06Our Commitment to Responsible Product Information
Some products require careful consideration before purchase, particularly those involving heating systems, combustion appliances, electrical installations, or fuel-powered equipment.
We encourage customers to review product specifications, compatibility requirements, and safety guidance before ordering.
For example
Fireplaces and Wood Stoves: Installation and use must comply with applicable building, ventilation, and fire safety requirements.
Generators: Fuel-burning generators must never be operated indoors or in enclosed spaces due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Water Heaters and Boilers: Gas appliances must be installed or serviced by appropriately Gas Safe registered engineers where required. Electrical installations must comply with applicable safety requirements.
Saunas: Electrical connections, ventilation, and installation must follow manufacturer instructions and relevant safety standards.
Our customer support team can assist with general product information, but it does not replace the advice of a qualified installer or technical professional.
