6 Things You Didn't Know About Your Calor Gas Heater (Before a UK Winter Power Cut)

Before the next winter power cut, I explain the six things you need to know to use a Calor gas heater safely and effectively. I cover regulator and hose checks, butane versus propane, cylinder storage, fuel calculations, changing cylinders in the dark, and how to choose and prepare one room for heating. I also explain why ventilation matters and why the heater’s oxygen depletion sensor is not a carbon monoxide alarm. I share practical checks to do before winter, including testing connections, checking your cylinders, fitting a fresh battery in a carbon monoxide alarm, and knowing when the heater must be switched off.
