Why upgrade your Boiler?
It’s a good idea to upgrade your boiler for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, you can significantly reduce your energy consumption which translates into lower energy bills.
Secondly, it’s an environmentally-friendly move, reducing carbon emissions and helping the UK to meet its climate change targets.
Thirdly, newer boiler systems tend to require fewer repairs and maintenance, saving you money and hassle in the long term.
Lastly, upgrading your boiler can increase the value of your property, making it a sound investment.

Gas safety check

An annual gas safety check is a yearly inspection of all gas appliances in a home. If you use gas appliances it’s a good idea to get them checked by a Gas Safe engineer.
What’s included in a gas safety check?

With each annual inspection, a Gas Safe engineer will look to ensure the following:
•Appliances are working at the correct pressure.
•Appliances are burning gas properly.
•There’s adequate air supply to appliances.
•Flues and chimneys are clear so gases and fumes can safely discharge.
•Safety devices on appliances are working as they should.
•The installation is safe and suitable for the location.

Thermostats in your home improve heating control.

Using a heating controller with thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) and a room thermostat allows you to set the temperature in each room separately. Each TRV shuts off its radiator from the heating when the air around the valve reaches the desired temperature. Generally people prefer sleeping areas to be about 2 degrees C cooler than living areas so by using TRVs can improve comfort levels. Once each room is at the desired temperature and all the TRVs have shut off their radiators then a room thermostat, placed near one radiator without a TRV, can switch the entire boiler system off. This saves money as well as keeping the temperature at the right level. Also TRVs in rooms used only occasionally such as a spare room for guests, can be set at a low level so the room is not heated unnecessarily.
For further guidance you can contact us, or your local heating engineer.

OCD Great project

A huge gas explosion this week.
A stark reminder of what can happen when things go seriously wrong. Details unclear of what caused the explosion however a clear reminder of why we work safely, follow the procedures and do not cut corners when working with gas.

Due to the amount of coverage this is getting I thought it maybe an idea to share some advice if you suspect a gas escape at your property.

Do:

•Open doors and windows to allow fresh air in.
•Turn off the gas at the emergency control valve which is usually near the meter. Move the handle a quarter turn until it's at 90 degrees from the pipe to shut off the gas supply.
•Leave the property.
•Phone the National Gas Emergencies number on 0800 111 999. Only use a mobile phone from outside the property. The number is free and available 24 hours a day.
•Follow the advice given by the emergency adviser.
•Wait outside for a gas engineer to arrive.
•If you are feeling unwell, visit your GP or hospital immediately. Tell them you may have been exposed to a gas leak or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Don’t:

•Smoke, light a match or use any other naked flame.
•Turn any electrical switches on or off.
•Use doorbells, mobile phones or any other electrical switches which could cause a spark.
