The holiday season on Cape Cod is the prime time for gathering with family and friends, but the last thing you want to worry about is whether your home is ready to host guests. To ensure a smooth, warm, and comfortable experience for everyone, here are some tips from your friends at Falmouth Energy to help you prepare your home for holiday visitors. Follow our helpful guide, and you’ll keep your stress levels in check while you enjoy your celebration.

Our Top Tips to Make Holiday Hosting a Success

Sign Up for Automatic Fuel Delivery

Nothing derails a holiday gathering faster than running out of fuel in the middle of a party. Automatic fuel delivery from Falmouth Energy is a game-changer during the colder months because our program allows you to relax knowing we’re monitoring your usage and will deliver fuel before you run low.

Enroll in a Service Plan

Another smart move is to enroll in a home heating service plan from Falmouth Energy. Benefits of enrolling in one of our Efficiency Service Plans include:

  • Maximize system efficiency
  • Avoid unforeseen, expensive breakdowns
  • Extend equipment lifespan
  • Get discounts and coverage on parts and labor
  • Enjoy prompt and professional priority service

Shovel a Path to Your Fill Pipe

To ensure an efficient and safe fuel delivery, our drivers need access to your home’s fill pipe. Be sure to shovel and maintain a clear path to your fill pipe to make fuel deliveries easier and faster for everyone.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

Hosting guests can affect your home’s heating needs. With a programmable thermostat, you can easily adjust the temperature to suit your schedule and save on energy costs. Some thermostats even allow for remote control through your phone, giving you extra flexibility to manage your home’s comfort from anywhere.

Deep Clean and Declutter

A clean and organized home not only makes it easier to host guests, but it also allows you to focus on the festivities. Start by decluttering common areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. A deep clean, including dusting, vacuuming, and scrubbing surfaces, will create a fresh and welcoming environment for your holiday gatherings.

Stock Up on Essentials

Holiday hosting means lots of cooking, baking, and entertaining, so it’s important to make sure you have everything you need ahead of time. Keep essentials like paper towels, dish soap, extra blankets, and bathroom supplies on hand.
