Last weekend, a dear friend asked me to look at his gas room heater.
This is an image of the gas room heater. See the scorch marks on the left.
We opened the heater to have a good look inside. The motor had overheated and started to melt the casing.
It was a disaster waiting to happen!
Fortunately a tradesman working next door was quickly on the scene and disconnected the gas appliance from the gas supply. Preventing a potential fire!
Dust buildup will cause problems like this.
As the days get colder and we turn to our gas room heating appliances to keep us warm, Please dust them, make sure you can disconnect them from your gas bayonet fittings with ease.
If you are unsure, get a competent licensed gasfitter to check them before you use them.
