The Benefits Of A Gas Fire Service

Clean, serviced fires burn gas at the correct rate and run at the best possible energy efficiency as they don’t have to work as hard to create heat.

The improved energy efficiency of a clean serviced fire helps lower your fuel bills which is welcome in times of soaring energy prices.

The service ensures your fire isn’t a carbon monoxide hazard and is safe to run. Our engineers use flue gas analysers to verify all noxious gasses are taken away.

Engineers also check to ensure a carbon monoxide alarm is present, which is essential for users of Gas Fires. If one isn’t present or in the wrong position, the engineer will advise on what to do to rectify the issue.

Following the service, your fire is less likely to develop a fault or breakdown.

A service ensures your fire is covered by a warranty and home breakdown cover. Both will stipulate your Gas Fire must be serviced annually to be valid.
