After a harsh winter, Pennsylvania homeowners are looking forward to the sun-filled days and warmer weather that comes with spring. Now’s the perfect time to prep your home before the season’s thaw. Add these tasks to your spring cleaning to-do list to save money and energy as temperatures rise.

6 Simple Energy-Saving Tips

1. Schedule Your A/C Tune-Up

Just like your heating system, your air conditioning equipment requires professional maintenance to run safely and efficiently. Have your A/C tuned up in advance so that your equipment is ready when summer hits. Routine maintenance will help your cooling system run more efficiently, lower energy costs, and reduce the risk of a breakdown.

2. Get a Programmable Thermostat

Switching from a manual to a programmable thermostat can help you save on your energy bills. Set the indoor temperature higher during periods when you’re not home or at night when it cools down to conserve energy.

3. Install Ceiling Fans

Did you know that using ceiling fans while your air conditioner is on can help save energy? Running both together can actually lower the temperature on your thermostat by four degrees without impacting your comfort. Don’t forget to turn off the ceiling fan when you leave the room to boost energy savings even more!

4. Use Window Treatments

Keep curtains closed during the day once temps start to rise. It may be tempting to let in natural light, but on hot sunny days the sun’s rays can quickly bump up the temperature in the room, causing your air conditioning to work harder and run longer.

5. Cook Outdoors

Grilling season doesn’t start on the Fourth of July! Cooking outdoors is not only healthy, but can reduce your propane or electricity use.

6. Seal Drafts

If you haven’t checked your home for air leaks, now’s the time! Drafts around windows and doors allow outdoor air inside your home, which can affect both your heating and cooling systems to work overtime.

Looking for more helpful energy-saving tips? Call the home comfort experts at W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. to schedule your air conditioning tune-up before the rush!

In Pennsylvania, homeowners know that using high-efficiency HVAC equipment is a must to stay comfortable and save money all year long. But we’re not only talking about your oil boiler, gas furnace, or central air conditioning system.

From below-freezing temps to sticky summer weather, your water heater is working hard to supply the hot water you depend on for showering, dishwashing, laundering, and more.  This essential appliance not only needs regular service, just like your heating and cooling systems, but it also should be replaced every 10 years or so for your cost savings, safety, and day-to-day convenience.

Which type of water heater is best?

As HVAC technology continues to advance, homeowners that use oil and gas have several water heating options to choose from:

Conventional Storage Water Heater

Most likely the water heater in your home today, if it has not been recently updated. This unit holds a supply of hot water and operates by releasing it from the top of the tank when hot water is called for. Afterward, cold water fills the bottom of the tank.

Indirect Water Heater

Uses the heat from your boiler or furnace to heat your hot water simultaneously. At the time hot water or heat is called for, the demand is taken from the indirect water tank instead of the heating system. Energy stored by the water tank allows the furnace or boiler to shut off and on less often, which can save energy, lower costs, and extend the system’s lifespan.

Tankless Water Heater

Get the best return for your investment. This system requires no storage tank! Cold water simply travels through a pipe to reach a unit with a heating element, resulting in instant hot water always available when you need it.

When should I upgrade?

The most common reason for water heater failure is old age. If your system is not properly maintained on an annual basis by a W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. technician/professional, sudden system failure can occur without warning. This can put your family members at risk and cause damage to your property. W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. can recommend when it is time to replace your system to help avoid a malfunction.

Contact the energy experts at W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. to schedule your next water heater maintenance or to get started on your new installation today!

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!

As important as it is to get your heating system tuned every year, it’s also important to realize when it’s time to replace your equipment.

Today’s advances in technology make it even more worthwhile to replace your old heating system with a new energy-efficient model.

• Reduce energy costs

• Improve overall home comfort

See why so many homeowners are choosing now to upgrade. Enjoy added value to your home and peace of mind with heating equipment installed by W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc. Call us at (717) 236-5031 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:

Automatic Delivery

Whatever winter brings, you can always rest easy knowing your fuel tank is full.

24/7 Emergency Support

Equipment issues? Don’t panic! You can reach your local HVAC experts any day, any time.

Service Under One Roof

Enjoy complete convenience with all of your home comfort services just one call away.

Routine Maintenance

Annual tune-ups and equipment service can greatly improve efficiency and lower energy costs.

WATER TREATMENT & FILTRATION SOLUTIONS

Is hard water an issue in your home? Solving the problem is easier than you think! Installing a water treatment system is an affordable way to significantly improve your water quality and day-to-day lifestyle. There are water softening and filtration systems available for all property types and budgets.

Say goodbye to excess buildup in appliances and unpleasant water odor or taste. The many benefits of water treatment include:

• Safer drinking water
• Easier cleaning of sinks and bathtubs
• Cleaner dishes and silverware

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.
