Another central heating system on the blink, another rogue waiting to ride into town and relieve you of your scarce cash. But why do you need to spend so much? Repairing boilers is probably the easiest way for rogue heating engineers to make some money. 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. More to the point, does the engineer know enough? If you adhere to these central heating boiler maintenance tips you could prevent any so-called professionals from taking advantage of you. A CORGI registration won’t be on the way for you, but you will get a solid understanding of the field and learn a good deal of the technical jargon allowing you to pose questions to plumbers while they work so that you don’t fall easy prey to their money rip-off tactics.
Check on each of these steps as the plumber gets down to the job.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- The pipework and ventilation should be thoroughly checked.
- Broken parts must be replaced with new components.
- Has the engineer tested all the components of the heating boiler and evaluated their functionality?.
- Main boiler parts should be taken apart and cleaned.
These steps must be performed by your engineer at the very least for you to know the engineer is compliant with the proper standards. Before contacting a company for boiler servicing, make sure that it has a current CORGI certificate. If they have an advert in the Yellow Pages, the CORGI logo will be displayed there – larger adverts generally indicate the depth of the company’s capital, experience and reputation. Swindlers cannot go too far with a truck load of immorality. But a new generation of cons will move in to take the place of the old ones, so our checklist will assist you to identify such dangers when you bring in an engineer to work on your boiler.
