Our Favourite Home Heating Tips for the Summer Months

While home heating might not be used during the summer months, there are a few things you can do to ensure that your system works effectively throughout the year. From replacing your system to budgeting for later oil deliveries, here are some tips to help you stay prepared all year round.

Make Major Changes Now

Purchasing a new system can be a great way to improve how quickly and efficiently your home warms up, especially in the winter months. However, the reliance on the system during the chillier seasons makes it difficult to replace, as it is needed around the clock. Instead, replace or repair your heating system during the summer, when the system is likely to get less use. 

Before getting started with the installation of a new home heating system, make sure to consider how it will be fuelled. Not all systems work the same way, so ensure that your current fuel supplier can continue to support you throughout the year with their services. 

Organise Your Oil Deliveries

Deliveries are an important part of making sure your household runs smoothly during the winter months. Thankfully, you should have plenty of time to prepare. The summer months are a fantastic chance for you to begin organising and arranging your needed deliveries to ensure you never run out of home heating oil during the winter seasons. 

When organising your oil deliveries, make sure to take into account how much oil you will be likely to use during that particular season. In the summer months, you are likely to require far less oil than during the busy festive seasons, so make sure to take advantage of the preparation time to adequately plan for the change. 

Carry Out an Inspection

While not in use, the summer is an excellent time to carry out maintenance checks on your home heating system. You can employ a professional to inspect your system, helping to ensure that it is functioning optimally and that it is not likely to break down when it is most needed. 

It’s similarly important to make sure that your oil tank is kept secure, otherwise, it may be left open to theft. Consider installing security measures during the summer months if you have yet to fully secure your tank. We would suggest adding in cameras and covers, to help deter thieves from attempting to steal from you.
