Landlord duties for LPG appliances are the same as for natural gas. The landlord must arrange for maintenance by a CORGI-registered installer for all LPG appliances which they own and provide for tenants and have a CORGI-registered installer carry out a safety check at least once every 12 months. In addition to maintenance, there are some further safety precautions to take with LPG heaters: • be aware that cabinet heaters need a good supply of fresh air to burn properly so the room must be well ventilated; • ensure any heaters have an atmospheric sensing device- it will shut the appliance off if the air quality is poor; • Ensure that the correct size and type of gas bottle is being used; • Be aware that outdoor heaters and not designed for use indoors.
