Calor Gas Fire

We have a Calor gas fire in the cellar which was left here from the previous owners. It is so cold that we want to give it a go. Should it be checked out before using it??
Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    If your not sure then get it checked...up to you really as portable appliances such as these are not covered by the GSIURegs.

    Be very careful if it is an older type of appliance which doesnt contain an anti vitiation sensor.

    Butane/Propane has much higher combustion air requirements than natural gas so light one of these up in a room with the windows closed and you will soon feel queasy...erm...and then possibly worse.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    You don't say approx age of fire, if old, may have old style regulator installed?

    If new standard type, check flexi pipe, this can perish and leak, this is my 2p worth, others with more knowledge on burners will no doubt chip.

    I have one in my workshop here at home, today I called around for a replacement Calor 15kg cylinder, £30.00 I was quoted. Price was enough for me to decide to stay in the house :)
