Registering your appliance’s details is now as vital a safety precaution as fitting life-saving smoke alarms.

It applies whether you are a home owner, tenant or landlord.

Safety recalls on appliances are rare, but if a problem arose it’s crucial the appliance can be located and a free repair made.

And there is no better – or easier – way to instantly be on the manufacturer’s radar than to take a few seconds on www.registermyappliance.org.uk registering each appliance.

Once registered, in the rare instance of a safety repair, a qualified engineer would visit to perform a quick fix, making the product safe for the rest of its working life. It is a simple means to ensure safety.

There are 170 million large appliances in use in UK homes. Multiple ownership is now common – over 2 million freezers are now in four-freezer households.

We rely on such domestic appliances daily for important jobs – chilling food, cooking, cleaning and washing. And it doesn’t matter if your appliance is not new – you can register appliances up to 12 years old.
So it makes sense to minimise risk by registering as many products as you can. Make 2019 your safest year yet by visiting www.registermyappliance.org.uk.
