Spring Outlook

By

Only in New England

Spring is rhere and it has felt like we've been in Spring off and on for the past couple of weeks. It sure has been an odd winter, like last year it was one for the record books. This winter we had the most days at 50 degrees or above during December, January, and February, but only in New England could you have a 50 degree day followed by negative 15...
As for this Spring it is shaping up to be warmer than average, just like our winter.  

While this is the average temperature is suppose to be higher than what we're use to, this doesn't mean that winter is going anywhere. We've seen temperatures this winter, since March is still winter, range from -14 to 75 here in New England. This weekend, as winter comes to its official end we could get a Nor'easter dumping a foot of snow on us.  Only in New England could we have one week where we see two days in a row in the 70's and most days in the week in the 50's and 60's and the following week see a snow storm.

 This kind of weather has many of us wondering how to prepare for this, myself I turned off my heat last week and have only periodically turned it back on at night. As we continue to see temperatures around or below freezing, make sure to keep an eye on your tank gauge. If you're current heating company has left you in the cold this winter or last, give us a call and see what ckSmithSuperior or Santoro Oil can do for you.

The thing that everyone can agree on is that heating your home while no one is there is a waste of energy and money. Programmable and smart thermostat allow you to set an away temperature. With programmable thermostat you have to manually go in to set the time for each day it's suppose to go to "away". Smart thermostats like the Nest learning thermostat learn over time based on a week or so of manual temperature changes. Other smart thermostats including the Nest will go into "away" mode based on a cellphone gps location. The upside of these is never having to manually change the thermostat.

By
Summer is Coming to a Quick End No matter what year after year, season after season, summer always goes by faster than any other season.
