Check the boiler overhaul with these rules of thumb

Another 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 boilers who dole out easy money. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. To avoid being dodged by a fraud, it is essential to know the ABC of gas boiler servicing, and this guide has everything that you need to know about how your heating engineer tackles gas boiler repair and maintenance. It won’t earn you a CORGI registration, but it will furnish you with enough knowledge and information to ask questions as they work, and make them think twice about ripping you off.

Keep the following points in mind when the heating engineer starts working.

- Has he checked the flue output of the gas boiler?.

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

- Broken parts must be replaced with new components.

- All the parts of the central heating boiler and their proper operation must be checked.

- Main gas boiler parts should be taken apart and cleaned.

At the very least, your gas boiler plumber should fulfill these requirements before you can be satisfied that they are doing their job properly. Before you even contact a company to service your gas boiler, you must ensure that they have a recent CORGI certificate. The CORGI logo will appear in their advert if they have bought space in the national Yellow Pages – firms with a bigger advert will generally have more money, more experience and a better reputation. At the end of the day, disreputable plumbers can only be so successful. 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 central heating boiler. In this site you will not only find more advice to help you with boiler maintenance, but also up to date promotions on heating goods endorsed by professionals in the trade.
