Syracuse, NY – [2/19/2025] – Mirabito Energy Products is proud to announce a donation of $16,500 to The DICK’S Foundation’s Sports Matter Program, made possible through our partnership with Syracuse University Athletics. As part of our Kicks for a Cause campaign, Mirabito pledged $300 for every successful kick made by the Syracuse football team during home games throughout the 24-25 season. Thanks to an outstanding season, we are thrilled to make this significant contribution to an organization that is committed to ensuring that all young athletes have access to play, recognizing that sports can shape character, foster community, and provide essential physical and mental health benefits.
To celebrate this impactful donation, the Mirabito team welcomed representatives from DICK’S Sporting Goods, including Kim Myers and Mark Mackisoc, as well as CJ Watson and Jake Plattman from Syracuse Sports Properties, to our Mirabito Energy Products location in Syracuse on February 7. The event featured a special appearance by Otto the Orange, Syracuse University’s beloved mascot, who helped present the check. Attendees gathered in front of one of our fuel trucks to recognize the generous contribution and highlight the positive impact of the Sports Matter initiative.
“At Mirabito, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve, and our partnership with Syracuse Athletics allows us to do just that,” said Marissa Sweeney, Marketing Director at Mirabito Energy Products. “The Sports Matter initiative aligns perfectly with our Mirabito Cares mission of supporting organizations that benefit youth and families for a brighter future.

When you think about your most important home comfort equipment, there’s a decent chance you will immediately think about your home’s furnace, boiler, air conditioning or heat pump. These are undoubtedly vital systems in your household, but there’s another piece of equipment that you could not live without.
We’re talking about your home’s water heater.
Without a dependable, efficient water heater, you couldn’t enjoy a soothing shower each morning or run a bath for your kids at night. Cleaning dishes and laundry would be all but impossible, and that doesn’t even account for the other daily chores that require hot water. What’s more, the U.S. Department of Energy has found that the average home uses about one-fifth of its energy heating water.
As you can see, having the most efficient, highest-performance water heater is essential to keeping your quality of life high and your energy spending low. Mirabito is here to assist you in identifying and installing the ideal water heater for your home and family.
Is It Time for a Water Heater Replacement?
We advise our customers never to ignore the warning signs of a failing water heater, especially if it’s approaching 10 years of use. These warning signs include:
Have you noticed any of these issues? Please reach out to us right away so we can inspect your equipment. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, we want to secure and install your replacement equipment before the current water heater fails, leaving you without hot water (and potentially some water damage in your home).
What Are Your New Water Heater Options?
The good news, if you need a new water heater, is that there are some fantastic options available to you that can boost your hot water production while saving you money on energy use.
Some of the most popular water heater types include the following:

If you’ve been using older equipment, it might be time to consider an upgrade.

When winter weather arrives in our part of the country, it does not mess around. Even when we aren’t facing blustery snow from a raging nor’easter or lake effect bands, we’re still contending with days on end of sub-freezing temperatures. Reliable, effective home heating is an absolute necessity.
For well over a century, homeowners in upstate New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont have used heating oil to stay toasty through the coldest days of winter. Over the years, Mirabito has been there to consistently deliver premium heating oil to our customers. Why has heating oil remained so popular in the Northeast? In this article, we’ll discuss just that.
How Much Heat Does Heating Oil Produce?
Heating oil is a fantastic generator of household warmth. The best way to measure heat generation is by Btu (British thermal unit). One Btu is the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
A single gallon of heating oil can produce 138,500 Btu of heat energy. That’s the equivalent amount of heat produced by roughly 134 cubic feet of natural gas or 41 kilowatt hours of electricity. It’s an incredible amount of warmth!
How Does a Heating Oil System Keep You Warm?
Your furnace or boiler’s burner clicks on when the temperature drops in your home, and your thermostat signals the heating system to start. A fuel pump draws heating oil through a filter into your burner, where it’s turned into a fine spray, mixed with air and ignited in the combustion chamber.
In its liquid form, heating oil won’t ignite on its own. Indeed, if you were to drop a lit match into a bucket of liquid heating oil, it would go out like it was dropped in water.
Once the burner is on, the combustion chamber heats up. In furnaces, a heat exchanger absorbs this heat, and a blower fan distributes warm air through ducts into your rooms. In boilers, the hot combustion chamber heats water, which circulates as either hot water or steam through plumbing to radiators or baseboards. The process repeats until the thermostat reaches the desired temperature, while emissions are vented safely outdoors through a flue.
Today’s oil-fired heating systems are more efficient than ever. Homeowners today use an average of 500 fewer gallons of oil each year to heat their homes compared to 30 years ago.
How Has Heating Oil Changed Over the Years?
Heating oil is more eco-friendly than it has ever been. All heating oil today is ultra-low-sulfur, which means it contains 99% less sulfur than it used to. The introduction of ultra-low-sulfur heating oil has improved air quality and allowed for the development of more efficient heating systems.
We’re also seeing the widespread incorporation of biofuels into heating oil. Bioheat Fuel is a gallon-for-gallon replacement for petroleum made from recycled and organic feedstocks like used cooking grease, plant oils, woody biomass and even algae. Biofuel-blended heating oil can be used in your equipment without modifications and lowers carbon, mercury and particulate matter emissions. It’s also better for the long-term health of your heating equipment.
Come to Mirabito for Unparalleled Home Heating Oil Delivery Options.
There are a lot of compelling reasons that thousands of households have trusted Mirabito for nearly a century with their heating oil delivery. We offer premium-quality heating oil at fair, transparent prices. And with our complimentary automatic delivery option and various payment plans, you never need to check your tank levels, contact us for a fill-up or worry about running out.

