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 and dual energy heating systems to electricity.

Is it necessary to upgrade the electric entry to convert a heating oil system to electricity?admin2019-05-23T09:12:51-05:00

Is it necessary to upgrade the electric entry to convert a heating oil system to electricity?

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?admin2019-05-23T09:12:40-05:00

Does écoconversions convert homes from oil heating systems to electricity with electric baseboards or convectors?

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.

How to choose the right electric heating system to replace my oil heating system?admin2019-05-23T09:11:33-05:00

How to choose the right electric heating system to replace my oil heating system?

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:

The BTU capacity of the existing oil heating system
The property’s square footage of indoor liveable space
The insulation factor
Le type of property: (split) bungalow, split, cottage, duplex triplex, etc.
The location of the property: detached, semi-detached, row house, proximity to water and exposure to the elements
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
A winning formula: common sense

How long does it take to carry out the conversion?admin2019-05-23T09:11:17-05:00

How long does it take to carry out the conversion?

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.
