The housing market is BOOMING in the Hudson Valley — and with all of the excitement of moving into (and decorating) a new home, you also can find yourself with a few unpleasant surprises or a long to-do list.

Our friends at Depew Energy specialize in many of the "not fun" areas of owning a home, so we wanted take a moment to remind readers, whether they are long-time residents or new homeowners, of all the ways Depew Energy can make their lives easier:

1) They repair, maintain and install HVAC systems and water heaters. They handle water heaters, boilers, furnaces and air conditioners, including ductless air conditioning. Whether you're dealing with an emergency replacement or want to upgrade, they're the folks to call. Click here to learn more.

2) They offer water heater and HVAC service and maintenance plans. We all know the better care we take of our heating and cooling systems, the more efficiently they'll run and the longer they'll last, which saves us money in the long run. Depew Energy will take that chore list out of your hands, so you can trust it's all done correctly and on time. Click here to learn more.

3) They sealcoat driveways. Sealcoating helps protect asphalt from damage from moisture, freeze-thaw cycles and more. It's recommended every three to five years.

4) They offer competitive pricing plans for propane and heating oil. We all know there are peak usage times of the year, but that doesn't always make those bigger bills easier to open. Depew Energy offers a few different options for trying to control your costs, including a pre-buy program and a capped price program. Click here to learn more.
