Customers who convert from oil to natural gas can already receive a FREE boiler from KeySpan Energy Delivery. Using KeySpan's Online Price Quote service, they can also get the best possible price on the installation of a new heating unit. To do so, they fill out a questionnaire that provides the basic information that a contractor needs to make an estimate for a conversion or installation of a gas heating unit. Based on a customer's ZIP code, the program allows a customer to choose up to four local contractors at a time to bid on a job request. Contractors make their estimates within three business days.
Customers can access a descriptive profile of each contractor.
The program is available to energy customers in New York City and Long Island. Forty-seven contractors are already participating in the program, and more are coming on line all the time. The program will be expanded into the New England area served by KeySpan Energy Delivery later this year. KeySpan is also the largest investor-owned electric generator in New York State and operates Long Island's electric system under contract with the Long Island Power Authority for its 1.1 million customers. With headquarters in Brooklyn, Boston and Long Island, KeySpan also manages a portfolio of service companies.
