Gas Safety In Your Newton Home

Anyone who has one or more gas appliances in their home must make themselves aware of the risks of unsafe gas work. Here are some tips for gas safety in your Newton home.

Gas Safety In Your Newton Home – Have Your Appliances Checked

When were the gas appliances in your home last checked for gas safety? Gas appliances need to be safety checked every year and serviced regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If not, they could become dangerous and put your family at risk.

Having A New Gas Appliance Fitted?

When choosing a new gas appliance, you must make sure that it is suitable for your home. Your Gas Safe Registered Engineer can help you with this, and make sure that it is fitted safely.

Buying a New Home?

There are many things to think about when buying a new property and gas safety may not be top of the list. You should know what to look out for and ask a qualified engineer to check for gas safety before using gas appliances.

Have you got a defect sticker on an appliance?

If an engineer identifies a gas related danger in your home, they attach a “Danger Do Not Use” warning label to the gas fitting in question and provide a warning notice. You must not ignore these and must comply with the instructions.

Improving Your Home?

If you’re making home improvements, it is tempting to try to save money by doing it yourself. However, if you work on gas appliances without being qualified, you could be breaking the law and could put lives at risk. There are no two ways about it: Unsafe gas appliances put lives in danger.
