When it comes to staying warm this winter, we know that cost and convenience play a major role in how you choose to heat your Pennsylvania home. If you use heating oil or propane, you probably have already heard all about the high-value perks that automatic delivery brings to the table. But do you really know the most important benefits?

1. How does it work?

Automatic delivery is available at no additional cost to W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. heating oil and propane customers. Instead of placing your fuel orders by telephone or online, we will create a custom delivery schedule based on weather, home size, number of residents, and energy preferences to predict when to make your next delivery.

2. Why should I sign up?

Selecting the right fueling option for your home and budget is no easy task. But, when you weigh the benefits of automatic delivery against will call delivery, the answer is obvious!

THE BENEFITS

Will Call

• Order fuel as needed based on daily rates

Automatic Delivery

• Total convenience
• More efficient fill-ups
• Greater cost savings
• Less chance of running out of fuel
• Custom delivery schedule

3. What else do I need to know?

The results are in: automatic delivery is the easiest way to stay warm. Heating oil and propane customers that enroll enjoy complete convenience, save money, and gain greater peace of mind. It is important to remember that automatic delivery customers are still responsible for checking tank gauges every so often. When our team monitors your fuel usage the likelihood of a no-fuel emergency is significantly lower, but not completely impossible. Inform W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. of any changes that might affect fuel usage, such as an increase in household size, property alterations, or appliance additions. Running out of fuel can cause unnecessary risk to your home and damage to your equipment.

During the winter months we count on our heating equipment to keep our homes warm, but did you know that your boiler or furnace also affects your household spending and family’s safety? Lower heating costs, improved efficiency, and greater value are just a few of the benefits high-efficiency heating systems bring to the table. Over time, your existing heating equipment will begin to exhibit symptoms that will indicate the need for a replacement.

What to Watch For

How can you tell when it is officially time to invest in new equipment? Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs that it is time to replace your heating system:

• Strange Noises or Smells
  Take note of any out-of-the-ordinary humming, clunking, or banging. Abnormal odor can also be a red flag.
• Uneven Heating
  Your heating system’s performance could be going downhill if your thermostat reads a typical temperature but heat isn’t reaching all areas of your home equally.
• Dusty or Dry Air
  Excess amounts of dust or drastic changes in air humidity can be a sign of an ineffective heating system.
• Equipment Age
  If your boiler or furnace is 15 years or older, you should seriously consider an upgrade. Not sure how old your equipment is? Check the serial number, an installation date sticker, or call the manufacturer.

The Benefits of an Upgrade

As your heating system ages, its efficiency and performance will decline. Performance decrease can show itself in your energy bills and repair service visits. If these start to increase in frequency, it is probably time to invest in a high-efficiency model so that you can stop spending money maintaining an inefficient unit.

• Save money—up to 40% annually!
• Better comfort
• Improved air quality
• Extended lifespan
• Increased resale value

PA homeowners that stay comfortable with propane choose this energy option for its longstanding history of efficiency, affordability, and safety. You can count on propane to fuel your heating system, power your stove top, and so much more. To keep your home safe from season to season, it is critical that you follow these industry-approved safety tips.

Preventative Propane Safety

Understand Your Tank

It is very important to familiarize yourself with the general functions of your propane tank. Know how to read your tank gauge and turn off your gas supply. Regularly monitoring your propane tank levels will help avoid the risk of running out of fuel, which can cause costly damage and serious safety hazards.

Educate Your Family

Make sure all members of your household understand propane safety precautions. This includes proper measures for storage, like keeping flammable items clear from your heating system, and proper handling of propane cylinders, like your grill tank. Never store propane cylinders inside any enclosed building. Establish a family evacuation plan with clear instructions and a meeting point to keep everyone safe in the event of a leak.

Care of Your Appliances

Schedule regular maintenance from W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. for your heating system and propane-powered appliances. This will promote safe, unobstructed operation and improve fuel efficiency. Keep an eye on the flame in your gas-range stove. If it burns yellow instead of blue, that can indicate an issue with your burner inlet.

