Oil-to-Electric Conversion FAQs

    You’ll eliminate messy tanks and fuel deliveries, reduce your home’s carbon footprint, and often lower your heating bills. Electric systems also give you more flexibility for rebates and renewable energy integration.

    Not usually. If you already have ductwork or hydronic heating, the transition is straightforward. For homes without ducts, we install ductless mini-splits that don’t require major construction.

  • What rebates are available?

    Efficiency Nova Scotia offers rebates of up to several thousand dollars for oil-to-electric conversions. Depending on the system you choose, manufacturer rebates may also apply. Our team will help you access every incentive you qualify for.

    Your electrical usage will increase, but you’ll no longer be paying for oil. In most cases, the overall monthly cost is lower with an electric system—especially if you install a high-efficiency heat pump.
