Oilheat Is Safe

In order to light heating oil on fire, you must heat it above 140°F, the temperature at which it begins to vaporize ... it will not burn in the liquid state. For instance, if you were to drop a match into Oilheat, it would go out as if it were dropped into water. Also, Oilheat warns you about carbon monoxide. The possibility of deadly carbon monoxide gas entering the home from an oil burner is extremely low, however, should an Oilheat burner malfunction, smoke is generated before carbon monoxide is released — a clear warning a homeowner can see.
