What You Can Do

If You Are a Building Owner or Manager

1. Learn about conversion options

There are a number of good options for converting from heavy oil to one of the cleanest fuels.  Learn more about these options and steps to conversion in the How to Convert section.

2. Contact NYC Clean Heat

We can guide your building through the conversion process and assist with evaluating conversion options, coordinating with utilities and fuel providers, and assembling financing.  Find out more in the Resources section.

If You Are a Resident

1. Find out if your building uses heavy oil

Use our Spot the Soot tool to see if you live or work in a building that uses No. 6 or No. 4 oil.

2. Contact your building’s leadership

If your building uses heavy oil, ask your building owner, manager or board about their plans for converting to a cleaner fuel.
