Spring is officially here, and now is the perfect time to go around your home and see what needs repairs or maintenance after the harsh winter season. After all, the early bird gets the worm when it comes to home maintenance. To keep your property looking and functioning great, here are three ways to prepare your home for spring.

1. Install a New Air Conditioning System

If your air conditioning system was on the fritz last summer and you've been waiting to have your new one installed, spring is the optimal time to get your installation rolling. Spring installations ensure your property will be comfortable when the warmer weather officially arrives without having to sweat through any waiting periods. What's more, a new air conditioning system will be energy efficient compared to your old one, which will help to keep your energy costs down.

2. Replenish Your Heating Oil

If you use heating oil to heat your home, you're not alone. According to the USEIA, up to 5 million households in the U.S. use heating oil in their homes, and chances are you stocked up on your heating oil during the winter season. During the spring, you still need that heating oil to keep your water running at the right temperature. Use this time to replenish your stock and arrange for a heating oil delivery at your convenience.

3. Set Up New Heating Equipment

Winter can take a toll on your home and your heating equipment. Now that spring is here, it can be all too easy to put any new installations you may need on the back burner because you won't need your heating equipment again until fall arrives. However, it's best to be proactive to ensure your home is in great condition when the cooler seasons come back again. Consider replacing your home's heating equipment now rather than later, so you don't need to worry about system failures when you need your system the most.
