Another gas boiler on the blink, another rogue waiting to ride into town and relieve you of your scarce cash. And why is that? Sham engineers are on the hound for innocent victims with broken central heating boilers who dole out easy money. It is an essential part of your house but do you really know how your gas central heating works?. The question is, does the gas engineer? If you want to ensure that the only thing being taken for a ride by the latest cowboy is his old white van, then follow our basic guide to boiler servicing. The first thing a plumber should be is registered at CORGI; here they will get a lot of information about boiler maintenance, ask the engineer appropriate questions about their CORGI registration, and persuade him to think twice before making a fool out of you.
Once your maintenance man begins, keep these bullet points in mind.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- Has all the pipework been inspected? The heating boiler ventilation should be checked.
- Any parts not functioning properly should be replaced.
- Every part should be checked to be working properly.
- Key parts should be removed and reinstalled after cleaning.
These steps must be performed by your engineer at the very least for you to know the engineer is compliant with the proper standards. Make sure that the repair company holds CORGI certification even before you call them up. You have looked up boiler repair companies in the Yellow Pages – if they have CORGI certification, their name will be accompanied by the CORGI logo; also remember that larger ads often mean those firms are more experienced and reputed. There is a limit to how long a con artist can sustain his scam after all. 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.
