HOUSEHOLDERS are being warned against the dangers of DIY on home heating this summer by OFTEC, the trade body for the oil-fired heating industry.
Bodged jobs such as accidentally blocking up flues, incorrectly fitting new radiators and damaging boilers and oil tanks, are among potential hazards being flagged up.
