What Does a Preferred Gas Safety Certificate Check Include?
Our comprehensive gas safety check includes a thorough inspection of all gas appliances, including:
- Checking the appliance for gas tightness.
- Checking the standing and working pressure if test points are available.
- Checking burner pressure/gas rate against the manufacturer’s data plate.
- Checking for satisfactory ventilation.
- Checking flue flow to ensure products of combustion are safely removed.
- Checking any flame supervision device is working correctly.
- Visually inspecting the appliance for any signs of unsafe operation.
- Carbon monoxide testing to ensure there are no dangerous emissions.
We will then provide you with a detailed Gas Safety Certificate outlining the findings of the inspection.
Common Gas Appliance Problems We Find in Bedlington Properties
From experience working in the Bedlington area, we regularly come across a few common issues during gas safety checks, including:
- Blocked flues: Bird nests or debris can block flues, preventing the safe removal of combustion gases.
- Faulty pilot lights: Pilot lights that are difficult to light or keep lit can indicate a problem with the gas supply or appliance.
- Gas leaks: Even small gas leaks can be dangerous and need to be repaired immediately.
- Poor ventilation: Inadequate ventilation can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide.
