Do Not get ripped off with your heating boiler overhaul
Is your heating boiler going to blow up soon and are you going to spend your hard earned money to get it fixed?. And for what? Broken central heating boiler victims are sitting ducks for rogue gas engineers on the lookout for an easy job. 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. 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 boiler servicing. 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 heating engineer starts work.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- Has all the pipework been inspected? The heating boiler ventilation should be checked.
- Replacement of any faulty heating system components.
- Each and every component of the heating boiler must be checked and tested.
- Key parts should be removed and reinstalled after cleaning.
At the very least, your boiler engineer should fulfill these requirements before you can be satisfied that they are doing their job properly. It is crucial for you to find out if a heating boiler service company has a CORGI certificate before you even contact them. The advertisement of the company in the yellow pages should also have the CORGI logo; moreover, as a rule, companies with bigger advertisements have more money and more experience. After all, heating boiler cowboys can only go so far with shoddy work. Old crooks go away and new cowboys enter the scene to hustle your heating boiler, so be alert and always use our checklist to monitor their work.
