Spring Cleaning Tips for Your RI or MA Home
As the days get longer and temperatures rise, it’s time to shake off the winter blues and get your Rhode Island or Massachusetts home ready for spring. A thorough spring cleaning not only makes your home feel fresh and inviting but can also help improve energy efficiency, especially when it comes to your HVAC system and fuel usage. Here are some essential spring cleaning tips from Sunshine Fuels & Energy Services to keep your home comfortable, clean, and cost-effective.
Spring Cleaning Tips for a Fresh and Efficient Home
Schedule an HVAC Tune-Up
Your heating system has been working hard all winter long. Before you switch to air conditioning, schedule a professional tune-up with our partners at Pride Heating & Air Conditioning to ensure your system runs efficiently for the warmer months ahead. A technician will clean the unit, check for any safety issues, and replace air filters—helping to improve indoor air quality and reduce energy costs.
Seal Air Leaks and Check Insulation
Winter weather can take a toll on your home’s insulation and seals around windows and doors. Inspect for gaps or cracks that might be letting warm air in and cool air out. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal leaks, and check attic insulation to ensure it’s still effective.
Check Your Fuel Supply & Schedule a Spring Delivery
If you use oil or propane to heat your home or for appliances like water heaters, spring is a great time to check your fuel levels and schedule a delivery with Sunshine Fuels & Energy Services. If you haven’t already, consider signing up for automatic delivery to ensure you never run low.
Clean and Reverse Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans collect dust over time, which can spread allergens and reduce efficiency. Give your fans a good cleaning and then switch their direction for the warmer months when you set them to spin counterclockwise to create a cooling breeze. This helps reduce the strain on your air conditioning system, keeping your home comfortable while saving on energy bills.
