E-Billing: The Perks of Going Paperless
When it comes to managing your home comfort, simple is always better. That is why many local energy providers, like W.C. Eshenaur & Son, Inc., are now offering homeowners an e-billing option. Handling your annual energy costs online streamlines the record process, creating a one-stop shop for payments, service summaries, and delivery scheduling.

Organized record of energy expenses
Keeping track of your service spending is now easier than ever. Instead of shuffling through past delivery receipts and old bills, you can review your home comfort history in one user-friendly location.

Propane Fuels Summer Fun
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.

Stay Cool All Summer Long
Now that spring has arrived here in Pennsylvania, it’s time to prepare for those sweltering summer days ahead. Get ahead of the game and install your energy efficient cooling system now to enjoy ultimate comfort and serious savings all season.
Which A/C System Is Right For You?
Choosing the right cooling system for your living space is easy. Central air conditioning uses ductwork to disperse cool air evenly throughout your home, while ductless mini-split systems provide even “zoned” cooling by an unobtrusive wall mounted unit. Whatever suits your cooling needs; you can say goodbye to ineffective window units and hello to the benefits of a new A/C system!

Benefits of a Central A/C System
- Energy efficient
- Fast and effective distribution of cool air keeps your entire home comfortable
- Whisper-quiet operation

Benefits of a Ductless Mini-Split
- Zoned cooling saves you energy and money
- Easy installation, no messy ductwork required
- Improves indoor air quality
Protect Your Investment
Once you’ve decided to equip your home with an energy-saving cooling system, routine maintenance is essential. You can trust experienced, licensed technicians to provide efficient installation and quality service to keep your equipment operating smoothly. Save time and money from season to season with an air conditioning maintenance plan.
Benefits of an Air Conditioning Maintenance Plan
- Annual 16-Point Tune-Up
- Priority Service
- 15% Discount on All Parts
Sit back, relax, and save with a new A/C system. Contact your local HVAC experts to learn more or schedule an installation today!
How High-Efficiency Heating & Cooling Helps You Save
Heating and cooling costs can really add up for homeowners in four-season climates like we have here in the Harrisburg, PA, area. For most of us, cutting down on energy costs without sacrificing home comfort is the goal—especially in peak summer and winter months. What’s one surefire way to do it? Equip your home with energy-efficient appliances.
Benefits of Upgrading Your HVAC Systems
When you utilize higher efficiency heating and cooling systems, you can look forward to more effective energy output. This means your systems run less to produce the same amount of energy, leading to the following major benefits and more.
- Lower annual heating and cooling costs
- Better year-round home comfort
- Reduced risk of equipment failure
- Fewer emissions released into the atmosphere
Understanding Efficiency Ratings & Equipment Features
Your boiler or furnace’s efficiency is measured by an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. This represents how much heat the system gives off and how much energy it takes to produce it. Similarly, your central air conditioning system’s efficiency is measured using a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER).

Common features of high-efficiency heating systems:
- Upwards of 85% AFUE
- Sealed combustion
- ENERGY STAR® approval

Common features of high-efficiency central air systems:
- Upwards of 20 SEER
- Compatible with programmable thermostats
- ENERGY STAR® approval
The Right Time to Upgrade
If your current heating or cooling equipment is more than 15 years old, you can save anywhere from 30% to 50% by upgrading to new, energy-efficient systems. Making an upgrade is particularly important if your heating system’s stack temperature over 500° or if your A/C still uses R22 refrigerant.
Not sure about the age or condition of your home energy appliances? Want to learn more about the benefits of high efficiency? We’re here to help!
Spring 2017
March 31, 2017
WHAT’S NEW AT W.C. ESHENAUR & SON, INC.
Dear Valued Customer,
Another winter is in the books—although I can’t say we had a lot to complain about. This season brought bouts of milder temperatures, and consumers were yet again able to take advantage of lower fuel prices. Because of these factors, many of our customers spent significantly less on heating costs, providing the opportunity to reinvest those winter energy savings in your home comfort for the future.
Upgrade and Save. Installing a new, high-efficiency heating system or water heater not only improves the comfort of your home; it also reduces fuel consumption, helping you to save even more on annual energy costs.
Beat the Heat. Get smart about cooling during summer months. An energy-efficient central air conditioning
system will cut overall energy costs, while a ductless mini-split system cools by zone, allowing you to cool sections of your house on demand instead of the entire home at once.
Invest in Peace of Mind. Enroll in a heating or cooling maintenance plan to ensure your home and family’s
year-round comfort. Plus, take advantage of annual tune-ups, emergency/priority service, parts discounts, and more!
We’re investing this spring, too—we’ll continue to invest in the latest technologies, technician trainings, and service equipment so that we can provide the best possible service to our customers throughout 2017 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Craig Eshenaur
