Get Your Home Ready Today for the Cold Weather of Tomorrow

 

The leaves are starting to change, kids are back at school, and football is ruling your Sunday afternoons again. That can only mean one thing. Cold weather is approaching! Don’t be distracted by the beautiful autumn weather; now is the time to prepare your home for the cold to help protect your comfort and costs this winter.

 

Your friends at Fairclough Fuel are working hard to prepare our technicians for the cold weather ahead, but we also want to remind you of steps you can take to prepare for fall and winter.

 

3 Tips to Prepare You for Fall!

 

  1. Schedule a heating oil delivery: The cold weather won’t wait to come to town until you and your home are ready! It’s important to fill your tank up before winter takes hold, and heating oil prices have historically increased as the temperatures drop. 

  2. Seal doors and windows: Fall is a great time to check around your doors and windows for gaps and drafts. Drafty homes waste huge amounts of energy and raise your energy costs for no reason! If you do not want to pay to heat the whole neighborhood this winter, make sure you take the time to seal your doors and windows. 

  3. Schedule an equipment upgrade: If you noticed an unexplained increase in fuel costs last year or required more than your fair share of repairs, it could be time for a new system. New heating equipment is highly efficient and can reduce your energy costs in addition to improving your comfort.
