Good point on the HVAC, it definitely was always smoky in there. To the point that the baked goods tended to take on the smoke flavor.

Still tasted good though

Also, when you guys opened Planet Fitness was there already. But nothing else though… except for Fountain Spa 😂

I second the other comments about looking into an air source heat pump instead of installing a whole new gas fired heating system—there are lots of incentives out there; however, nobody has mentioned a gas conversion burner. It is the perfect solution since it seems you’re just looking to switch fuel types.

11 years ago, we converted our steam boilers to natural gas. I bought these Wayne conversion burners from Johnstone Supply on Niantic Ave. and paid a heating contractor to install it. We pulled permits and the all in cost was about $1000/boiler. WAY CHEAPER than complete replacement!

Just a quick note: yes, you say the system can run off either fuel, but just make sure there isn’t some conversion that is necessary first.

Because propane operates at much higher pressure than natural gas, it uses smaller orifices. Using natural gas with propane orifices results in a weak/inoperable system, using propane with natural gas orifices can result in explosion.
