You’ve probably spent the last two years thinking about your family’s health even more than usual. Fortunately, there are effective vaccines and treatments for Covid-19 now, but it is still making people sick. Young children across the country are being hospitalized due to RSV (another respiratory illness). And experts are predicting this is going to be a particularly rough flu season. You’ve learned how to give your loved ones the best chance at not getting seriously ill when they go out into the world. You’ve worn masks and gotten vaccinated. You wash your hands thoroughly and always have hand sanitizer with you for those times when you can’t wash your hands.
With everything going on in the world, you want your northern Pennsylvania home to be your sanctuary—the place where you can rest and breathe easy. Your home protects you from all sorts of things like the weather and intruders. With the right indoor air quality products, it can also protect your family’s health.
Clyde S. Walton sells and installs top-quality whole-house humidifiers and air cleaners to improve the air quality in your home, protect your family’s health, and keep your family comfortable. Not sure what you and your family need? Our experienced and highly trained employees can help you determine which product is best suited to your home and then skillfully install it.
Why should care about your home’s indoor air quality? Covid is still spreading, flu season has begun, and RSV is a major concern to families with small children. As it gets colder and colder, your family will probably spend more time inside your home. So, it’s even more important that the air in your home be as clean and healthy as possible.
Clyde S. Walton installs top-of-the-line indoor air quality equipment from trusted manufacturers. Both humidifiers and air cleaners contribute to your family’s comfort and health.
Whole-Home Humidifiers
It might not seem obvious, but humidifiers help protect your family’s health. In properly humidified air, you’re less suspectable to colds, the flu, and other respiratory ailments. Properly humidified air can also help alleviate asthma and allergy symptoms whereas overly dry air can aggravate asthma and allergy symptoms. As an added bonus, properly humidified air feels warmer, so you’ll be able to lower the thermostat without sacrificing comfort and enjoy lower heating bills.
Clyde S. Walton installs top-quality whole-house humidifiers from AprilAire. These units connect directly to your cooling and heating system. And you can control your home’s humidity level through your thermostat.
Air Cleaners
Today’s homes are more energy efficient than ever. That’s a great thing when it comes to keeping your home at just the right temperature, but it also means air impurities like mold spores and germs that enter your home are likely to stay in your home. In fact, according to the EPA, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. An air cleaner can make your home a healthier and safer place to breathe by removing impurities and improving your home’s indoor air quality. Your home’s air will also be freer of common allergens.
Clyde S. Walton sells and installs the best air cleaner systems from brands you can trust: AprilAire, Lennox, and Trane.
In addition to selling and installing humidifiers and air cleaner systems, the technicians at Clyde S. Walton also maintain and repair air quality systems. So, if your existing home humidifier or air cleaner needs service or maintenance, we can handle that for you too.
For more than a century, the communities of Northern Pennsylvania have been able to count on Clyde S. Walton for exceptional service. Our satisfied customers live in Abington, Horsham, Lansdale, Norristown, Warminster, Warrington, West Norriton, and the surrounding towns in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
Don’t wait to improve the quality of the air in your home. Contact Clyde S. Walton today, and we’ll help keep your family healthy and comfortable.
On October 5, OPEC announced it was slashing production by two million barrels a day. Within just three days, our suppliers increased the cost of heating oil by 70 cents per gallon. That’s right, 70 cents per gallon.
This is not just impacting heating oil. Expect natural gas, electricity, gasoline and propane to move higher too. Of course, this is not simply about supply and demand. We’ve learned that when prices move this far this fast, you can always see the impact of Wall Street firms that jump to take advantage of the momentum to make a quick buck. (Or should we say millions of bucks?) It frustrates the heck out of us.
Of course, things can turn around just as quickly. We saw prices spike in spring only to drop by over a dollar in summer. There are just too many variables to know where things will go from here.
Here are a few things to bear in mind:
We will try to keep you informed as events unfold. There are many things we can’t control, but we will always prioritize our existing customers over new ones. We will go the extra mile to keep you safe and warm, and we will be there when you need us.

We know many of you are looking at energy cost increases and wondering when this will end, and we don’t blame you. Our goal is to keep you in the loop as much as possible, even though the situation remains very fluid.
Last week, our suppliers again raised prices by more than 65 cents per gallon over a few days. The reasons are complicated and seem to be affecting heating oil and diesel fuel much more than gasoline.
