Oil Heat has been keeping families throughout our region and our country safe for generations. It is a reliable and trusted source of comfort with a proven record of safety. Even the Statue of Liberty uses oil heat to warm her many visitors each year. Here are just a few more reasons why oil is your safest source of comfort.

1.) Heating oil is among the safest of energy options since it is non-flammable in a liquid state. It cannot ignite until it reaches a temperature of at least 140 degrees F. And even then it would be virtually impossible for it to ignite, since it would evaporate first.

2.) In addition, with home heating oil systems, carbon monoxide leaks are a rare occurrence. This is because smoke and soot generally provide an indication that there is a problem long before carbon monoxide is released.

3.) Finally, your oil heat provider has an ongoing relationship with you. The majority of fuel oil customers have been so for many years and have a long-standing familiarity with their dealer. And since regular deliveries are required, your dealer can continue to monitor any changes or problems which arise as well as remind you of regular cleanings, etc.
