Trane Propane Furnace Conversion in Madison, Connecticut

Overview

A family from Madison CT felt uncomfortable due to their underperforming window air conditioning units and electric baseboard heating system that was costing an astronomical amount of money to heat their home. They were interested in finding a better solution to heat or cool their home. They called Wilcox Energy to alleviate their problem.

We dispatched Kevin, one of our seasoned technicians, to their home. He performed an inspection and consultation with the family to determine the best solution.

The family wanted to improve their comfort while reducing their energy costs. To achieve this, Kevin recommended an electric to propane conversion for their Madison CT home. Also, he recommended the installation of HVAC ductwork since it would work well with their home’s layout. By following these recommendations, the family would be able to use an energy-efficient forced-air HVAC system, improving their comfort and efficiency levels.

What Are The Benefits Of Propane?

  • Propane heat is hotter than electric heat: A propane gas furnace heats air to about 130 degrees F to 140 degrees F.
  • Safe to store: Propane can be stored safely in a tank on your property, while electricity is subject to power outages.
  • Propane furnaces last longer than electric heat pumps: Propane-fueled furnaces last 5 to 10 years longer than electric heat pumps, on average. Propane is more dependable than electricity.
  • Built-in safety properties: Propane won’t ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 940 degrees.
  • Propane is clean: Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.

Review of Wilcox Energy

Riley and Roger were amazing. They were meticulous checking my heating and a/c. They were thorough and caring. They installed a new Honeywell thermostat also and taught me how it works. I expressed that I was listing my house and that I was excited to assert that Wilcox has maintained my home for over 12 years. I will definitely use them for my new home!
