Carbon monoxide risk from ‘open-flued’ gas space heaters

There is an increased risk of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from domestic gas heaters during winter.

'Open-flued' gas heaters, especially Vulcan or Pyrox Heritage gas space heaters, should not be used due to possible unsafe levels of carbon monoxide under certain conditions.

All gas heaters, especially open-flued heaters, should be serviced at least once every two years by a qualified gasfitter.
