Before the Bell Rings

Because backpacks are not the only thing to get ready.

Backpacks? Packed.

Alarm clocks? Unfortunately, set.

There’s plenty to remember during back-to-school season. While you’re checking supply lists and updating the family calendar, add a few household essentials to the list before colder days arrive.

Check the Gauge

If you’re on our Smart Monitor or Flex Fill home heating plan, don’t forget to take a quick peek at your fuel levels. Scheduling a delivery now can help you avoid joining the rush when the first real cold snap reminds everyone else to check theirs.

Enrolled in Smart Fill, or set-it-and-forget-it plan? Consider this your reminder to confirm that your information is current, online bill pay is set up, and you’re ready for the season ahead.

Give Your Tank a Once-Over

No homework required. Just look for anything unusual around your fuel tank, including puddles, signs of leaking, or a lingering fuel smell. 

Not sure what your tank may be trying to tell you? Read over “Your Fuel Tank’s Telling You Something: 3 Signs to Watch For” for a quick lesson in tank talk.

Restock the “Just in Case” Supplies

While you’re buying pencils and glue sticks, check the supplies the whole household may need: batteries, flashlights, bottled water, nonperishable food, blankets, and charged power banks.

The school-year shuffle may be back, but getting ready for fall does not have to become another big assignment. A few quick steps now can help keep your household ready for whatever the semester brings.
