Some of the factors that affect your fuel savings include DFC's capital outlay, yearly fuel consumption, contract length and credit. Customers using DFC's range of services can expect to save between 20%-30% on their current fuel bill. Once the contract expires, you will be left with a dual-fuel system and will be able to take advantage of expected continued gas-oil price disparity.

No, when you sign a contract with DFC we lock in your fuel rate for the length of the contract. So if your contract is for 3 years you will have the same fuel price every month for 3 years.

No two conversion projects are alike but listed below are the most common determinants of the conversion costs:
• Engineering Plans and Project Specifications
• Burner Replacenment
• Boiler Replacement
• Natural Gas Piping
• Chimney Lining
• Tank repair work
• Building proximity to gas line
• Inspection Codes and Compliance
• Con Edison or National Grid Infrastructure
• Landscaping

The actual work done by the vendors should take around 3 months. However due to the demand for gas conversions there is currently a severe backlog for projects commissioned within the 5 boroughs.

There is relatively little impact on day to day management of your building. Compared to other capital improvements your building may undertake (elevators, floors), a conversion project takes place either outside your building, or in areas of the building that people don't generally access.

Interruptible service is transport service that is not guaranteed. Utilities can generally cease service with short notice. The total cost is usually less than firm service. Interruptible service is less reliable by definition. Since firm Service is offered on a guaranteed basis, buyer will generally pay a total charge that is greater than the charge for interruptible service.

If you choose an interruptible plan, then you must keep your oil tank and maintain a 10 day minimum supply of oil. If you choose a firm plan, then your options are either removing the tank, or filling it with material that complies with federal EPA Standards.

There are three main components of natural gas pricing.

1. Interstate Transportation – Transporting natural gas on interstate pipeline from production area to service area
2. Natural Gas Commodity – Actual Fuel costs as listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX)
3. Utility Distribution or Delivery – Delivery of gas from utility company to customers meter.

DFC can educate you on incentives currently available from state entities and local utility efficiency programs.

Dual Fuel files a load letter with the local utility. The utility will evaluate the expected load of the building vs. the current availability of gas in the area.

No, when you sign a contract with DFC all you sign is a UCC-1.
