Your gas boiler has just conked out, and there comes a complete rogue, the Central Heating Boiler Kid, all set to hit you with a hefty repair bill. And why is that? Sham engineers are on the hound for innocent victims with broken boilers who dole out easy money. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. More to the point, does the engineer know enough? If you adhere to these heating boiler maintenance tips you could prevent any so-called professionals from taking advantage of you. Our basic guide may not qualify you as a CORGI expert, but you will be able to talk about heating boilers like a pro, and that will ensure the ‘RipoffMan’ does his job properly and at reasonable cost.
Check on each of these steps as the heating engineer gets down to the job.
- Has an analysis of the heating boiler flue been undertaken?.
- The pipework and ventilation should be thoroughly checked.
- Broken parts must be replaced with new components.
- All gas boiler components and required functionality must be tested.
- Major systems of the heating boiler must be overhauled thoroughly.
At the very least, your gas boiler engineer should fulfill these requirements before you can be satisfied that they are doing their job properly. You should make sure that the company have a CORGI certificate prior to contacting them about your central heating boiler.
