The Significance of Gas Safe Registered Engineers
Who are Gas Safe registered engineers? When we talk about gas heating systems, the term “Gas Safe registered engineers” always crops up. Is it just a classification of workers or is there something special about this breed of professionals in the gas industry? At RJ Gas Appliances Ltd, we pride ourselves of the fact that we only employ Gas Safe registered engineers to render services to our clients. Gas Safe registered engineers are the only people that are legally-certified to render service in gas-related industries. These people have spent time, money and effort to undergo proper training in the installation, repair and inspection of gas appliances that are used for cooking and heating our homes. They must then undergo rigid examinations in order to get certification the area of gas work that they intend to do. These certifications are under the United Kingdom Accreditation Service and known as the Nationally Accredited Scheme (ACS), or they may have the equivalen S/NVQ qualifications. They are accredited only on their areas of competency. After receiving a recognised certification, they must then register with the Gas Safe Register. It is legally mandated that workers in this industry must register with the Gas Safe Register in order to practice their trade. Only Gas Safe registered engineers are legally allowed to undertake gas works in our home or in commercial gas industries. People who are not registered are then deemed illegal gas engineers and are accountable to the law. There are many reports of accidents happening, sometimes resulting to dire consequences, because the work done on gas-related installations or repairs were done by illegal gas engineers.

Need a gas fire repair? Call RJ Gas Appliances Ltd today. What is a Gas Fire? A gas fire is also called a space heater or a room heater. A gas fire provides heat to a room or a small, enclosed outdoor area. Gas fires are a lot smaller compared to boilers or furnaces, and are usually portable. There are also wall mounted types of gas heaters. More specifically, gas fires are categorized into two: Fueled – They are permanently installed and are safe to use if installed properly. The installation and height of the flue provides maximum heat to the room. Non Fueled – This is also commonly called flueless fires, vent free heaters or unvented heaters. They may either be permanently installed or portable. Non fueled heaters are more risky than fueled ones, especially if they are not installed properly. They also require ventilation in the room, and more maintenance than fueled heaters. Risks Health risks of not following proper procedures include carbon monoxide exposure and increase in dioxide. The former is highly poisonous, and the latter can cause lung diseases. Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless and odorless gas, yet very deadly. Exposure in small amounts can cause nausea and vomiting. Prolonged exposure can cause death. High levels of carbon dioxide in the room prevents the lungs from functioning properly. It cannot properly exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Other than possible health issues and dangers of death, gas heaters can also cause fire.

How to deal with a Gas Fire Problem E5 If you’re experiencing any kind of alarming issues or Gas Fire Problem E5, contact Gas Safe Corgi registered RJ Gas, and we’ll have the problem fixed in no time flat. Solving a Gas Fire Problem E5 We were contacted by a customer who was experiencing an unexpected problem with their gas fire. They had to turn it off because after having it on full, it went out. It was the 2nd time that it went out like that, and they were curious if they should have us come take a look at it. The answer was an emphatic yes! The reason is because this is typically a sign that the product’s safety devises or measures kicked in and turned the flame off as a precautionary measure. Usually they are ODS, or Oxygen Depletion System fireplaces. Of course the last thing you would want is to wait until someone is harmed as a result of ignoring a problem that could be so serious. Gas Fire Problem E5 Explanation This type of behavior is most commonly caused by the pilot flame not being able to sustain the safety thermocouple as hot as it needs to be to keep the safety magnet sufficiently open. This will cause the fire to shut down in a really short amount of time.
