Answer

What heating systems can be risky in older Mallorca houses?

Older Mallorca homes often use wood stoves, butane heaters, or traditional tiled stoves instead of central heating. These systems can become dangerous if they are poorly maintained, installed badly, or used in rooms with limited ventilation. The main concern is incomplete combustion, which can create carbon monoxide.
