I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TM Hughes. The water from my bath and sink was draining extremely slowly. We had tried liquid drain unblockers but these had failed. After a visit from Terry and one of his fantastic plumbers our water now gushes away at a rate we've never seen before. A huge thank you to both of them.

Why Annual Gas Fire Servicing is Important

Here are some reasons why annual Gas Fire servicing is important:

Safety

Safety is the most important reason for an annual Gas Fire service. Like any gas appliance, gas fires can pose serious risks, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, if not properly maintained. Servicing ensures that all safety features operate as they should.

Energy Efficiency

A serviced gas fire runs more efficiently. Regular servicing ensures that the burner and heat exchanger are clean, which helps the appliance perform at its best. Correctly burned gas provides better heating for your home and helps reduce energy bills. If the gas fire is clogged or parts are worn out, it can consume more gas to provide the same heat.

Fire Lifespan

Just like any other appliance, a gas fire needs care to last longer. Servicing includes checks for signs of wear and damage that could lead to future issues. Servicing helps prevent breakdowns and keeps your fire running smoothly, potentially extending its lifespan by several years.

Warranties

Annual Gas Fire Servicing is important for maintaining manufacturer warranties, as most require annual checks to remain valid.

What Does Gas Fire Servicing Include?

A Gas Fire service involves more than just a quick check. It’s a thorough inspection and maintenance process designed to keep your appliance running at its best.

Here’s what we typically include in our gas fire servicing:

Visual Inspection

Our engineers begin with a full visual inspection of your gas fire for visible issues that could affect its performance or safety.

Cleaning of Components

Over time, dust and dirt will build up inside your gas fire, affecting its efficiency. We clean components like the burner, heat exchanger, and glass fronts, ensuring that the appliance is free from any debris that may obstruct airflow or heat output.

Testing for Correct Operation

After cleaning, we test the gas fire to ensure it’s running safely and efficiently. This involves checking the ignition system and gas flow, as well as the effectiveness of the flame monitoring system. We also check the control valves to ensure the flame adjusts correctly and safely.

Gas pressure and flow assessment – The engineer checks that the gas pressure and flow align with the manufacturer’s specifications to guarantee safe and efficient performance.
Burner flame inspection – Ensures the burner ignites correctly and maintains a steady, clean flame, which should be blue rather than yellow or orange.
Testing of safety mechanisms – Key safety features like flame supervision devices (FSD) and thermostats are examined to confirm they function properly and can automatically cut off the gas supply if necessary.
Ventilation check – Ensure your space has sufficient airflow for safe and efficient ventilation.
Leak detection – The appliance is tested for gas leaks. Fittings and connections are checked to ensure they are secure.
Flame pattern analysis – The clarity and consistency of the flame are assessed to confirm proper combustion.
Gas rate and pressure verification – Measurements are taken to ensure the appliance operates within the recommended parameters for optimal performance.
Flue inspection – A test, such as a smoke pellet test, may be performed to confirm the flue is clear and safely expelling gases.
Final safety assessment – The engineer reviews all findings to confirm the appliance operates safely and poses no risk to occupants.

Service Report

A record of the service is issued on completion. This includes performing maintenance, identifying faults, recommending repairs, and confirming that a qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer has serviced the appliance.
