    Hi

    Does anybody know where to source a guard for a space heater as my insurance states I need one 1m around the heater but can’t find one. We tried a fireplace guard and it just melted [emoji23]

    Cheers

    Warren.

    Gas or diesel? I’ve got a Clarke one, had it ages but not really used it much, started using it recently but just wondered how much it costs on gas and a bit worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, thinking of buying infrared heaters instead. What do you do about the cold nights?

    I thought you had a heat pump system installed in your unit that also provided cooling in the summer. How well does it cope in cold weather? Presumably not very well if you are using a gas space heater?

    We have an air to air in offices and print room but in the fitting bay just a space heater and some small IR heaters for spot heating. We only heat the room when we have a vehicle in. It’s gas.
