I just had a vent-free natural gas heater installed (a wall unit). I have an old gas furnace in the basement-the installer spliced a line from the furnace gas line to the new unit, with it's own on-off switch. What I'm wondering is, should I turn the pilot light off if i will be gone for 1 or 2 days? There is a control knob on top, so I think I can manage turning it on & off. Also should I turn off the gas flow at the same time? I have never had a pilot light burning in the house, that's why I am concerned-it just seems strange to leave for the day with that flame burning. . Really, are those lights safe, in regard to fire and leaks? It's a DynaGlo unit, from Lowe's. This probably sounds paranoid, but I am really concerned about fire, and gas leaks. Thank you for any help!
