How to check your central heating overhaul
A central heating boiler goes down suddenly and a con artist conveniently enters to clean up your hard cash. And for what? Broken central heating boiler victims are sitting ducks for rogue plumbers on the lookout for an easy job. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. More pertinently, how about your engineer? If you want to avoid the slick maneuverings of a con artist masquerading as an plumber, then you should heed our basic guide to gas boiler servicing. A CORGI registration won’t be on the way for you, but you will get a solid understanding of the field and learn a good deal of the technical jargon allowing you to pose questions to gas engineers while they work so that you don’t fall easy prey to their money rip-off tactics.
When the plumber begins work, follow the this guide as a checklist.
- Has he checked the flue output of the boiler?.
- Has he inspected the pipework and ventilation of the boiler?.
- Broken parts must be replaced with new components.
- Has the heating engineer tested all the components of the boiler and evaluated their functionality?.
- Has he disassembled and cleaned all the key component parts?.
At the very least, your heating boiler engineer should fulfill these requirements before you can be satisfied that they are doing their job properly. Before contacting a company for gas boiler servicing, make sure that it has a current CORGI certificate. You will be able to see a CORGI symbol in any certified company’s advertisement and you will usually find that the larger the advert, the greater the repute of the company. Swindlers cannot go too far with a truck load of immorality. Old crooks go away and new cowboys enter the scene to hustle your central heating boiler, so be alert and always use our checklist to monitor their work.
