FAQs

How often should I have my gas boiler serviced?

We recommend annual servicing for all gas boilers and appliances. Regular servicing ensures safe operation, maintains efficiency, and is typically required to preserve manufacturer warranties. Annual servicing also helps identify potential issues before they develop into serious problems or safety hazards. For rental properties, annual gas safety checks are a legal requirement. Our comprehensive service includes a thorough inspection of all components, combustion analysis, and performance testing to ensure your system operates safely and efficiently.

What are the benefits of converting to LPG if I'm off the gas network?

LPG offers several advantages for off-grid properties compared to alternatives like oil or electric heating. Benefits include: lower carbon emissions than oil systems, high-efficiency modern boilers that can significantly reduce energy consumption, consistent and powerful heating performance similar to mains gas, no risk of fuel theft which can be an issue with oil tanks, cleaner burning with less maintenance requirements, and compatibility with conventional radiator systems. LPG can also power other appliances such as cookers and fires, providing a versatile energy solution for your entire home.

What should I do if I smell gas?

If you smell gas, it's crucial to act immediately: open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safely accessible, extinguish all naked flames and don't use electrical switches or devices (including lights and mobile phones), evacuate the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. After the immediate emergency is addressed, contact us for a thorough inspection and any necessary repairs to your system. Never attempt to find or fix a gas leak yourself – always rely on qualified Gas Safe engineers.

Do you provide gas safety certificates for landlords?

Yes, we provide comprehensive Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) for landlords as required by law. Our Gas Safe registered engineers conduct thorough inspections of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues to ensure they meet safety standards. The certificate includes detailed records of all checks performed, appliance condition, and safety status. We can establish regular annual inspection schedules for landlords with multiple properties to ensure compliance is maintained. Electronic copies of certificates are provided for your records, and we send reminders when renewals are due.

What's involved in installing an LPG system?

Installing an LPG system involves several key stages: initial property assessment to determine heating requirements and suitable tank location, coordination with an LPG supplier for tank installation (typically on a rental agreement), installation of appropriate pipework from the tank to your property, fitting of LPG-compatible appliances such as boilers or fires, installation of necessary safety devices including gas detection equipment, comprehensive system testing and commissioning, and finally, providing full user instructions and safety information. We manage this entire process, working with approved LPG suppliers to ensure a seamless installation.

How much does a gas safety inspection cost?

Our standard gas safety inspection and certificate costs £85 for properties with up to three gas appliances. Additional appliances are charged at £15 each. For landlords with multiple properties, we offer discounted rates based on volume. The inspection includes a thorough check of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues, with detailed documentation of the findings. If any issues are identified during the inspection, we'll provide a clear explanation and a separate quote for any necessary remedial work, which you can choose to proceed with or seek alternative quotes.

How can I check if an engineer is Gas Safe registered?

All legitimate Gas Safe engineers carry a Gas Safe ID card that you should ask to see before allowing work to begin. The card displays the engineer's photo, their registration number, and the specific types of gas work they're qualified to perform (such as natural gas, LPG, fires, boilers, etc.). You can verify an engineer's registration by checking the Gas Safe Register website (GasSafeRegister.co.uk) or calling 0800 408 5500. All Went's Heating Services Ltd engineers are fully Gas Safe registered, and we're happy to provide our registration details upon request.
