not really an easy answer on how much you will save, you have to do the math. A lot of times people just save money because they are going to more efficient boilers, or their old systems were oversized (lots of oil boilers installed are much bigger than required for some reason).

Call around and get a quote for the conversion costs. When I was looking it was anywhere from $5k-$10k depending on the installer. RIEnergy has some rebates available for some equipment- https://www.rienergy.com/RI-Home/Energy-Saving-Programs/rebate-programs

Cost per BTU is significantly lower for natural gas than oil or propane. Even before adjusting for system sizing, efficiency, etc… you are paying about half as much per unit of energy. Anything that further improves efficiency in energy conversion to heat or distribution of that heat is just gravy.

It really isn't anymore. It used to be significantly lower but ya know, Ukraine.
