oil to gas
Conversions
Thinking of converting from oil to gas heating? Call Mattco Plumbing and Heating with any service requests or questions today! Here are some of the benefits of converting from oil to gas:
- Eliminate oil fumes in your home
- Convenient, dependable delivery
- Save money!
The cost to install a natural gas heating system will pay for itself! Natural gas, which costs significantly less than oil, can fuel most of your appliances such as your stove, oven, fireplace, water heater, clothes dryer, and much more! Still, there are reasons other than money to make the switch. Gas has lower carbon emissions than oil, so it’s better for the environment. Plus, once you have a gas line, you can get that commercial-style, six-burner stove you’ve always wanted.

Hydronic heating Systems
Interested in hydronic heating for your home? All hydronic heating systems have one thing in common: hot water. Hydronic heating systems provide warmth by pumping hot water to radiators, under-floor tubing, or heat exchangers. Some benefits of a hydronic heating system are:
- Less flowing air which is better for people with allergies
- Heating from the floor up provides comfort
- Increased economical efficiency
If you’re looking to install or repair any Hydronic heating system, Mattco Plumbing and Heating is here to help!

Gas Lines
Have a gas leak in your home? Or has the gas to your home or building been off for an extended period of time? No worries, Mattco plumbing and heating can repair all gas piping indoor and outdoor as well as replace all gas piping. We can even go throughout your home and check for all your gas valves to be sure they are up to code and replace any that could cause future issues.
Mattco can perform a gas leak test to determine if your gas system has a leak. We install a pressure gauge assembly on the gas riser at the meter and pump air into the system. We watch the gauge meter to see if the gauge hand is moving or not. If natural gas pipes become damaged, leaking gas could cause an explosion hazard. Some signs of a gas leak include:
- You smell a “rotten egg” odor outside.
- You hear a hissing sound coming from the ground.
- You see dirt blowing from a hole in the ground.
- You see water bubbling in a puddle or around a valve box.
- You see a ring or circle of dead grass or vegetation in a lawn area.
More often than not, gas leak repairs require a permit from your city’s municipality. Once the permit is obtained, we can begin to repair the gas leak. Leaks within a home can require that the pipe is taken apart and reconnected to fix the leak. Above and outside gas leaks can require the same treatment, but can also require the entire underground line be replaced depending on the severity of the leak and the state of your pipes.
Solutions for
Water Heaters
If your current water heater is more than 8 years old or has begun to leak and experience other functionality issues, it may be time to consider a replacement. Allow us to inspect for leaks, faulty thermometers, crossed connections, and more to determine if a replacement is in order!
- A slow leak can soak into the particle board subflooring, causing it to decay.
- This dripping water can then spread into your carpeting and can cause mildew and stains in your walls.