[Binghamton, NY, January 15, 2024] — Mirabito Philanthropy is proud to announce the success of its 33rd Annual Mirabito Golf Classic, held on June 4 and 5, 2024 at the prestigious Turning Stone Resort and Casino. The past year’s tournament marked a milestone as it was the first-ever hosted at Turning Stone and raised an impressive $150,000 to support charities aligned with the mission of Mirabito Philanthropy: advancing medical research and supporting families in our communities.
The event brought together Mirabito’s friends, customers, business partners, employees and family members, filling all three of Turning Stone Resort’s premier golf courses. This extraordinary participation underscores the shared commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.
Proceeds from the Golf Classic were distributed to several outstanding organizations, including:
“Each year, the Golf Classic reminds us of the power of community and embodies the unwavering support of our long-standing relationships with our business partners,” said Lindsay Meehan, Mirabito Philanthropy Chairperson. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, participants, and volunteers, we can continue supporting organizations that provide hope, care, and vital services to families in need.”

Driving around countless residential communities in upstate New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont, you are likely to see quite a few propane tanks connected to homes. The Mirabito Energy team is proud to be filling many of these tanks to power essential household equipment.
But where does propane come from, and why has it remained such a fantastically popular energy source in the United States? In this article, we’ll provide a primer on this efficient, eco-friendly, American-made fuel.
Nearly all the propane you use is produced right here in the United States. In fact, the U.S. generates far more propane than it consumes, making it a net exporter of this fuel since 2011.
Most conventional propane is a co-product of natural gas processing and oil refining. During natural gas extraction, liquid components like ethane, methane, propane, butane and other heavier hydrocarbons are separated, with propane being the most prevalent co-product. Additionally, propane is produced as part of the crude oil refining process, where it’s separated from heavier products like gasoline or diesel.
There’s also renewable propane, which is chemically identical to conventional propane but derived from organic and recycled sources such as animal fats, vegetable oils and restaurant grease. Although renewable propane production is still limited, it’s becoming more widely available with each passing year.
Here are a few of the considerable benefits of using propane to fuel your home comfort equipment, appliances and amenities:
Another significant reason that propane is extremely popular is that it’s amazingly versatile. You can use it to produce robust, reliable heating from furnaces, boilers, garage heaters and space heaters.
Propane water heaters keep showers steamy and the warm water flowing to faucets and appliances. If you want virtually infinite hot water and minimal energy consumption, a propane tankless water heater can’t be beat.
Homeowners love the chef-quality cooking experience offered by propane gas ranges and ovens, and propane dryers quickly dry laundry while leaving fewer wrinkles and less static cling. You can transform your living spaces by adding a propane-powered fireplace, gas log or freestanding hearth.
Propane also elevates your outdoor spaces with safe, high-performance amenities like grills, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, patio heaters, lighting and pool heaters.
Finally, you can enjoy total peace of mind when the power grid fails by backing up your home’s electricity with a whole-house propane generator. These standby systems come on automatically when your home loses power and keep your lights, refrigerator, HVAC equipment, security system and at-home medical devices running for as long as you need.
When your essential home comfort equipment depends on a full propane tank, you need to be able to have faith in your fuel provider. Since 1927, the Mirabito team has been the heating fuel delivery partner of choice across our service region. When you use our automatic propane delivery, we handle all the planning for you. You don’t need to check a tank gauge or worry about running out of fuel — and it doesn’t cost you one penny extra!
Interested in enjoying the best propane delivery in the region? Join the happy family of Mirabito customers today.