What to do if you smell propane:

Propane is naturally colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. A scent is added to help detect if a leak has occurred. If you smell propane:

1. Extinguish any open flames. Do not turn any devices on or off. This includes light switches, phones, computers, flashlights, or appliances.
2. Alert all inhabitants and inform them to leave the home or commercial building immediately.
3. Do not try to find the source of the leak.
4. Be prepared to identify your location and whether the smell is inside or outside of the building.
5. Call your local propane provider from the closest building landline or from your cellphone away from the leak site. If you cannot get in touch with an W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. representative, call 911 or your local fire department immediately.
6. Do not return to the building until a qualified technician says it is safe to do so.

If you have any additional questions about propane safety or need to schedule your annual tune-up, contact the pros at W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. today!

CHOOSE A FUEL PROVIDER YOU CAN COUNT ON

When it comes to selecting an energy supplier, it’s always important to do your research. As you compare companies in your area, it may seem appealing to opt for a discount provider. Before you commit based on reduced delivery prices, take a step back and weigh your options.

Discount providers actually offer customers little to no added benefits, aside from slightly reduced pricing. On the other hand, full-service suppliers are prepared to meet customer priorities like reliability, safety, convenience, and fair prices to
boot.

Here are some of the valuable perks a full-service supplier can offer:

Autumn has arrived! While we enjoyed September’s showing of last-minute summer weather, we know that winter will be here soon enough. Get your home ready for winter now to stay comfortable and save money when temperatures really start to drop.

Ways to Save This Season

1. Open the Curtains

Open your south-facing curtains during daylight hours. The sunlight will naturally raise indoor temperatures. After sunset, don’t forget to close the curtains to keep out cold evening air!

2. Schedule Annual Maintenance

An annual tune-up from an W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. heating specialist will help your equipment run smoothly all season. When your boiler or furnace is properly serviced, it can improve operating efficiency, reduce fuel usage, lower energy bills, and even lessen the likelihood of breakdowns!

3. Find and Seal Drafts

Come December, heat is precious. Don’t let air leaks waste it! Have caulk or weatherstripping added to seal leaks around doors and windows.

4. Think about an Upgrade

If your boiler or furnace is 15 years or older, you can reduce your energy bills by switching to a new high-efficiency model. High-efficiency equipment operates more efficiently to lower heating costs and eliminate the issue of costly repairs or replacements for an older system.

5. Install a Programmable Thermostat

Programmable thermostats are easy to install, easy to use, and can significantly cut your energy costs. In a few clicks, you can program your thermostat to automatically lower the temperature when you are out of the house or asleep.

6. Get Protected

Signing up for a Heating System Maintenance Plan is the best way to promote safe system operation and save money in the future. Service plans are available for heating oil, natural gas, and propane equipment with premium coverage benefits like 24/7 priority service, parts discounts, annual tune-ups, and more.

Summer is in full swing here in Pennsylvania! Homeowners across the state are fueling up their grills for Fourth of July Weekend, but did you know that propane powers a wide range of appliances that can upgrade your outdoor living space? Make your backyard the place to be this summer with amenities fueled by propane.

Customers choose propane for its year-round versatility. When warm weather arrives, you can count on this multi-use fuel to power home comfort needs without breaking the bank. Take advantage of the perks of propane this summer with outdoor living appliances like:

Gas Grills

A summer staple, gas grills are an affordable way to dine outdoors. Aside from the obvious appeal of delicious barbecued food, grilling also helps lower indoor energy bills.

Patio Space Heaters

Here in the Northeast, even peak summer days can turn into cool evenings. Don’t let a chilly breeze stop your outdoor fun. Patio space heaters are a cost-effective way to keep your outdoor living space comfortable, even in the early spring or fall.

Fire Pits

Everyone loves a marshmallow roast! Fire pits are another great way to warm up your space and add an extra element for entertaining. With a propane-powered fire pit, you can enjoy the perks of a campfire safely right in your neighborhood.

Outdoor Kitchens

Take your home cooking to the next level with an outdoor kitchen. Preparing family meals outdoors can significantly reduce your seasonal energy use. Instead of heating up your house with the oven or stove (and causing your A/C to work overtime), an outdoor kitchen offers the same advantages of a gas grill with a wider range of cooking options.

Pool Heaters

Make the most of your pool this season. With a propane-fired heater, you can keep waters at the perfect temperature. Not only will a propane pool heater improve water temps—a high-efficiency system can significantly reduce energy use and costs.

How are you spending your summer? Contact us to schedule a delivery or learn more about how propane makes outdoor living easier than ever.