The driving factor is that heating oil in our area is in short supply now. In fact, if you look at prices on the commodities exchanges, they show heating oil at a dollar less than we can get it! That never happens. It’s called “basis blowout” and reflects a disconnect between the markets and actual supplies.
The good news is that the supply issues are happening because the markets expect heating oil prices to go lower by a fair amount over the next several months. Fuel suppliers are reluctant to purchase fuel now and get stuck with higher-priced product. The bad news is that it is causing prices to be artificially higher now, and no one really knows for sure what will happen with the Ukraine war. By the way, we are seeing the same kind of surges in natural gas and electric costs.
We decided to hold off most deliveries except for those customers who seemed to be running low. It didn’t help that we’ve had an unusually cold spring, and people are still using their heat. Beyond that, we want to urge people to get on our budget billing program, which allows us to spread your fuel payments over 11 months. If prices stay high next year, it will be much easier to manage your bills if you don’t have to pay for all of your deliveries in just five months of fall and winter.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call our office. We are here for you.

Dear Valued Customer,
Once again, we’re seeing energy prices surge across the board. We know how painful that can be for our customers. It’s painful for us, as well.
Gasoline has risen more than a dollar more per gallon vs. a year ago. Natural gas prices have skyrocketed more than 150%. Crude oil prices have climbed above $100 per barrel, a level we haven’t seen in seven years.
The cost of electricity has not been spared either. Higher natural gas prices result in price hikes for wholesale electricity because of heavy reliance on natural gas-fired power plants.
What’s more, wholesale propane prices have hit their highest weekly average levels since February 2014. Read more about the factors that are driving today’s energy market.
People sometimes misunderstand how negatively all this impacts us, as well. We don’t make more money when prices rise like this; we make less. Think of it this way: it’s like when the cost of coffee, milk, or oranges rises. It’s not the local grocery that is profiting. (That’s left to the Wall Street investors.) Our customers have a harder time paying their bills. They reduce expenditures. We need to tap into our lines of credit more. Our phones light up with questions. So the sooner energy prices drop, the happier we’ll be.
In the meantime, please talk to us about things we can offer to help you reduce your energy costs, or handle payments more easily. And if you are having trouble with your bills, please call us. We can generally work with you if you reach out before you fall behind.
We’ve been in business for many years and have deep roots in the community. We have secure access to supplies. We are doing everything possible to ensure we can deliver — even if other companies cannot — no matter the cost or difficulty we face.
We thank you for your understanding and we appreciate your loyalty. As we’ve done quite a few times in the past, we will get through these tough times by all working together.
You’ve already felt it. There’s a change in the air. It’s autumn in Pennsylvania, and that means the beginning of heating system. The weather is still on the milder side now, but before you know it winter will be here. You want to be sure that your heating system is ready and up to the challenge of keeping your family warm all winter long. Don’t worry, Clyde S. Walton will take care of it!
Now is the time to test your heating system and make sure it’s working as it should be. You don’t want to find out you’ve got a no heat situation in the middle of winter. If you’re oil burner isn’t working, here’s what to do.
The best way to avoid having a no-heat problem this winter is to get heating maintenance now. Walton offers service plans that provide comprehensive protection and will help you avoid unexpected repairs and keep your equipment running better for longer. So schedule a tune-up for your boiler, furnace, or heat pump as soon as possible. We also recommend signing up for a propane gas appliance safety check now as well.
Don’t delay in scheduling your tune-up. Now that it’s autumn our schedule is already filling up and we’ll get busier and busier the closer we get to winter.
Regular maintenance for your heating system is worth the investment. A heating system that doesn’t receive regular maintenance will lose efficiency and cost you more to run. By getting a tune-up now, you’ll enter winter knowing your equipment is running safely and efficiently. Plus, since most breakdowns can be avoided with regular maintenance, getting a tune-up now will allow one of Walton’s expert technicians to find and fix any minor issues before they become more serious and costly.
We recommend signing up for one of our service plans before winter arrives to help you have a stress-free heating season. Our service plans include an annual tune-up, repair discounts, and priority service. We have service plans for customers using heating oil, propane, natural gas, and heat pumps.
Here are five more ways you can have a simpler winter as a Clyde S. Walton customer:
