The guide to a skilled gas boiler inspection and repair







The guide to a skilled gas boiler inspection and repair

Another heating boiler on the blink, another rogue waiting to ride into town and relieve you of your scarce cash. A homeowner with a dead boiler is just what unscrupulous repair engineers love-easy money for a lousy quick fix job. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi 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 gas boiler servicing. Of course you are not going to get a CORGI registration for that but it will make sure that the gas engineers do not fool you and you are able to ask them relevant questions.

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

- Did the engineer check the central heating boiler vent?.

- Has he checked the piping? Ensure that the vents are checked and cleared.

- Make sure that all the faulty component parts are replaced with new parts.

- Each and every component of the central heating boiler must be checked and tested.

- Major systems of the gas boiler must be overhauled thoroughly.

If your repairman is going through all these steps systematically, you know he is doing a good job. Make sure that the repair company holds CORGI certification even before you call them up. You have looked up gas 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. Fly by night operators sometimes get away with a con job, but not for long. However, there are always new rogues waiting to fill the old ones’ boots, so always be cautious before contracting a gas boiler service and maintenance heating engineer. You can seek further gas boiler maintenance advice from this site where you will find the latest offers on central heating products and servicing by trusted heating engineers.
