Is your boiler going to blow up soon and are you going to spend your hard earned money to get it fixed?. But why do you need to spend so much? Repairing central heating boilers is probably the easiest way for rogue plumbers to make some money. You use the gas boiler practically everyday for so many different purposes, yet you know nothing about it; this ignorance gives chance to the plumber to play the trick. 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 central heating boiler servicing. The first thing a plumber should be is registered at CORGI; here they will get a lot of information about boiler maintenance, ask the plumber appropriate questions about their CORGI registration, and persuade him to think twice before making a fool out of you.
As the engineer starts working on your central heating boiler, use the checklist in the guide to find out whether he working properly or not.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- 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.
- Has the heating engineer tested all the components of the gas boiler and evaluated their functionality?.
- Key parts should be removed and reinstalled after cleaning.
These steps must be performed by your heating engineer at the very least for you to know the engineer is compliant with the proper standards. Before you even contact a company to service your heating boiler, you must ensure that they have a recent CORGI certificate. If they have an advert in the Yellow Pages, the CORGI logo will be displayed there – larger adverts generally indicate the depth of the company’s capital, experience and reputation. At the end of the day, disreputable plumbers can only be so successful. New ones will appear to replace the old ones, so with the help of our checklist, be alert and prepared before you allow an unknown heating engineer to perform work.
