Carbon Monoxide can Kill!   You cannot see it, smell it or taste it!
Carbon Monoxide is often produced as a result of poor maintenance or incorrect installation of gas appliances by unqualified persons.

Gas Safety Checks

Our gas safety checks apply to all your gas appliances. A regular (usually annual) check is beneficial to ensuring the correct operation of the appliance, safety controls, and that there is effictive ventilation and flueing. That is what the gas industry and use regulations state we should do to keep you safe.

However at present only landlords are legally required to carry out these checks on a regular basis in the form of a landlords gas safety certificate.

Landlord's safety certificates

We are able to issue landlords safety certificates. All gas appliances and installations in rented accommodation should be tested and certified as being safe, annually.

If they are not, the landlord could be liable for any resulting damage or injury sustained by any accident caused by the gas installation.

Landlords cannot ignore their liability for death or personal injury resulting from gas maintenance negligence. Cool Flame Heating offer specifically designed inspections for landlords to ensure that their installations comply with all the relevant regulations, these include

GAS INSPECTIONS. Inspection and testing of the gas installation and appliances such as boilers, cookers and fires. Detection of any gas leaks or the presence of any carbon monoxide.

GAS BOILER SERVICE. Neglected gas boilers can be the principle source of leaks, both Gas and Carbon Monoxide. Regular servicing protects your tenants, reduces your potential liability, extends boiler life and ensures economic operation. Penalties for infringement can be severe, with fines to a maximum of £5,000, six months imprisonment(or more) or both.

There are numerous high profile cases of injury or death. Don't just take our word for it - for more details click here and follow the links to Corgi, Health and Safety Executive.

Don't become a statistic or put off till tomorrow these simple checks, which are designed to be as affordable as possible while maintaining the quality and integrity of our gas services.

    Safety Checks include (minimum of) the following:
  • Check whole system and appliances for gas tightness.
  • Check burner pressure
  • Check gas rate against available mfr data plate.
  • Check for satisfactory ventilation provision.
  • Test flue for removal of products of combustion.
  • Check operation of any flame failure/safety devices.
  • Check for presence of stability brackets/fixings.
  • Visual inspection of appliance, pipework & controls for damage
  • Visual meter inspection

The above data is marked on your landlord gas safety certificate.
