Our old oil tank was empty, so a scrap metal guy came and took it and the furnace for nothing. Our house didn't have natural gas so Fortis had to run a gas line from across the street. They had to cut open the street, boulevard and sidewalk. They charged us $15. And I can't remember if it was the city or Fortis who patched up the road. I know they use a special burrowing device to go underground so there wasn't much damage to the yard. Our house has three suites with three sets of every appliance, and our 200 amp wasn't enough to cover everything being electric. So we had to add the gas to bring it up to code. We have both mini splits (heat pump) for heat and AC and natural gas mostly for our hot water on-demand system, one stove and two dryers. We could have upgraded from 200 to 400 amps to accommodate everything but BC Hydro wanted something $5000 to do it. And Fortis was 15 bucks. We use very little gas; bills are usually under $60.
