Many homeowners assume that winter is the only time of year that they’ll need to stock up on heating oil. However, you should schedule fuel deliveries to fill your tank even in spring. Here’s why heating oil is still important post-winter. 

The Benefits of Filling Your Heating Oil Tank in the Spring

Why Heating Oil Is Still Necessary 

Even though spring does promise warmer temperatures than the months behind you, the weather is still unpredictable. You may think it’s warming up, but cold can still come without warning. To stay safe and comfortable, it’s important to be prepared to handle unexpected cold days in early spring.

Keeping your home warm will also prevent condensation from building up that could promote mold and mildew growth inside your house. This improves your air quality so everyone can breathe easier without allergy symptoms. Also, some homes use their heating oil to fuel their water heater as well; if this is the case for your home, then you’ll need oil year-round.

Why You Should Fill the Tank Now

Filling up your tank completely is beneficial even nearing the end of spring when you do not expect to be using any more oil. Letting your tank run dry causes the sludge at the bottom to be pulled through your heating system, clogging it. Also, you’ll be able to take advantage of the dropping oil prices during spring. When the time comes to use your oil again—whether that’s in a few days or six months—you can turn on your heating system worry-free.
