Old Asbestos Containing Storage Heaters.

Zoomup
I repaired an old storage heater today, and after further research I found this list of storage heaters that do and do not contain asbestos.

     I once took out some warm storage heater bricks and placed them on a customer's carpet whilst replacing a long storage heater spiral element. Because the bricks were warm they "ironed" rectangular patterns into the customers carpet. The customer was not pleased at all.

    Crikey, I hope you were wearing asbestos filled gloves or using industrial sized fire tongs!

    You might suggest that the client replaces the carpet with natural fibered material

    The storage heater and carpet owner has long gone to that warm Great Storage Heater Lounge in the sky.
