Why Blaydon Homes with Unvented Cylinders Need PTRV Testing
Think of the PTRV as a safety valve. It's designed to release excess pressure and temperature within your unvented cylinder, preventing potentially dangerous situations. If the valve fails, pressure could build up to unsafe levels. Regular testing ensures the valve is functioning correctly, protecting your home and family. It's not just recommended; it's a crucial safety requirement.

Understanding the PTRV Test: What We Do
During a PTRV test, our engineer will carefully activate the valve to ensure it opens correctly and releases water. We’ll check for any leaks, blockages, or signs of corrosion. We will also inspect the discharge pipework to make sure it's properly installed and can safely carry away any released water. This is a visual inspection and a practical test, all completed with safety as top priority.
