Serene S2068 heaters are unsafe - Do Not Use!  With summer taking its own holiday today for a lot of the country, we could hear the whir of bathroom heaters starting up this chilly morning. But the events of last week served as a reminder to recheck your bathroom heater. In the space of 24 hours crews in Christchurch attended two separate house fires involving Serene bathroom heaters. This follows a spate of similar fires involving Serene bathroom heaters last year. Work-safe have issued a number of notices in relation to safety concerns with Serene bathroom heaters which is linked below. If you have a Serene bathroom heater in your home: • Check if your heater is a Serene heater with the model number S2068. • If you have this heater, do not use it! Serene S2068 heaters are unsafe. Testing has found these heaters are non-compliant with safety standards. A series of fires and overheating incidents are associated with these heaters. • If it is installed in your property, get an electrical worker to make it safe by isolating it from the electrical supply, or contact your landlord to arrange this, and they can dispose of it safely. • The model number is located on a sticker on the top side of the heater. This can be difficult to read. A good tip to view the model number is to use your phone camera in selfie mode to view and take a photo of the label. • There is a significant risk of people being seriously harmed or property being damaged through use of these heaters. • If your heater is a Serene model S207T or S2069, Energy Safety considers there is a low risk from continued use. However, if you observe an unusual smell or noise from the heater, do not use it and contact an electrical worker to check it over. If you have any bathroom heater it is important to give it a vacuum from time to time to remove dust buildup. Bathroom heaters should not be left running when the bathroom is not in use. https://www.worksafe.govt.nz/.../further-action-on.../... Call us today: +64211432995 - [email protected]
