From Coal to Clean Energy: The Evolution of Hinds Energy’s Mechanical Division
For over 80 years, Hinds Energy has served the families, farms, and businesses of northeastern Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York with one goal in mind: to provide reliable, forward-thinking energy solutions that stand the test of time.
Our Mechanical Division was born from that same purpose and has grown and evolved alongside the communities we serve.
It All Started with a Coal-to-Oil Conversion
In the early years, Hinds Energy’s primary mission was to help local families transition from coal heat to oil. Coal had been the standard for generations, but cleaner-burning and more efficient heating oil became the modern answer. As customer needs changed, we adapted. Helping thousands of homes and businesses upgrade their systems for safety, convenience, and efficiency.
From Oil to Propane: Adapting with the Market
As heating technology continued to evolve, so did we. Our mechanical technicians became certified to handle oil-to-propane conversions, allowing customers to benefit from high-efficiency propane systems. Whether installing new furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas lines, Hinds Energy remained a trusted name in propane heating solutions.
Expanding Services: HVAC, Electrical, and Water Filtration
Over time, it became clear that our customers needed more than just fuel and heat, they needed a trusted, local provider for HVAC installation, water system upgrades, and electrical service. We answered that call.
Today, our Mechanical Division offers a full range of services, including:
-
Heating system installations and repairs (oil, propane, electric, and hybrid)
-
Central air conditioning and ductless mini-split installation
-
Indoor air quality and whole-house water filtration systems
-
Preventive maintenance and service agreements for long-term performance
Whether you're building a new home, renovating an old one, or simply looking to improve energy efficiency, Hinds Energy is equipped to handle the job—safely, professionally, and on budget.
