A gas appliance safety check ensures an appliance:
Is properly set and adjusted so the gas burns correctly
Is suitable for the room it’s located in
Is physically stable, securely fitted and properly connected to the gas pipework
Your engineer will also make sure:
There’s an adequate and permanent air supply that’s suitable for the appliance installed
All safety devices are functioning properly
Any flues, chimneys and air vents are operating correctly
This can be extended to a full gas installation safety check, in which the engineer will:
Check the installation is in good condition by visually inspecting the pipework as far as reasonably practicable
Test the gas pipework to make sure there are no leaks
CO can enter buildings through shared vents, so if you do live in a property with a shared flue or chimney, be sure to share responsibility with other residents to get these checked out annually.
