| | | | | Blaze highlights importance of boiler maintenance by Philip Youngwood | | | The importance of having regular gas boiler services has been made clear after fire broke out recently at a residence in Clitheroe. Fire fighters tackled the house blaze which was started by a faulty gas boiler and caused considerable damage to the room that it was housed in.
According to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Tines report, no-one was injured in the fire. However, it does highlight to homeowners the value of having their gas boiler serviced regularly.
Faulty gas boilers can be very dangerous, not only because of their fire risk, but also because of the risk of carbon monoxide leaks which can be fatal. Carbone monoxide leaks can threaten entire neighbourhoods as well as whole households.
The Gas Safe Register recommends that Gas Boilers be serviced at least once every year to ensure safety and efficiency. The cost of getting your boiler serviced can actually be recouped in savings in gas bills throughout the year, as dirt and blockages can accumulate throughout the year and cause bills to be higher.
An annual gas boiler service, carried out by an approved engineer, can also work out to be a lot cheaper than having your gas boiler break down. Costs for calling out an engineer and having the boiler replaced can easily run into the hundreds of pounds. | | | | Article Source : Article-treasure.com | | Publication date : 10-13-2009 | | | | Article by Philip Youngwood | | | | Philip Youngwood is a freelance writer, who regularly contribtutes to green energy issues. | | | | Keywords : gas, gas boiler | | | | | |
