Powering Your New Home: The Propane Advantage
Building a new home on Long Island is an investment in your future comfort. While older homes may rely on oil or expensive electric resistance heating, modern new construction demands a fuel source that is efficient, versatile, and reliable.
Why Propane is the Premier Choice for New Construction
Superior Heating Performance
- True Warmth: Propane furnaces deliver air at roughly 120°F, significantly warmer than electric heat pumps (90-95°F), ensuring comfort during freezing Long Island winters.
- High Efficiency: Modern propane heating systems can achieve efficiency ratings (AFUE) as high as 98%, meaning nearly every dollar you spend goes directly into heating your home.
Endless Hot Water
- Tankless Efficiency: Propane powers high-performance tankless water heaters that provide endless hot water on demand.
- Space Saving: These units are up to 34% more energy-efficient than traditional tanks and save valuable floor space in your mechanical room.
Ultimate Outdoor Living
- Hamptons-Ready Pools: Propane pool heaters warm water faster than electric pumps, extending your swimming season into late autumn.
- Entertaining: Connect your BBQ grill, fire pit, and patio heaters directly to your main home supply—no more swapping small tanks.
Energy Independence
- Reliable Backup Power: Suffolk County storms can be unpredictable. A propane-powered standby generator turns on automatically when the grid goes down.
- Peace of Mind: Keep your lights, heat, and security systems running without interruption.
Navigating Suffolk County Regulations Requires an Expert Team
Installing a propane system for a new home involves far more than just "dropping a tank." In Suffolk County—and specifically within the Towns of Southampton, East Hampton, Brookhaven, and Southold—strict fire codes and environmental regulations must be met.
