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.

A Madison CT family was paying astronomical prices for their heating and cooling, affecting their comfort.
Solution:
Wilcox Energy performed an electric to propane conversion. This project also included an HVAC ductwork installation and the installation of a Trane furnace and air conditioning system in their Madison CT home.

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.
How Long Does A Propane Furnace Last in Madison, CT?
A propane furnace lifespan is around 15-30 years. With regular, scheduled, yearly furnace maintenance, your furnace should easily last over 15 years.

Having just purchased our home and being completely overwhelmed, Julie has been amazing to work with to help sort out what we need to be doing with our HVAC systems in the home. She’s been a great resource and friendly guide throughout our process of getting up to speed. But the real kudos go to her and Greg helping to save our Memorial Day Weekend plans!! Our pool company opened the pool for us for the weekend so we could celebrate our anniversary and our house purchase but the pool heater conked out and wouldn’t work and the temp of the pool water was 69 degrees, unswimmable for anyone not a polar bear. Julie got Greg on the scene quickly and he very persistently worked to rectify the problem and got our heater working so that the kids didn’t kill me for bait and switching them on the pool opening! The pool was the highlight of our weekend (besides the Memorial Day celebration itself on Monday honoring our country’s heroes) and we were singing Julie and Greg’s praises all weekend for sprinting into action at a time that most people are trying to slide out the door to start their own weekends! It was an amazing save and one we truly appreciated and will never forget! Thanks, guys, you made believers out of us and we’re looking forward to working with Team Wilcox going forward!
Excellent service, thank you!
