I have the heater on the right and it has 3 settings totalling 4.2kw. If you use only the minimum setting (1 burner) then it’s 1.4kw. I only use this setting and on a 13kg bottle of gas I get approximately 120 hours of heating.

[@victoryfirst2878]

That is a lot of heating. How long for high setting ??? How about bottle cost ??? Thanks

[@katperson7332]

@@victoryfirst2878 I would imagine the highest setting would only give you about 40 hours of heat. I pay about £53 pounds to Flogas for a 13kg bottle this winter, which includes having an empty bottle to return, plus delivery charge and vat etc.

At night or leaving the house would you just turn the regulator off or disconnect it from the bottle?

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

Hi Steve I have a gas heater at home and I just turn off the regulator, but you can always disconnect the regulator from the bottle. Either way both are safe.

[@JamesBond-hy4kv]

Sounds like a good idea. Do I need to add any ventilation?

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

Yes you would only need to crack open your window slightly to keep a follow of air coming into your room or your internal door

Can you use a gas Safe bottle with these heater???

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

All Butane LPG bottles are safe to use when you buy from an authorized dealer

Hi are the more expensive ‘Provence’ heaters worth the extra money? The price is more than double and I would like to know why. Thank you

[@robertearthy7313]

The reason is that it's made of cast iron with a coal look affect

[@peterwright5249]

How much do these cost ? An how much is the bottles of gas ?

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

A heater package deal that includes the gas and bottle @ £199.00 to refill/exchange the bottle when empty works out to be £45.10. These bottles last approx, 100hrs on one burner 33 hours on all three burners. These heaters kick out 4.2kw of heat which can heat more than one room

[@katperson7332]

This winter I am charged about £53 approximately for a 13kg bottle from Flogas. That includes vat, a market fluctuations fee, plus delivery charge. That also includes having an empty bottle to return.

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

Gas bottle prices vary across the UK approximately £45.00 - £55.00 depending if want to include the delivery service. Please note it may sound expensive but heating up one room or two works out to be less expensive than having to heat your whole house/flat just for one room over 100 hrs

Cost of living crisis, but please don’t be tempted to use these gas bottle heaters in your home, accident waiting to happen

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

Good Morning Thank you for your comment, though all gas heaters have a safety cut off switch or flame failure safety device to prevent any accidents

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Mobile bottled gas heaters are only dangerous if you misuse them or improperly use them. Here are some safety tips - a) Face the heater into the centre of the room, and ensure a one metre clear space around it, ensuring there is nothing in the way to catch fire i.e. curtains, drapes, soft furnishings, toys etc, b) Open an inside door to allow the combustion products of water vapour and carbon dioxide to circulate freely and disperse, such as a kitchen door or stair door, c) If you have children and pets present, use the Lifestyle heater guard (purchased separately) to provide additional safety and protection, d) In non-heating season, like summer, have your heater annually inspected and serviced by a LPG qualified Gas Safe engineer or Calor Gas dealer (some of the bigger Calor dealers can carry this out often for a reasonable price), e) Always stand to the side of a mobile radiant gas heater when igniting it, unless it's a living flame heater with an enclosed burner inside a glass fronted door i.e. Provence or Thurcroft or Manhattan, the reason for this is that on radiant gas heaters, the gas can sometimes flare out, and melt your trousers, especially if the ignition is tardy with a delayed ignition, f) Turn off the regulator before the heater control knob (if fitted) when you have finished using the heater or are going to bed for the evening, as this allows the gas to burn out (you'll hear a whoosh or an audible pop) then turn off the control knob if fitted, g) Never move the heater whilst alight, h) Always regularly check the heater's flame for appearance, a blue flame means all is well, a blue flame with a slight yellow tip on the pilot may mean dust or dirt is in the pilot air venturi, a completely yellow pilot flame will often produce soot on the ceramic plaques with a radiant heater, and on living flame heaters may produce tall yellow flames with soot. N.B. In the event of the two second or third above flame conditions, turn off and seek assistance from a Calor Gas dealer or LPG qualified Gas Safe technician, i) Never attempt to dry clothes in front of your heater or drape anything over it, j) Do not attempt to stand in front of the heater when it's lit to try and get warm, k) And finally, it's a good idea to check the gas tubing regularly for wear, and if cracked or chafed, replace it with new LPG hose - this is readily available from bottled gas dealers / caravanning dealers / camping shops / welding equipment suppliers / engineers merchants etc or it can be ordered online if you wish. A mobile bottled gas heater is only really unsafe if it is improperly used or misused.

Would a carbon monoxide detector be advisable if using one of these in one room? Thanks.

[@ApsGardenMachinery]

If you will you need to have a monoxide detector than that's a peace of mind put at rest, though you are never needed to purchase one of all the years of selling these LPG cabinet heaters. As to regards to the cheapest it's certainly proven to be cost affective as you will heating one plus two rooms rather than the whole house. I hope that helps

[@alanjackson2540]

Brilliant advice. Thank you.@@ApsGardenMachinery
