Gas Safe No: 593953
Gas related problems are usually urgent, so you should find a gas engineer in advance so that if an emergency does happen, you’re already prepared. Gas engineers repair boilers, and some offer 24/7 emergency call outs for emergencies. However, finding a reliable, qualified gas engineer at a reasonable price can be daunting if you don’t know much about what to expect.
A great place to start when finding a gas engineer is to ask family and friends if they have any recommendations. This way, you know that the engineer is reliable. You can also use a search engine to find engineers near you, but there are other steps you should take to ensure you are choosing the right engineer.
The Gas Safe Register is a list of all legally permitted businesses to carry out gas work. Never hire a gas engineer who is not on the register. This should be the first step when choosing an engineer and the ultimate deciding factor. Not all engineers are qualified to do all types of gas work – so you should always check their ID before carrying out any work.
If an engineer can not prove they have insurance to cover their work, do not use them. Always ask your gas engineer what kind of insurance they have, and do not be afraid to ask for written proof of their policy. In the rare event of something going wrong, your engineer’s insurance should cover any damage done.
Look online and read any reviews about a gas engineer before you call them. Look out for warning signs such as multiple bad reviews, people saying the engineer is unreliable or unprofessional. You could even ask for references from people who have used the engineer to determine how satisfied they were with the service.
In an emergency gas situation, your engineer must arrive promptly. Find out where they are based and calculate the travel time to your property. If the journey is too long or they have to travel on roads which often have bad traffic, it’s sensible to consider a different engineer.
All reputable engineers will have a guarantee for their work. If the engineer does not provide a guarantee, ask them to provide a written one. If they refuse to do so, this indicates that their work may not be up to the required standards. This is a significant warning sign, and you should find an engineer who is happy to provide this.
When hiring an engineer, you get what you pay for. The price can vary on location and reputation. Be wary if the price seems too low; this signifies that the engineer may not be fully qualified. Also, watch out for engineers overcharging, ask around for a few quotes and see what the going rate is in your area.
Problems with your boiler are never welcome; the loss of hot water and heating can throw a household into panic mode! But stay calm and try out these simple checks. If these steps do not work and your boiler is still not working, it’s time to call out an engineer.
Check your fuse box to see whether one of your fuses might have tripped. If so, you can sort this with a simple reset. Also, check your other electrical equipment. If these aren’t working, there’s a problem with your electric supply, and you should ring your supplier.
Boilers can trip due to safety precautions and need to be reset to start working correctly again. You will usually find the reset button on the front of your boiler; all you need to do is press it. Take note that you should never have to remove any casing to access the reset button! If you can’t find the reset button, check your boiler’s manual.
Check whether your other supplies are working; if not, this indicates a problem with the gas supply. Also, look to see whether the control valve is open. If not, then open it to allow gas to flow. Finally, check your gas stopcock, and open this too if needed. If you’ve completed these steps, but the boiler still isn’t working, there’s a problem with your supply, and you should contact your supplier.
Older boiler models have a pilot light. Check this is lit. If it’s not, follow the manual’s instructions to reignite it. If your boiler doesn’t have a pilot light, try pressing the unblocking button to reignite the burner; if the pressure is too low, pressing this button won’t work. Most boilers of this kind will reignite automatically when the pressure reaches the minimum level.
In cold weather, your boiler’s pipes can freeze, which then leads to blockages. Usually, boilers will display an error code or warning sign if pipes are frozen. Bubbling sounds coming from the boiler can also be a sign of blocked pipes. If it appears a pipe is frozen, then you should call an engineer to sort the problem professionally.
Low pressure in boilers can cause them to run at a reduced rate or stop working altogether. Check the gauge; this should be at 1 when the boiler is cold. Many boilers will not work when the pressure is less than one due to safety reasons. You can use a filling loop to sort this problem out yourself, but it is sensible to call an engineer to do this professionally.
If none of these checks successfully get your boiler up and running, call a qualified gas engineer. Here at SIMP, we have a 5-star rating for our boiler services. Call us today for further information regarding our boiler services, 07856875294.
