There are risks involved in almost any plumbing project that involves gas – from installing a new heating system to servicing the system. Leaking gas can cause serious health conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, which means that only fully qualified professionals should complete this type of work
Any home or business owner that is looking for plumbers in Manchester to complete any work on their gas appliances, should complete thorough research to ensure that they opt for a reliable, Gas Safe registered company. Further information about our services can be found on the Gas Safe register website.
Bad quality and unsafe plumbing works can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and subsequently, death. The danger of carbon monoxide is that it’s almost impossible to detect without the use of specialist equipment. Here at Registered Plumbers, we cannot stress enough the crucial importance of hiring engineers who are Gas Safe registered. This accreditation means that the chosen company is approved as safe by the official UK governing body to carry out gas work.
It is important to ensure you are in safe hands, especially in winter when it is important to have warmth and comfort. Before choosing a company to service your boiler, have a look at what else they have to offer. Make sure you choose a company that offers security that your boiler and central heating will last throughout the season, but offer a friendly, professional service to match.
Boilers can be complex. Only a fully trained and Gas Safe registered heating engineer will know the best option for your home. Remember, boilers that are not installed by a reputable heating and gas engineer could have catastrophic consequences. Only use someone you can trust and always ask for evidence of their Gas Safe status before agreeing to the work.
You should aim to have you boiler serviced at least once a year. You will need a plumber that is gas safe registered (formerly corgi) and have him/she come down to test the inefficiency of your boiler. This is definitely worth doing as this will reduce you energy costs.
Central heating is something that most of us take for granted. I know I do. I walk into my house and expect it to be lovely and warm. But as soon as it breaks down, trouble can start. Try not turning your heating on in the middle of December for just one day and you’ll soon realize how important it is.
