Working with gas is a serious business that’s why we only have Gas Safe Registered engineers working on our team. Here’s how you can keep it safe at home while you work with gas.
Gas Safety Tips
- If you need any gas work done at home, may it be gas fitting, repair or installation, always get a Gas Safe Registered engineer to work on it. They are the people who are capable to work safely and legally with gas. They will also be responsible in notifying the local authority if you’re having a gas appliance fitted at home.
- Don’t just rely on the word given out. Always ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. Check the information found in front and at the back of their card to ensure that they are qualified to complete the kind of gas work that you require.
- Know the signs and symptoms of a carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Invest on a good carbon monoxide alarm and install it near your gas appliances. Carbon monoxide can sometimes be hard to detect because they are odorless and colorless. They can be deadly too so it’s best if you have one of these devices at home. Get one of those that makes a noise when carbon monoxide is detected.
- Be in the look out for signs that your gas appliances may not be working properly. For example, check the color of the flame. You want to see a crisp blue flame instead of a yellow or orange one. You may also want to check if there are black stains around the appliances because they could be a sign that your gas appliance is not working as they should.
