Gas Fires omit pleasant heat and make living rooms extremely comfortable, especially during the winter. That’s why the feature in many Romford living rooms, they are safe and energy efficent also.

Like all gas appliances, Gas Fires should be serviced annually to ensure they are clean, burn gas efficiently and are safe to use.

Serving involves cleaning the fire, checking the burner, and testing flues and safety devices. The service also verifies your gas fire isn’t a carbon monoxide risk.

Carbon monoxide is produced by gas appliances when feul isn’t burned correctly, or flues and chimneys are not expelling exhaust gasses correctly.

Our engineer will instantly notice signs of carbon monoxide when servicing your gas fire. 

Difficult to light fires, soot stains, and smoke indicate carbon monoxide.

The correct setting and testing of the gas burner and a flue gas analysis will ensure your fire isn’t a carbon monoxide risk.

A carbon monoxide alarm should accompany gas fires. Our engineer will make recommendations if an alarm isn’t present in the same room as your fire.

The service involves thoroughly cleaning and testing the gas fire assembly and safety devices. Following the service, you can rest assured your fires are running efficiently and are safe.

If your fire is still in warranty and you have breakdown insurance, you must get your fire serviced annually to ensure validation. Otherwise, you’re not covered in the event of a fault.

A service record is written to prove the fire’s been serviced by a competent Gas Safe Registered engineer if you ever need to claim on the warranty or your home insurance.
