Heating a home with oil is a safe and reliable way to stay warm during winter. It’s important for every home owner to know how to keep their fuel oil and equipment burning and functioning safely.
Fuel Oil Safety Tips:
- Be sure the vent alarm is working properly. A professional is trained to listen for this alarm when filling the tank to prevent overfilling.
- It is recommended you have your home heating oil tank inspected and cleaned annually to ensure the safety of all who live in the home.
- If you find your heating oil tank is leaking, immediately call a professional.
- Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment.
