Boiler overhaul guidelines
So your gas boiler has packed in and disreputable plumbers are lining up to take your money out of your hands. And what are they getting paid for? People with faulty heating boilers are easy targets for untrustworthy plumbers trying to cash in on your lack of knowledge. It’s the heart and hearth of your home, but you probably know nothing about what makes that gas boiler tick. More to the point, does the engineer know enough? If you adhere to these boiler maintenance tips you could prevent any so-called professionals from taking advantage of you. A CORGI registration won’t be on the way for you, but you will get a solid understanding of the field and learn a good deal of the technical jargon allowing you to pose questions to gas engineers while they work so that you don’t fall easy prey to their money rip-off tactics.
Keep the following points in mind when the heating engineer starts working.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- The pipework and ventilation should be thoroughly checked.
- Make sure that all the faulty components are replaced with new parts.
- Ensure that every part of the central heating boiler is in good condition and working efficiently.
- Main gas boiler parts should be taken apart and cleaned.
These main points are the minimum that the central heating plumber should do as a matter of course and for you to be certain that they are acting professionally. Make sure that the repair company holds CORGI certification even before you call them up. The advertisement of the company in the yellow pages should also have the CORGI logo; moreover, as a rule, companies with bigger advertisements have more money and more experience. Fly by night operators sometimes get away with a con job, but not for long. Unfortunately old rogue traders are replaced by the new ones every week, so with the help of these tips you can ensure that your gas boiler is being serviced properly.
