Keeping the heat on and water warm

Chilly temperatures are expected this time of the year.

VP of Operations Barry Boehlke of Boehlke Bottled Gas told WTKM News about some ways that help their service during the winter season.

"This is Wisconsin, we are used to the weather. We make sure we are ready to go when cold weather comes. People should know, certainly this time of the year to please keep access to the tank clear. We will keep delivering and keep the heat on and water on."

They recommend keeping your thermostat set to a minimum of 60. During the extreme cold, they suggest raising the temperature a few degrees higher. 

If you're worried about your pipes freezing, open the water faucets slightly to maintain a slow drip.
