Can I Safely Turn Off The Pilot Light On My Propane Heater?

We have a vented wall mounted propane heater in the the basement for emergency winter use only. We have noticed that the pilot light burns a significant amount of propane during the summer months. Is it safe for me to turn off the pilot now and then back on later in the fall?

    yes. look for the control knob which will show- off/pilot/on. turn it to off then where the gas line comes in you should see a manual gas shut-off valve. turn it to opposite facing the gas line.

    Yes it is perfectly safe. Just be sure to turn off the gas supply to the heater as well.
