Choosing a heating engineer is crucial to having a safe heating setup. For this reason, we recommend considering only traders on the Gas Safe register. Go on to the Gas Safe website and check them out. In addition, compare quotes from at least three engineers and then get an itemized quote in writing before choosing a heating engineer.
A radiator check is one of the final checks that a heating engineer conducts after boiler service. The engineer will check for air in your radiators or signs of corrosion to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Lots of plumbers are trained in installing heating systems. Hence, it’s easy to find capable and experienced plumbers for the job. Nonetheless, plumbers are not necessarily Gas Safe certified. As such, plumbers are not the best choice for gas boiler heating systems.
A boiler service happens on the boiler to ensure it’s running efficiently. Therefore, it does not involve a gas safety check. The heating engineer examines the various boiler parts in boiler service, while a gas check involves checking the boiler pressure, air supply, flues and chimneys, and safety devices.
