As the crisp fall air rolls in and the leaves begin to change, it's a clear sign that winter is just around the corner. For homeowners in the Northeast and beyond, now is the time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. At Long Energy, we’re here to help you stay warm, safe, and energy-efficient all winter long.
Why Winter Prep Matters
Preparing your home for winter isn’t just about comfort—it’s also about safety, efficiency, and cost savings. Neglecting key home systems like your furnace or propane supply can lead to unexpected breakdowns, costly repairs, or even dangerous situations during frigid temperatures.
Furnace Tune-Up: A Must-Do Before the Freeze
Your furnace works hard all winter long. Giving it a professional tune-up in the fall ensures it runs safely and efficiently.
Benefits of a Furnace Tune-Up:
✅ Improved efficiency – Save on heating bills by ensuring your system runs optimally.
✅ Extended equipment life – Prevent breakdowns and extend the life of your furnace.
✅ Early issue detection – Catch small problems before they become major repairs.
✅ Better indoor air quality – Clean filters and parts reduce dust and allergens in your home.
Our HVAC technicians at Long Energy will clean your system, inspect for wear, test safety controls, and make sure your furnace is ready to handle whatever winter throws at it.
Don’t Let Your Propane Run Low
If your home runs on propane, winter prep means making sure your tank is full and properly monitored.
Propane Tips for Winter:
🛢️ Schedule your propane delivery early – Avoid delays during high-demand winter months.
📱 Use remote tank monitoring – Long Energy offers smart propane monitoring that alerts you when levels are low.
🌡️ Know your baseline – Understand your household’s winter usage so you’re never caught off guard.
Running out of propane can be a serious issue in winter—not only does it shut down your heating, but it may require a costly inspection and restart service. Long Energy's monitoring solutions make it easy to stay on top of your fuel levels.
