How to prepare for the heating season
Preparing for the heating season is more than buying fuel. Check the appliance, storage area and delivery plan before cold weather arrives.
Service the appliance
Follow the manufacturer service schedule and arrange chimney or flue checks according to local requirements.
Review your fuel stock
Use actual previous consumption as a guide and avoid universal quantity claims.
Prepare storage
Pellets and briquettes need dry storage; firewood needs protection from rain and airflow.
FAQ
Must the full season supply be bought at once?
Not necessarily. If consumption history is uncertain, replenish gradually.
When should delivery be planned?
Before sustained cold weather, once the storage area is ready.
