My mum nearly had a bad accident with her gas heater because she didn’t realise they needed regular servicing. Scared stuff!

Great Advice … it could save lives.

this is a great reminder! it is not something that many people think of to do

nice story i enjoyed it

We get our gas heaters checked but have never thought of CO test before.

Good advice, something I really never think about.

We had a gas heater in our last house, and had it serviced regularly. A friend of mine made fun of me for this, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Now our house is all electric, so I make sure all our heaters are cleaned and checked each year before we use them.

Always good to get your heaters checked. A simple check that means your family is safe.

this is some smart advice

Thanks for your timely advice.

Thank you for your good reminder

we had ours checked when it was repaired. thankfully all was ok

this is very important info

yes defiantly a good reminder to everyone

Unfortunately we still hear so many heater related deaths each year!

Thanks for sharing this as it is a wonderful reminder so everyone stays safe.

Luckily we dont need heaters where i live but i remember this happening to a girl next door when i was younger.

and if you have a fireplace you should also get the chimney cleaned too

Thanks for the great post and advice, a little money spent now is better than a lot spent for a funeral (sorry for being grim) but winter is notorious for deaths due to house firers.

some great advice for families there, i think a lot of people steer clear of getting things serviced because of costs really annoys me when service men charge so much because they know it needs to be done.
