If you are looking to have your boiler serviced, one very important factor should be considered; is the engineer registered on the Gas Safe Register? Reports have shown that a startling amount of homes has been found to be in ‘immediate danger’ by the Gas Safe Register because of work carried out by engineers who are not qualified. Rectifying a job done by an illegal engineer is not just pricey, it is extremely dangerous. Accident and Emergency departments nationally see patients who are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, caused directly from faulty boilers and central heating systems. This is the risk involved when allowing an uncertified engineer to work in your home.
