Your home’s heating oil tank is probably the last thing on many homeowners’ minds during the sweltering summer months. However, the warm season is an ideal time to refill your tank. Not only can you rest assured you’ll be ready to go once cold weather is back on the radar, but a summer fill-up also offers many other benefits. 

3 Reasons to Fill Your Heating Oil Tank in the Summer

1. Increased Supply

Most people wait until fall before filling up their heating oil tank. At this point in the year, many other homeowners have the same idea, which means that supplies will be much lower than they are now. While you’ll still receive your heating oil, there may be a delay between when you call for service and when you actually receive it. In the event of unseasonably cold weather, a delay will prove highly inconvenient. 

2. Easier Scheduling

In the same token, it will be much harder to schedule an appointment later in the year. Fuel delivery services will be privy to orders from homeowners all over town, which means there will be a long wait for your tank to be filled up. Calling now ensures your home will be serviced as soon as possible. 

3. Cost-Savings

Even if your heating oil is available at a reasonable price during winter, off-season prices tend to be a lot lower since the demand for heating oil is less during the warm weather months. You can take advantage of these prices by arranging a fill-up now, as opposed to waiting until demand increases again.
