SERVICE
All gas appliances should
be regularly serviced, at least once a year. In the case of a new
appliance that carries a 2 year warranty (i.e Vaillant boiler), a
service carried out by a CORGI registered engineer is required to
validate the second year of the guarantee.
Regular servicing helps to keep your appliance working safely and
efficiently. Regular servicing should also prolong the life of your
appliance.
In
very basic terms a service includes:
-
Visual
examination of the appliance and its flue to confirm that it is
suitably located and installed in accordance will all relevant
regulations.
-
Examination
and cleaning of combustion chamber, fan, heat exchanger burner etc.
-
Examination
and testing of appliance, flue, safety devices, controls and components.
-
Checking
and adjusting burner pressure and gas rates.
-
Confirming
that the appliance is capable of safe operation.
