A gas boiler goes down suddenly and a con artist conveniently enters to clean up your cash. And what are they getting paid for? People with faulty central heating boilers are easy targets for untrustworthy engineers trying to cash in on your lack of knowledge. Even though your heating system is an integral part of your home, there is a fair chance that you know very little about how it 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 boiler repair and maintenance. Our basic guide may not qualify you as a CORGI expert, but you will be able to talk about gas boilers like a pro, and that will ensure the ‘RipoffMan’ does his job properly and at reasonable cost.
Use the following guide as a checklist when your plumber starts work.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- Has heshe looked at the pipework? Ventilation must also be examined.
- Make sure that all the faulty component parts are replaced with new parts.
- All the parts of the boiler and their proper operation must be checked.
- Disassembly and cleaning of all key components.
These are the basic requirements that the plumbers must fulfill before you can consider their work as satisfactory. Make sure that the repair company holds CORGI certification even before you call them up. You can notice the CORGI logo in their advert in the Yellow pages, companies which have a better reputation and are more experienced tend to have a bigger advert. The engineers or cowboys as we call them can not get too far with their below average work and do not spend large sums of money on advertising. 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 gas boiler.
