Observe that gas boiler service engineer

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. Your central heating boiler has been warming your home and heart for years now, but you have absolutely no idea of how it works. More to the point, does the engineer know enough? If you adhere to these gas 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 engineers while they work so that you don’t fall easy prey to their money rip-off tactics.

Use the following guide as a checklist when your engineer starts work.

- The boiler flue output must be analysed properly, so make sure he doesn’t miss out on that.

- Has all the pipework been inspected? The gas boiler ventilation should be checked.

- Broken parts must be replaced with new components.

- All heating boiler components and required functionality must be tested.

- Disassembly and cleaning of all key component parts.

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. You should make sure that the company have a CORGI certificate prior to contacting them about your boiler. If they have an advert in the Yellow Pages, the CORGI logo will be displayed there – larger adverts generally indicate the depth of the company’s capital, experience and reputation. Swindlers cannot go too far with a truck load of immorality. But a new generation of cons will move in to take the place of the old ones, so our checklist will assist you to identify such dangers when you bring in an engineer to work on your boiler.
