COMMERCIAL SERVICES
The propane business has changed significantly over the past 20 years with the development of better technology and the demands of customers becoming more individualized. Customers are no longer satisfied with the “one size fits all” program, they even demand service that is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Economical – Propane forklifts offer an economical way to meet material handling needs. Propane forklifts have life-cycle costs than electric, diesel or gasoline powered forklifts.
- Low Maintenance – Propane produces fewer engine deposits than gasoline and diesel fuel, resulting in lower maintenance costs. Propane engines can typically last up to twice as long as gasoline engines.
- Environmentally Friendly – Propane is a non-toxic, clean-burning fuel that is safely used to power forklifts indoors and out. There is no spillage loss or evaporation into the atmosphere.
- Safe – Propane forklift tanks, fuel lines and carburetion components meet or exceed strict specifications. Built-in safety devices automatically shut off the flow of fuel in case of an accident.
- Versatile – Propane forklifts can be used in indoor and outdoor applications. Propane cylinders can be stored and moved almost anywhere within a work site.
Strong – Propane forklifts maintain consistent, 100-percent power throughout operation. They have the ability to push heavy loads at full capacity, up and down inclines, faster, and for a longer amount of time than electric forklifts.
Long Running – Propane forklifts with a typical 33.5 lb cylinder run an average of 8 hours between refueling.
Simple & Fast Refueling – With propane forklifts simply remove the empty cylinder and replace it with a full one. Refueling can be completed in 5 minutes.
DELIVERY SERVICES
Hometown Energy specializes in residential propane delivery services for homeowners and homeowners associations. We offer the lowest prices on propane for homes and stay true to our commitment by being upfront and honest about our quality service and pricing. Wabash, Edwards and Gibson county residents have been taken advantage of by large propane corporations for many years, usually without having any other choice in the matter, as they are continually required to pay outlandish prices for these same exact services, usually at inconsistent rates. At any time, larger corporations may change a homeowners rate to whatever they desire, without any regulations to stop them. Meaning you could be paying far more than your neighbor, but receive the same product. It should be the homeowners choice on which brand of propane gas goes into their tank, based on who has the best price available to them. But when your tank is owned by one of these larger corporations, you do not have this luxury. But with Hometown Energy, we can tell you how!
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
- Heating Your House – Heating your house has always been a huge priority for homeowners for as long as we can remember. Propane furnaces are now considered the best choice for heating your house because they not only reduce monthly energy costs and increase efficiency all together, they are also typically preferred over electric heaters because of their quality conditioning provided. Propane furnaces offer a more flexible design, allowing for either vertical or horizontal venting, and heats up temperatures 25 degrees warmer than electric heaters. Another added bonus would be how transportable propane furnaces can be, allowing for homeowners to reclaim hundreds of additional square feet of living space during the more chilling months of the year when using propane-fueled patio furnaces.
- Water Heating – Modern technology such as the tankless water heater, have made it even easier to obtain hot water while reducing energy costs by as much as 60% and operate up to 98% efficiency compared to electric heaters. Typical tankless water heaters last anywhere from 5 to 10 years longer than electric water heaters while saving you 12 to 16 square feet of floor space.
- Indoor and Outdoor Appliances – Indoor and Outdoor appliances powered by propane are considered much safer with their instant start and stop gas burners, allowing for the appliance to cool of quicker. Propane appliances are also considered superior to electric appliances by chefs as stated by the American Gas Association, where 96% of chefs prefer cooking with propane due to its better heat control and better heat distribution.
- Pool and Spa Heating – Propane pool and spa heaters bring water temperatures to a more desirable level much quicker end efficiently compared to electric heaters, allowing you to take advantage of more of your free time without waiting for the water to heat.
