As someone who lives in Pennsylvania, you know how important it is to prepare for the cold winter months. You want to ensure that your home is always safe and warm, even when the weather outside gets cold and stormy. You can count on Ace-Robbins for all your propane needs. In addition to fuel delivery, we provide propane tank delivery, installation, and monitoring.
Anyone who’s ever run out of propane knows what a disaster it can be. If your tank runs out completely, you’ll need professional assistance to get your system back up and running again. And your propane tank doesn’t have to be completely empty to cause you problems. If your propane levels get too low, air can get into your heating system. Having air in your heating system can lead to expensive damage. In general, you shouldn’t let your tank’s propane level go below 20%.
As an Ace-Robbins customer, you can take on the responsibility of monitoring your tank’s levels and calling us whenever you’re ready for a delivery. You can also sign up for automatic delivery service. With automatic delivery service, we estimate your usage and make propane deliveries accordingly. However, we offer a third delivery option that takes all the pressure off you and makes it virtually impossible you’ll ever encounter any of the problems associated with running too low on propane.
For a nominal fee, you can lease a monitor for your tank. This is the best way to gain peace of mind that you’ll never run out of propane. The smart monitor connects to a free mobile app that allows you to see your tank’s level whenever you want to and wherever you are.
There are a lot of reasons to consider adding a smart monitor to your propane tank:

When a loved one has died, or needs to go into long-term care, you may find yourself in charge of emptying their home.
It is a demanding experience, not just emotionally but in terms of time and effort. Ace-Robbins has extensive experience in working with both families and estate clean-out companies, so we understand what you’re dealing with.
Before you need a dumpster, you need a plan. We’ve put together some tips to make this process as easy as possible.
You don’t know who else may have had access to your loved one’s keys. Changing the locks lets you control access to the house. Have the mail forwarded to your home and cancel newspaper subscriptions.
You’ll be going through a lot of paper in the coming weeks. Focus on finding the important stuff first. This includes:
You will probably cancel some services, such as cable TV and landline phones. You will, however, need to keep utilities such as electricity and gas in effect to keep the house safe and get it ready for sale.
There are many ways you can handle the sorting of belongings such as clothes, knickknacks, jewelry, collectibles and furniture.
Go one room at a time. Empty all the closets, drawers and shelves. Everything is to be designated as Keep/Sell, Donate or Trash. Use piles or color-coded stickers.
If there is any dispute or uncertainty about the distribution or disposal of items, set them aside for now. Their fate can be decided once the big sorting and purging are done.
Estate-sale companies can help you determine what items have value, and they’ll work with you to get them sold. They may also be able to point you toward nonprofits such as Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, which will take the items you want to donate.
Ace-Robbins’s dumpster-rental services make emptying the home less stressful. Our rates are competitive, and we have a wide range of dumpster sizes to suit your needs.

Summer is a great time to kick back and relax – especially after the year and a half we’ve all had. But believe it or not, we’ve already passed the halfway point of summer 2021, and Labor Day will be here before you know it. Then it’s back to school and back to work and – well, you know the drill.
The problem is that once you get into your job and school routines, it’s hard to find the momentum you’ll need to tackle that house-clearing project you said you’d start this fall – and once winter hits you’ll find yourself looking at that stack of junk day after day until next spring.

As the peak of summer arrives here in PA, you’ll probably find your electric bill spiking with temperatures. That makes sense, considering that about half your electric use comes from running your home cooling system your home during the dog days of summer.
But where does the rest of the bill come from?
The simple answer to that question is that it comes from running the rest of the appliances in your home. Since some devices consume more electricity than others, it’s a good idea to learn how much energy is used to run common appliances.
Check out this list, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy:
| Appliance | kWh | Estimated annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| TV (40”or larger) | 234 | $41.00 |
| Refrigerator | 225 | $78.84 |
| Washing machine | 255 | $9.55 |
| Dryer | 2790 | $104.46 |
| Air conditioner | 3500 | $480.00 |
As you can see, the kilowatt hours can add up quickly. The question is, what can you do to keep them as low as possible? Here are some tips.
With even the most efficient models of each installed, you could be paying more than $100 a year in electricity just to keep your clothes clean.
To reduce energy use when washing and drying laundry,
Refrigerators
The average refrigerator uses an estimated 657 kWh of electricity a year, typically costing you $80 or more per year to run. By maximizing your refrigerator’s efficiency, you can take a bite out of your energy bill.
Here’s how.
The average three-ton air conditioner operates at around 3.5 kWh while in use; if you run it for nine hours a day during the summer, it would cost you nearly $500 per year.

