Boiler Efficiency and Safety

It is highly recommended to ensure your boiler is correctly maintained. And in order to achieve this manufacturers do recommend they are checked annually according to normal use. It is a good idea not only to maintain it’s efficiency and correct functions but also it’s safety. We are all too well aware of how many bad boiler installations there are.

Unfortunately as well as the gas industry is regulated there are still a number of individuals known as ‘Cowboys’ doing gas related work. As these individuals are not trained and kept up to date with industry standards it is a high risk to trust their workmanship. If in doubt - we can check your appliance over for installation faults which may make the appliance unsafe to run putting you in harms way.
