required. The large majority of homes equipped with a 200 amp entry have the required capacity to supply the power needed for the new electric heating system. In certain cases, such as homes with more than 4,000 square feet, an upgrade from 200 to 300 or 400 amps may be required.

Does écoconversions convert homes from oil heating systems to electricity with electric baseboards or convectors?2019-05-23T09:12:40-05:00

No, we specialize in the replacement of oil heating and dual energy heating systems with central warm air or hot water (boilers) electric heating systems. However, with the conversion of a central heating system, we can install an electric baseboard or a convector in a specific area of the home if needed.

What are the advantages of heating a home with electricity?2019-05-23T09:12:31-05:00

  • Guaranteed energy efficiency which translates into savings on the cost of heating
  • Optimal environmental footprint by eliminating greenhouse gas emissions
  • Quiet operation of the heating system requiring little maintenance
  • No need to use the chimney due to the removal from the premises of all combustion equipment
  • No risk of an oil leak by removing the oil tank
  • Saves space with the removal of the oil boiler and oil tank, the new electric boilers are wall-mounted installations
  • Financial incentives offered by the Chauffez Vert financial aid program
What is the average lifespan of an electric heating system?2019-05-23T09:12:24-05:00

An electric warm air furnace should last about 25 years. An electric boiler (central hot water system) should last 30 years.

How to choose the right electric heating system to replace my oil heating system?2019-05-23T09:11:33-05:00

During the initial free consultation, écoconversions inspects the premises to determine the right electric capacity required to meet all your heating and cooling requirements by evaluating the following factors:

  1. The BTU capacity of the existing oil heating system
  2. The property’s square footage of indoor liveable space
  3. The insulation factor
  4. Le type of property: (split) bungalow, split, cottage, duplex triplex, etc.
  5. The location of the property: detached, semi-detached, row house, proximity to water and exposure to the elements
  6. The capacity of the electric water heater: In cases where we convert an oil-fired water heater, we take into consideration the number of occupants, the daily routine of hot water usage, the frequency of taking baths vs showers, the use of a spa, etc
  7. A winning formula: common sense
How long does it take to carry out the conversion?2019-05-23T09:11:17-05:00

Normally, the conversion should take one full day. However, in cases where we would need to modify the electric entry, it would take two days to carry out the conversion.
