It is a wise precaution to inform your electricity supplier that you use an oxygen concentrator so that should the power supply be interrupted they are aware of your specialeeds.
It is important to notify your Insurers that you have oxygen in your home. This should not affect your insurance premium but will ensure you are fully covered if you need to make a claim.
You will appreciate that in order to provide the Vitalair oxygen servce; we need to hold important personal data about your oxygen needs.

You have a right under the Data Protection Act (DPA) to see the personal data that we hold and process. Should you wish to do so then please contact the Support Services & Programme Manager, BOC Gases, Priestley Road, Worsley, Manchester M28 2UT
Please remember to advise us if you are planning to change your address or telephone number. This is critical to ensure that we maintain regular oxygen supplies and service requirements.
