A Look At The Corgi Registered Central Heating and Gas Technicians in The North East
 Need a specialist who can repair and service your gas boiler? Need someone to issue you a landlord gas safety certificate? Look to gas engineers to help you with your needs.
Gas Safety Certificates For Landlords
If you are a landlord and have rented out your home, you must have an annual check of all gas appliances including heaters, gas water heater, stoves, etc.
Employees will ensure that safety checks are completed for all your gas appliances. Once this is complete, you will be handed a “Landlord Gas Safety Record Certificate” that you must keep for at least two years. You will hand a copy to all your tenants, current and new ones.
Keep in mind that the certificate is not a pass or fail marking but rather a record that states what condition the appliances and pipework are in. Should there be defects found, you’ll need a Landlord’s authorization for any corrective work to begin. Once the corrective work has been complete, a record of it can be noted.
Riddor – Dangerous Problems That Need To Be Dealt With
Engineers must report any gas situations deemed dangerous to the Health and Safety Executive. If an appliance has been deemed dangerous, it must be disconnected until it is taken care of. What kinds of situations can be considered dangerous? They are:
- Any modification or construction, design, installation and maintenance problem that can lead to gas escaping and possible combustion of products not discharged outside
- Fault that can lead to injury or death
Notification of Any Gas Work Complete
In April 2005, the United Kingdom government has charged that any appliance installation or exchange by technicians must be reported to Corgi each time. With the added paperwork, there is a charge of £40 + VAT. Notifications include date of work complete, address and postcode where the work was complete.
Building Regulations Section L – Section L regulations were implemented so engineers could save on energy and lessen the amount of CO2 emissions.
What does this mean overall? It means that any new installations of boilers will be energy efficient. There is also the possibility that new boilers can’t be installed. A point scoring system will help to determine if it’s unlikely to install new boilers
To achieve maximum energy efficiency, controls will need to be outfitted on radiators. Heating controls will need to be installed on certain devices including:
- Hot water thermostats
- Room thermostats
- Programmers
With these installed, it can lower the amount of energy being lost. This also means that you may have extra work done to your installation along with swapping your boiler with an up to date boiler.
Building Regulations Section P – New regulations passed in January 2005 state that only qualified personnel can work on any electrical installation in the home. This means you can change a plug but anything more requires a professional. The company may seek an electrician to help out with installation.
Maintenance and Servicing Boilers – Remember new boilers, which tend to be more complicated than previous models, need to be serviced once a year. Failing to do so can lead to machinery breakdowns. All boiler producers expect a yearly maintenance to be done on their products.
Boiler Devices Using Chimneys (AKA Open Flued Boilers)
Recent legislative changes discourage people from using open flued boilers, mainly due to the rigorous, time consuming testing that must be completed. According to the new regulations set forth, if you have an open boiler, you will need more ventilation to the room it is located in. You may have to install vents on the outer walls.
Fanned Flues and Gas Fires
Fanned Flues - What is a fanned flue? It’s a pipe that leads from the boiler back to the outside world. Flues bring in air and expel flue gases that are combustible all from the same pipe. When you have these, it makes it easier for technicians to test during a yearly service check.
Gas Fires - New regulations being enforced are quite demanding so the company can no longer install gas fires. However, Landlord Certificates can still be issued. You should hire a specialist firm to install gas fires.
One such company that can do the work is:
The Bespoke Gas Fire Company Ltd.
