Fires and heaters

Electrical heaters use a lot of electricity and generate a lot of heat -two reasons to treat them with great care.

• Keep them clear of curtains and furniture
• Sit at least three feet (one metre) away
• Buy them from reputable shops
• Don't dry washing on or near heaters, or on fire guards
• Don't cover the air grilles of storage heaters, fan heaters and convection heaters
• Use a fireguard with a radiant fire, permanently if you have children
