Have you considered switching fuels? Mechanical Services is Maine’s leader in oil to gas conversions including natural gas, compressed natural gas and propane.

With over 50 years of design, installation and maintenance experience, we provide safe, cost-effective methods of converting to gas heat for Maine businesses of every size. Our existing customers include hospitals, malls, schools, colleges, industrial complexes and commercial properties.

Why Convert to Gas Heat? Consider the Savings.

  • Natural gas and propane can cost considerably less than fuel oil in some regions.
  • Gas heating equipment requires less maintenance and repairs, reducing yearly upkeep costs.
  • Natural gas and propane can significantly lower SOx and NOx stack emissions compared to wood or oil.
