Tackle These Home Tasks Before Summer Officially Starts in New England

June 9, 2025

When summer is on the horizon, the days can really start to heat up, especially if you live in Massachusetts or Connecticut. While we enjoy the warm weather we get in June, especially after snowy winters, there are important maintenance tasks to do before summer officially starts. Read this blog from PayLessforOil.com to learn what should be on your pre-summer to-do list.

1. Evaluate Your HVAC Equipment

How did your heating and A/C systems do this past year? If one or both of your systems is due for an upgrade, now would be a great time to take care of that. Upgrading to a new HVAC system can reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint. When reviewing your system’s performance, consider these factors:

Age of the unit: Both A/C and heating systems can last between 10 and 20 years. If your system falls within this age range, start thinking about replacing it.
Performance decline: Older HVAC systems lose their ability to keep your home comfortable while also running efficiently. This is especially true of units which have not received proper maintenance over their lifespan.
Cost and frequency of repairs: Sometimes the cost to repair your existing A/C or heating unit is higher than replacing it with a new model, or small repair costs start to add up to a big bill.

3. Fill Up Your Heating Oil Tank

When heating oil tanks are not kept filled over the warmer summer months, they can collect condensation inside. This moisture eats away at the metal of the tank, resulting in rust, corrosion, and potential leaks. You can protect your oil tank against this corrosion by keeping it topped off in the summertime.
