- Check your electric blanket for hot spots or damage before you use it for the winter season. Turn it on high for 15 minutes, turn it off, then feel for any unusually hot spots that indicate it needs to be replaced.
- Get your gas appliances repaired, monitored and/or installed by a licensed gas fitter. It’s the law.
- If your electronics have any damage or any rattling parts, don’t use them. Replace them or get them professionally repaired.
- Always plug heaters into wall sockets, not multiboards.
- If you smell gas inside, immediately get outside and call 111 or your gas supplier.
- Turn off electric blankets before you get into bed.
- Make sure there is a metre of space around heaters.
