They say the best things in life are free and now you can get your hands on a freebie that could also save your life.

Swale Heating is giving away carbon monoxide monitors to customers in a bid to keep Dartford homes safe.

Matthew Edwards, sales director, said: “Carbon monoxide (CO) is a killer. You can’t smell it, taste it or see it and around 40 people every year die as a result.

"The NHS says that, on average, four people every day have to go to A&E with suspected CO poisoning yet figures show only half the homes in the UK have a CO monitor fitted.

“So if you live in Dartford and buy a boiler from Swale Heating during Gas Safety Week in September, we’ll give you a free CO monitor. It might just save your life.”

Gas Safety Week is a nationwide campaign that runs from Monday, September 19.
