It is important to have your gas fire serviced regularly to ensure that it is functioning safely and efficiently. Gas fires can become dangerous if they are not maintained correctly, as they produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be lethal if inhaled in high concentrations.
During a gas fire service, a qualified gas engineer will inspect the appliance to ensure that it is working correctly and that there are no leaks or other safety hazards. The engineer will also clean the fire and its components, check the gas pressure and the flue, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs.
Regular servicing of your gas fire can help prevent breakdowns and reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. A faulty gas fire can also be less efficient, resulting in higher energy bills.
It is recommended that gas fires are serviced annually to ensure their safety and efficiency. It is also essential to use a qualified and registered gas engineer to carry out any servicing or repairs, as they have the necessary training and expertise to work with gas appliances safely.
