Another gas boiler on the blink, another rogue waiting to ride into town and relieve you of your scarce cash. And for what? Broken boiler victims are sitting ducks for rogue gas engineers on the lookout for an easy job. It is an essential part of your home but do you really know how your gas central heating works?. More pertinently, how about your engineer? If you want to avoid the slick maneuverings of a con artist masquerading as an engineer, then you should heed our basic guide to central heating boiler servicing. It won’t earn you a CORGI registration, but it will furnish you with enough knowledge and information to ask questions as they work, and make them think twice about ripping you off.
Check on each of these steps as the engineer gets down to the job.
- Has he analysed the exhaust from the flue pipe?.
- Has all the pipework been inspected? The central heating boiler ventilation should be checked.
- Has he replaced all the faulty parts with new purchased parts?.
- All boiler components and required functionality must be tested.
- Major systems of the boiler must be overhauled thoroughly.
For you to be fully satisfied that the job has been done properly, the plumber should do all the above enlisted things. Before you even contact a company to service your boiler, you must ensure that they have a recent CORGI certificate. 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.
