Another boiler on the verge of breaking down, and yet another golden opportunity for a charlatan to take away your hard-earned money. A homeowner with a dead boiler is just what unscrupulous repair engineers love-easy money for a lousy quick fix job. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. The plumbers can easily take you for a ride if you don’t know much about the boiler, so it is important to understand few things about gas boiler servicing. The first thing a plumber should be is registered at CORGI; here they will get a lot of information about boiler maintenance, ask the heating engineer appropriate questions about their CORGI registration, and persuade him to think twice before making a fool out of you.
Check on each of these steps as the plumber gets down to the job.
- Did the engineer check the boiler vent?.
- Has heshe looked at the pipework? Ventilation must also be examined.
- Has he replaced all the faulty parts with new purchased parts?.
- Has the engineer tested all the components of the heating boiler and evaluated their functionality?.
- Has he disassembled and cleaned all the key component parts?.
For you to be fully satisfied that the job has been done properly, the plumber should do all the above enlisted things. Before contacting a company for gas boiler servicing, make sure that it has a current CORGI certificate. The CORGI logo will appear in their advert if they have bought space in the national Yellow Pages – firms with a bigger advert will generally have more money, more experience and a better reputation.
