The pace of homes being converted from heating oil to pipeline gas slowed dramatically, with 41% of dealers reporting losing customers to gas conversion, compared to 74% losing customers to gas in 2012.
-
More dealers are focusing on providing service in addition to product delivery, with respondents reporting that an average of 48% of customers were on paid service contracts during the year.
