Another heating boiler on the blink, another rogue waiting to ride into town and relieve you of your scarce cash. And what are they getting paid for? People with faulty central heating boilers are easy targets for untrustworthy gas engineers trying to cash in on your lack of knowledge. It’s what keeps your home warm and cosy but you probably have no idea how that Vaillant, Worcester or Baxi works. To avoid being dodged by a fraud, it is essential to know the ABC of gas boiler servicing, and this guide has everything that you need to know about how your plumber tackles gas boiler repair and maintenance. Our basic guide may not qualify you as a CORGI expert, but you will be able to talk about central heating boilers like a pro, and that will ensure the ‘RipoffMan’ does his job properly and at reasonable cost.
Once your maintenance man begins, keep these bullet points in mind.
- The boiler flue output must be analysed properly, so make sure he doesn’t miss out on that.
- The pipework and ventilation should be thoroughly checked.
- Replacement of any faulty heating components.
- Ensure that every part of the central heating boiler is in good condition and working efficiently.
- Disassembly and cleaning of all key components.
If your repairman is going through all these steps systematically, you know he is doing a good job. The company you select to provide your heating boiler servicing should have a CORGI certificate to demonstrate their competence and skill levels. You have looked up gas boiler repair companies in the Yellow Pages - if they have CORGI certification, their name will be accompanied by the CORGI logo; also remember that larger ads often mean those firms are more experienced and reputed. There is a limit to how long a con artist can sustain his scam after all. Old crooks go away and new cowboys enter the scene to hustle your heating boiler, so be alert and always use our checklist to monitor their work.