It’s a simple equation: more heat outside means harder work for your central air conditioner inside. On the hottest Pennsylvania days, in fact, your central A/C might run all day and never reach the temperature you set on your thermostat.
With experts predicting a scorching second half of summer 2021 here in the Northeast, you’re going to need a plan to take some of the pressure off your home cooling system. That plan should include two key parts: minimizing the heat entering your home, and keeping your air conditioner performing at its peak.
Let’s break those two down a bit more.
Key # 1: Keeping the heat out
To make you feel cool, your A/C has to remove the heat that makes its way into your home – the more heat there is, the harder it has to work.
To keep the heat out of your home, try these tips:
Key # 2: Take care of your A/C
The next step is to make sure you’re doing everything you can to make sure your air conditioner is running at peak efficiency. Make sure to:
A/C not keeping up with our latest heat wave? Give the HVAC pros at Ace-Robbins a call. For expert A/C installation and repair in Wyoming County, PA, nobody beats Ace-Robbins!
So far in 2021, we’ve been spared the West’s extreme summer heat here in Pennsylvania – but most experts agree that we won’t avoid it altogether. As temperatures rise, keeping your air conditioning system running efficiently and reliably will become more critical than ever.
Unfortunately, your home cooling system won’t always act the way you want it to.
Here are three common HVAC problems you may encounter this summer. If you do, don’t try to fix them yourself! Contact Ace-Robbins for professional air conditioning service in Wyoming County, PA.
A capacitor is a device that temporarily stores energy – kind of like a battery – before supplying it to your air conditioner’s compressor (the outside fan and the blower fan of an air conditioning unit). There are two types of capacitors in a central air system: a start capacitor, which supplies the energy to activate the A/C motor, and a run capacitor, which keeps that motor going. When one of these capacitors malfunction, it can no longer hold a charge; this can damage the compressor and other parts of your home cooling system.
A capacitor that can no longer hold a charge will make a distinct clicking or humming sound, and may also shut down your cooling system shortly after start-up.
A drain line is a pipe that moves water from the drip pan under the A/C’s evaporator coil to a location outside your home, helping your cooling system maintain optimal humidity levels inside your home. Over time, a drain line can become clogged with dirt, mold, algae, and mildew, causing water to backflow inside your unit and potentially damaging other parts of your cooling system.
Clogged drain lines are easy to identify: look for telltale water leaks from your compressor unit.
Enclosed within the AC coils, refrigerant is a fluid that allows your air conditioner to continuously absorb indoor heat; it is the heart of your home cooling system. Refrigerant levels often drop due to very small leaks in your system that you can’t see with the naked eye; a good technician will typically check for these leaks during an annual tune-up if they see that refrigerant levels are low. It’s important to realize that simply adding refrigerant will often not fix the problem: once a refrigerant leak is discovered, it should be evaluated by an HVAC professional to see if a repair or replacement makes more sense.
The telltale signs of a refrigerant leak are warm air coming from your vents coupled with ice crystals forming on your A/C’s evaporator coils.
HVAC problems like these can cause unexpected stress, but don’t worry: Ace-Robbins is here for you with expert air conditioning repairs and maintenance in eastern PA. If you notice any of signs of the problems above, or have any other issues with your home cooling system, contact us today for expert air conditioning service, 24/7.
