When your Gas Safe engineer arrives, they’ll perform checks to see if there’s a gas leak. The engineer may be able to fix the problem right away in some cases of gas leaks. However, if the engineer is unable to complete the repair, the installation must be made safe until the repairs can be completed. Your engineer will then provide you with guidance.
You can contact the national gas services on 0800 111 999 in the event of a gas emergency.
Carbon monoxide is a gas that can be produced by your appliance if it is not properly installed and maintained. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that is both invisible and odourless. This is why it is critical that you have your appliances serviced by a qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer.
Carbon monoxide detectors are a simple but effective way to improve your home’s safety. It is recommended that every room with an appliance have an alarm installed. Carbon monoxide alarms should also be installed in bedrooms. Alarms should not be installed near windows or doors.
