Hi alvin

I haven't been able to find anything specific around the use of heaters and COPD - general safety stuff - keeping it away from furnishings etc and i think they are not recommended for bedrooms because of the bed covers.

If you are using a heater in one room the temperature could potentially become very warm, our advice is 21c in your living areas and 18c in your bedroom. If it becomes too dry it may also be worth popping a small bowl of water to get a little moisture back into the air.

Ensure it has been serviced and with any heating try to have some ventilation.

As always give us a call - 03000 030 555.

Cheers

Jo

From experience, yes! Calor gas is liquid so it heats of course but also increases humidity. I find it hard to breathe using it. Used to heat entirely with it when i lived on boats many lives ago. The smell is horrid too.

Can only say my husband can't cope with them anymore - he always used one in his workshop but it just floors him now. Take care TAD xx
