When summer hits Connecticut, staying cool is only part of the equation — managing indoor humidity is just as important. What many homeowners don’t realize is that a high-efficiency air conditioning system can remove up to 10 gallons of moisture from your home daily. That’s more than 80 pounds of water pulled from the air — making your home feel cooler, healthier, and more energy-efficient.

Why Does Humidity Control Matter?

Too much moisture in the air can:

Make your home feel sticky and uncomfortable
Encourage mold, mildew, and dust mites
Damage wood floors, furniture, and electronics
Force your AC to work harder, increasing energy costs

By pulling moisture from the air, your AC system helps maintain a balanced indoor climate — one that’s easier to cool and healthier to live in.

How Efficient AC Systems Help

Modern AC systems are built to run longer, more efficient cycles. This not only cools your home but gives the system more time to extract humidity from the air.

At Servco Oil & Propane, we install and service both Ruud and Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning systems — brands known for delivering exceptional comfort and energy savings.

Ruud Central AC Systems provide whole-home cooling and strong dehumidification capabilities.
Mitsubishi Electric Ductless Mini-Splits offer zoned comfort with enhanced moisture control features — including a dry mode that removes humidity without overcooling your space.

Whether or not your home has ductwork, we can design a solution that fits your needs.

Don’t Let Excess Humidity Ruin Your Summer

If your current system is outdated, oversized, or struggling to keep up, it may be time to upgrade. A high-efficiency AC system does more than cool your home — it improves air quality, reduces moisture-related damage, and can help cut down on energy bills.

Count on Servco for Reliable Installation & Service

Servco Oil & Propane has been keeping Connecticut families comfortable for decades. Whether you’re looking to replace your existing system or install a new one, our experienced team is here to help you find the right fit — and keep it running at its best.

As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, there’s nothing quite like spending time outside. Whether you’re grilling for friends, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a quiet evening by the firepit, your backyard can become the heart of your summer. And at the center of it all? Propane — a clean, reliable energy source that can power your entire outdoor space with ease.

At Servco Oil & Propane, we believe propane is more than just a fuel — it’s a simple way to enhance your comfort, elevate your outdoor experience, and power the moments that matter. Here’s how propane can transform your backyard and why more Connecticut homeowners are choosing it to fuel their summer fun.

1. Cook Like a Pro with Propane Grills and Outdoor Kitchens

Nothing says summer like outdoor cooking. Propane grills offer fast, efficient heating and give you the control you need to master everything from burgers and steaks to veggies and seafood. Unlike charcoal, propane ignites quickly and maintains even heat, making cooking easy and cleanup minimal.

If you’ve invested in an outdoor kitchen, propane is the perfect fuel for built-in grills, side burners, and even pizza ovens. It delivers consistent performance — without spiking your electric bill — and ensures you’re never waiting on coals to heat. With reliable propane delivery from Servco, you’ll always be ready to fire up the grill.

2. Enjoy a Warm Pool, All Season Long

A backyard pool is a luxury — but a propane-powered pool heater takes it to the next level. Propane heaters warm water quickly and efficiently, extending your swim time into the cooler mornings or evenings.

Compared to electric heaters, propane units reach your desired temperature faster and perform better in New England’s unpredictable weather. Servco delivers fuel directly to your home so your pool stays perfectly comfortable throughout the summer.

3. Add Ambiance with Propane Fire Features

When the sun goes down, propane-powered fire pits and outdoor fireplaces keep the good times going. These features provide instant, smokeless flames that are easy to control and require little maintenance.

Whether you’re hosting guests or simply winding down after a long day, propane fire features add warmth and ambiance without the mess of wood or the hassle of lighter fluid. And with regular delivery from Servco, your backyard stays lit and inviting all season long.

4. Servco’s Simple Switch Program Makes It Easy to Upgrade

Already using propane, but tired of late deliveries or poor service? Our Simple Switch Program makes changing providers effortless. We handle the tank swap and perform a full safety inspection at no cost to you. Plus, enjoy special pricing on your first fill and no tank lease or monitoring fees for the first year.

With Servco, you get local, friendly support and dependable propane delivery — backed by decades of trusted service across Connecticut.

5. Propane Safety Tips to Keep in Mind

Propane is a safe, efficient fuel when used properly. As you prep your backyard for summer, follow these simple safety reminders:

Store propane cylinders upright and in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Keep tanks and appliances away from open flames and flammable materials.
Never use propane appliances indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Regularly inspect hoses and valves for signs of wear or leaks.
If you smell gas, shut off the source and contact a professional immediately.

Servco offers free safety inspections for new propane customers and ensures every tank and connection is properly installed and maintained.

Why You Should Schedule Your Annual Heating Tune-Up Before Winter Arrives

As the cooler months approach, ensuring your home remains warm and comfortable all winter long is essential. One of the best ways to prepare for the colder season is by scheduling an annual heating system tune-up. Regular maintenance of your heating unit offers numerous advantages that can save you time, money, and hassle throughout the winter.

1. Improved Efficiency
A well-maintained heating unit operates at peak efficiency, meaning it uses less fuel to produce the same amount of heat. This efficiency can lead to noticeable savings on your energy bills, making your home more cost-effective to heat.

2. Extended Equipment Lifespan
Routine maintenance helps reduce wear and tear on your heating unit, allowing it to last longer. By catching minor issues early, you can prevent them from becoming major problems that might shorten the lifespan of your system.

3. Reduced Risk of Breakdowns
During a tune-up, small problems can be identified and addressed before they escalate into costly breakdowns. This proactive approach reduces the chances of unexpected heating failures during the winter when you need your system the most.

4. Enhanced Air Quality
A clean heating system contributes to better indoor air quality. By ensuring air filters are clean and the system isn’t circulating dust, mold, or other pollutants, you create a healthier environment for you and your family.

5. Consistent and Reliable Heating
An annual tune-up ensures that your heating system is ready to deliver consistent and reliable warmth throughout the winter. With a well-maintained unit, you can enjoy a comfortable home without worrying about sudden temperature drops.

6. Environmental Benefits
A more efficient heating system not only saves on energy costs but also reduces your carbon footprint. Regular maintenance helps your system use fuel more efficiently, contributing to a more environmentally friendly home heating solution.

Preparing your heating system with an annual tune-up is a simple yet effective way to ensure your home stays cozy and energy-efficient all winter long. Taking these steps now will provide peace of mind, knowing that your heating system is ready to perform at its best when you need it most.
