Outdoor heaters in firing line

Jul. 25 - Energy-saving groups are calling for an end to the use of energy-guzzling outdoor heaters.

Outdoor heaters are getting cheaper and more and more popular.

Research from the Energy Saving Trust says in the UK alone there are one-point-two million of them, and that number's set to double in the next three years.

The Trust warns they use far more gas than other home appliances, and consumers should re-think whether they need them at all.
