Another central heating boiler on the verge of breaking down, and yet another golden opportunity for a charlatan to take away your hard-earned money. And for what? Broken central heating boiler victims are sitting ducks for rogue engineers on the lookout for an easy job. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. More pertinently, how about your engineer? If you want to avoid the slick maneuverings of a con artist masquerading as an plumber, then you should heed our basic guide to boiler servicing. This guide might not qualify you for a CORGI license, but it will familiariae you with the basics and the jargon so that you can ask the right questions and ensure you get the best service.
Use the following guide as a checklist when your engineer starts work.
- Has the gas boiler flue output been analysed?.
- Has a pipework inspection been carried out? Ventilation should be normal and confirmed as so.
- Replacement of any faulty central heating components.
- Each and every component of the gas boiler must be checked and tested.
- Key parts should be removed and reinstalled after cleaning.
These steps must be performed by your engineer at the very least for you to know the engineer is compliant with the proper standards. The company you select to provide your boiler servicing should have a CORGI certificate to demonstrate their competence and skill levels. 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. Fly by night operators sometimes get away with a con job, but not for long. Unfortunately old rogue traders are replaced by the new ones every week, so with the help of these tips you can ensure that your gas boiler is being serviced properly.
