While being comfortable during the winter is important, it’s crucial that you stay safe as well! To ensure you and your family’s safety, share these safety tips with your household:

• Have your heating system inspected and tuned by your Bioheat® fuel dealer annually.
• Keep flammable objects at least three feet away from your boiler or furnace.
• Establish a “kid free zone” around any heating equipment, including vents or radiators.
• Never use the stove or a portable space heater to help heat your home. Electric space heaters are not only expensive to operate, but are also very dangerous.
• Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly and change the batteries as needed. Replace smoke detectors every 10 years and carbon monoxide detectors every 5 years.

If you have any questions or concerns about winter fire safety, contact your local heating oil dealer.
