Getting your gas driven appliances repaired and maintained by your gas engineering service can reduce break downs, ensure operational safety and give your gas appliance a longer life.
1) Qualified Engineer: It is of the utmost importance that the technician that comes to check your gas appliances is an experienced engineer from a gas engineering service. Do not try to fix your gas appliance yourself or let an inexperienced technician do it for you.
2) Frequency: Refer to the manufacturer's instruction to see how many times a year you will need to get your gas appliances serviced and repaired. Some brands recommend a service frequency every two years while others recommend at least once a year maintenance plan. Make sure you give your heaters a bit of a tune up before winter comes.
3) Read the Manual: Read the manufacturer's manual before you start using the appliance as gas appliances are dangerous and there improper use can lead to severe injuries. If you have misplaced the manual, download a copy from the internet or contact then to get a copy.
4) Warning Signals: Some of the warning signs that you should be wary of are a yellow or red flame, accumulation of brown or yellow soot around the burner, pungent smell, eye irritation, dizziness, nausea and frequently blown out pilot lights. The above signs are due to incomplete combustion in which case you may be wasting energy or escape of carbon monoxide that is lethal in large quantities. If you sense any such signs, call your gas engineering service immediately.
5) Air Filters: Air filters and vents in gas heaters can become clogged due to an accumulation of dust and soot. When this starts to happen, it can result in overheating and combustion problems. You can clean the vent of your heater by yourself with the help of a manual or call the gas engineering service top do it for you.
6) Flues: The flue pipes should be checked for any corrosion, damage or blockage and if it is perforated, it should be replaced by a gas engineering service technician.
7) Gas Pressure: A part of the servicing process is also to check for gas pressure and adjustments. Incorrect gas pressure can impact the amount of oxygen drawn into the gas burner that can result in improper combustion.
8) Fluctuating Temperature: If you have a gas water boiler which when switched on, keeps fluctuating the temperature of the water, you should call a gas engineering service to fix it. However, if you are using up water, it is normal for it to gradually lose temperature-Brianna Wilson
