My wifes mother is getting quite old and no longer has complete control of her bladder. She uses an electric blanket that is rated for continuous usage but it is now several years old.
SEQEB (now Energex) in Queensland used to do free testing of electric blankets but when my wife phoned to ask about the service she was told it was no longer available.
I myself had a VERY bad experience with an electric blanket that caught fire due to a faulty switch. It burnt out the bedroom before I could get it under control.
So my question is: Is it worth getting a blanket tested in view of the fact that generally only a megger test is done and no other physical testing is possible other than a visible inspection for burnt or otherwise worn areas?
