Is Oil Heat Worth It
in New Jersey?

Short answer: for most South Jersey homeowners in 2025, no. Here is the full breakdown so you can decide for yourself.

Oil vs. Natural Gas — The Real Numbers

✕ Oil Heat in NJ

  • $2,000–$3,500/year average oil bill
  • Prices spike unpredictably
  • Delivery scheduling required
  • Risk of running out mid-winter
  • 275-gallon tank in basement
  • No rebates available
  • Higher carbon emissions

✓ Natural Gas in NJ

  • $1,200–$2,000/year average gas bill
  • Regulated, stable rates
  • Always on - no deliveries
  • Never runs out
  • No tank taking up space
  • SJG, PSE&G & federal rebates
  • ~30% lower carbon emissions

When Does Oil Heat Make Sense?

Oil heat makes sense in one specific situation: if natural gas is not available at your address and a propane conversion is impractical. In most of South Jersey however, South Jersey Gas or PSE&G serves the majority of addresses. We verify availability free at your estimate.

Otherwise, in 2025, the math strongly favors converting to gas. The $500–$1,000/year in savings plus rebates mean most conversions pay for themselves within 10–15 years even without financing — and far sooner with 0% financing where monthly payments are often less than current oil bills.
