oil to gas conversion for 2 family in Bronx

Looking for a recommendation for a gas to oil conversion.  2 family house in Bronx.  

Also, wondering if it is worth extra cost to install separate boiler/hot water heater for each unit?   Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Michael,

I'm not sure how you currently deal with your heat and hot water, but once you install separate boilers and hot water heaters, the cost is paid directly by the tenants. In my opinion separate units on separate meters is 100% the way to go. The new units will pay for themselves through the money you save not paying the utilities out of pocket. Regarding the conversion, natural gas tends to be much cheaper and there is no oil company to contract with. 

Best of Luck
