Today?s blog is for landlords and property owners wondering what the point is in getting a Gas Safe inspection.
It?s simple, having a Gas Safe inspection will ensure the safety of yourself and your property. Faulty gas appliances such as hobs and boilers can be lethal if not inspected regularly.
A Gas Safe inspection is an annual check up that all landlords have to undertake in order for their appliances to pass current regulations.
These regulations are defined by Gas Safe, which is the government backed organisation who?consistently regulate the industry in order to achieve a standard level of safe installation and maintenance of gas appliances.
With 333 injuries and 4 deaths in the past year alone from gas related incidents, having a Gas Safe inspection is extremely important to make sure that you don?t add to those figures.
The risks that gas appliances have mainly come in the form of gas and carbon monoxide leaks. A standard gas leak you can smell (it has a very distinct smell) and is extremely dangerous. This gas is highly?flammable and will ignite easily, so it?s important that if you call an emergency engineer if you smell it.
Carbon Monoxide is even scarier, as you can?t smell it. Dubbed as the ?silent killer?, Carbon Monoxide leaks are often caused by gas appliances failing to combust properly.
Having your annual Gas Safe inspection carried out will make sure that all of your gas appliances are perfectly safe. If there is any suspicion that they might not be, the Gas Safe engineer will shut off gas to the appliance and deem it as an unsafe appliance. They will also explain exactly what needs to be done in order to get the appliance back to gas safe regulations.
