Appliances Check List:

 

  1. Gas appliances in your property need to be safety checked by a gas safe engineer annually and serviced because left unchecked could put you at risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

You Should Get Your Appliances checked if it’s:

  • Not working properly.
  • Burning with poor yellow flame instead of a sharp blue one.
  • Signs of spillage e.g black mark or stains
  • The pilot goes from blue or bluish-green to a weak yellow flame or keeps going out.
  • Increased condensation in the room

A Gas Safety Check will include:

  • Checking the appliance is correctly set and adjusted to ensure the gas is burning correctly also saving gas.
  • That is suitable type for the room and location.
  • That it is stable and fitted correctly to the gas supply.
  • that the is adequate or permanent air supply for the appliance fitted.
  • All safety controls operate correctly.
  • Visual check on accessible gas pipework.
  • Tightness test performed to ensure there are no gas leaks.

 

Flues, Chimney and Air Vents:

These should always be checked as they allow products of combustion to escape and allowing a high level of ventilation if these become blocked could result in carbon monoxide building up in your home, which is a highly poisonous gas.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning:

This is caused by incomplete combustion of gas. It can happen when gas appliances have been incorrectly fitted, poorly maintained, badly repaired or the flue, chimney or air vents are blocked. CO poisoning happens when breath in the gas and it replaces the oxygen in your bloodstream and sticks to your lung lining and causing your body cells and tissues to die, which will cause death, paralysis and brain damage. Carbon monoxide is odorless and a concentration of 2% of Co in the air can kill in as little as 3 minutes.

Symptoms to Look Out For Are:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Breathlessness
  • Collapse
  • Loss of consciousness

 

Being aware of the symptoms could save your life.

Similar to flu, food poisoning, viral infections and fatigue, it’s not uncommon to mistake this poisoning for something else. Signs that could point to CO poisoning are when you and others in your family including pets only feel these symptoms when at home.

If You Suspect CO Poisoning:

  • Turn off all gas appliances
  • Open doors and windows
  • Leave your house
  • See a doctor or go to hospital to check your blood and breath
  • Phone emergency gas: Emergency helpline 0800 111999
  • Get a gas safe engineer to check all appliances and flues to see if there is a problem.

Regular gas checks and servicing and an audible CO alarm is a good second line of defense, fit one in every room with a gas appliance. It’s also advisable to have a gas check done if your home is going to be left empty while on holiday etc.
