EAST Hours Call 725-2903 ee 4 a ment which it is burned in Heating oil is a relatively safe fuel since it is non - explosve, non-toxic and, in its inert state, non-inflammable, However, heating oil (No. 2 fuel oil) is distinct from other types of oil fuels used in the home--and it is particularly dif- ferent in the type of equipment in which it is burned. Heating oil (No. 2 fuel oil) is always burned in a central heat- ing plant consisting of automa- tic controls. This is the type of heating installed in the ma- jority of oil homes and particu- larly in the northern half of the country where full heating is re- quired. It is the type commonly understood when the term "'oil- heating" is used. EQUIPMENT USED Central oil heating has high relative safety. The following summarizes the technical rea- sons for this: Central oil heating consists of} an automatically operated heat- ing plant with three full groups! of electric controls. If manufactures heat by atom-) izing liquid fuel oil--breaking it up into particles and then mix- ing it with air -- within a com- pletely enclosed metal fire brick or similar material. Combustion occurs only when the balancedoil-air mixture is ignited by a controlled electric spark, This regulated heat in the fire chamber is transferred through special surfaces (never by di- rect contact) to one of three) transistor heat - carrying med-! jums. The three are warm air, hot water or steam--they carry the heat via enclosed ducts or pipes throughout the house. The heating oil (No. 2 fuel oil) is stored in a large, heavy gauge steel tank located com- pletely separate from the bur- ner. The oil is fed from this through piping to the burner al- ways under full regulation of the electric controls which shut it off at any time there is a malfunction. THE CONTROLS In automatic oil heating there are three interchecking electric controls: 1. The thermostat which is a thermometer equipped to send an electrical message to the heating plant to turn it on or off. 2. The basic combustion gon- trol sees that this message is executed only if there is the proper mixture of atomized oil and proper ignition. It will halt the burner temporarily or lock All these controls back eactileny array of new products, de- loth | other up, so that if one misses.|signed to serve Mr. and Mrs,|"at¢r heaters, clothes dryers,| berg is? bape ne.

To sum up, the basic charac- teristics of heating oil and the automatic, electrically-con- trolled equipment in which it is burned are such that a central oil heating plant accident, even if it should occur, will rarely set fire to a house and will not cause an explosion. Minor acci- dents can occur, but serious in- Want Competent Heating it off on "'safety" if all condi- tions are not right. This control jury or major damage are high- ly infrequent. Strong Plea Is Made For Adaptable Furnace New heating units must be able to do more than just heat a home! The old concept of having a furnace only to keep you warm is giving way to complete comfort the year round. A good furnace, for example, must be able to "adapt" to summer air conditioning with a minimum of added expense. Then, too, a wide variety of other climate control features| may be added to do more than provide just temperature con- trol. Electronic air cleaning, odor-removal and humidity con- trol are a few of the extra jobs being given to the familiar fur-| nace, How well you 'treat' the air depends upon . the optional equipment you add.
