Have inherited a portable gas heater which is faulty and goes out after about 30 mins.
Where can I get it repaired?

If the heater starts ok and runs ok for 30mins. It may be fitted with an oxygen depletion sensor. If so the reason it goes out is a lack of oxygen in the room it is in. It could be trying to save your life!!! Mobile gas heaters are fine but they do not have a flue to take waste products away. If used in a small room with no ventilation carbon monoxide will soon build up in the room and starve the unit ( and occupants ) of oxygen. Be careful.

If you have not already got one - get a carbon monoxide alarm/checker now!!! Never run a gas heater or wood stove without having one - they do save lives and one of them could easily be yours!!!
No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.

Two really good pieces of advice fro Geoff1131 and Wado.
Don't look this as a fault but as described a life saver. To confirm this push the heater outside and see if the same "fault" exists!
