Why County Durham Homeowners Choose Us

Why a Chimney Assessment is Non-Negotiable for Gas Fires

Unlike electric fires, gas fires produce potentially dangerous byproducts like carbon monoxide. A properly functioning chimney is crucial for safely venting these gases away from your living space. An old or poorly maintained chimney can have cracks, blockages, or inadequate ventilation, all of which can lead to carbon monoxide leaks – a serious health hazard. It's also a legal requirement; a Gas Safe registered engineer, like those at Preferred Gas, must verify chimney suitability before any gas fire installation.
