How it works
Know the warning signs
Gas safety checks are essential to ensure the safe operation of your gas appliances and systems. Here are some warning signs that indicate the need for a gas safety check:
Gas Smells
If you notice an unusual or strong odor of gas, it's a clear sign of a gas leak. Evacuate the area immediately and contact a professional for a safety check.
Pilot Lights Extinguishing
Frequent pilot light outages on your gas appliances, such as water heaters or boilers, could indicate a problem with ventilation or gas pressure.
Yellow or Orange Flames
A gas flame should burn blue. If you see a yellow or orange flame on your gas appliances, it might indicate incomplete combustion and the presence of carbon monoxide.
Soot or Staining
The appearance of soot or dark staining on or around your gas appliances can be a sign of inefficient combustion and potential safety hazards.
Unusual Sounds
Unusual hissing or whistling sounds near your gas lines could suggest a gas leak. Any unusual noises should be investigated promptly.
Increased Gas Bills
A sudden and unexplained increase in your gas bills can be a sign of gas wastage due to a malfunctioning appliance.
Inadequate Heating or Hot Water
If your heating or hot water system isn't performing as it should, it could be a result of a gas-related issue that needs inspection.
Condensation
Excessive condensation on windows near gas appliances can be a sign of poor ventilation, indicating a need for inspection.
Age of Appliances
Older gas appliances may be more prone to safety issues. Regular checks are crucial for appliances that have been in use for a long time.
Health Symptoms
If you or your family experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue, it could be due to carbon monoxide poisoning, which is odourless and colorless. A gas safety check can detect this issue.
Inconsistent Flame
If the flame on your gas stove or other appliances is erratic or fluctuating, it may indicate a gas supply problem or improper combustion.
Visible Damage
Any visible damage, corrosion, or wear and tear on gas pipes or connectors should be addressed promptly to prevent leaks.
It’s important not to ignore these warning signs. If you notice any of these indicators, contact a qualified gas engineer to conduct a thorough gas safety check and ensure the safety of your home or business. Regular maintenance and checks can help prevent potential hazards and maintain the proper functioning of your gas systems.
