At Main-Care Energy, we regularly speak to homeowners about the best ways to maximize their year-round comfort while lowering their energy costs and their carbon footprint. Every household is unique, with its own set of challenges and solutions. As a full-service heating and cooling provider, we’re able to offer a wide range of equipment options.
For many customers, the best option is propane. This fuel is overwhelmingly U.S.-made. In fact, we export more propane as a country than we use. Consequently, propane’s price tends to be more moderate and stable than other home energy options. And it packs a punch in terms of energy generation. A single gallon of propane can produce 91,452 Btu of heat energy — way better than natural gas and electricity on this metric.
Plus, propane can power an array of exceptional home systems, appliances and amenities. In this article, we’ll take you through the many products this fuel can power and how they can make your home more energy efficient.
When winter arrives at its most inhospitable, you’ll be happy you have the superior heat generation and high efficiency of propane heating equipment on your side. At Main-Care Energy, we install and service top-rated propane furnaces and boilers. These systems can boast fuel efficiencies of nearly 99% — virtually no heat energy gets wasted in combustion! And propane furnaces can deliver air heated to 120°F regardless of the temperature outside.
We can also help you install a hybrid heating system that combines the state-of-the-art cooling and heating operations of an electric heat pump with the dependability of a propane furnace for the most freezing days.
When it comes to hot water for your showers, taps, washer and dishwasher, propane is unbeatable from an efficiency standpoint. A new, properly sized propane water heater can generate hot water twice as fast as a comparable electric unit. And propane tankless water heaters are the pinnacle of reliability and efficiency. They generate practically unlimited hot water on demand, all while using up to 34% less energy than a storage tank unit.
When you have a propane tank on your property, you can power a plethora of energy-efficient products that can boost your quality of life.
In addition to installing and servicing top-quality propane heating products, Main-Care Energy also offers the most dependable propane delivery and tank leasing in Ulster County and the rest of the Hudson Valley (plus the NY Capital Region, Western Vermont and Western Massachusetts). We can promptly and safely set up a propane tank to accommodate all your gas appliances and systems. When you lease your tank, the Main-Care team handles all maintenance and repairs for it.
We also offer free automatic propane delivery for our customers, so you never run out of the fuel you need for your home.
