The Service
A typical gas fire service involves a comprehensive check and maintenance procedure to ensure the appliance operates safely and efficiently.
Here’s a general overview of what we will undertake during a service:
Safety Checks
- Check for any clear signs of damage or wear.
- Ensure that the appliance is correctly and securely fitted.
- Confirm that there is no gas leakage.
- Check for adequate ventilation for the appliance.
Visual Inspection
- Check the external body for any corrosion, damage, or discolouration.
- Inspect the main burner, pilot burner, and injector.
- Examine the ignition for any signs of deterioration.
Cleaning
- Clean the appliance, including the burner, fan, pilot light, and other necessary components.
- Remove any debris or deposit build ups.
- Clean the glass front, if applicable, from any soot or deposits.
Operational Checks
- Test ignition operation and safety devices.
- Monitor the burner’s pressure or rate against the manufacturer’s data plate.
- Check the flame to ensure it’s burning correctly.
Flue and Chimney Assessment
- Ensure that products of combustion are being effectively dispersed outside.
- Check the flue flow to ensure the safe removal of combustion products.
- Examine the chimney or flue for blockages or defects.
Gas Pressure and Rate
- Confirm that the gas pressure and rate align with the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Adjust if necessary.
Functional Test
- Re-light the fire after servicing and observe it in operation.
- Ensure that all controls are working correctly.
Safety Advice
- Provide the homeowner or resident with necessary safety advice or recommendations based on the service findings.
Documentation
- Provide the homeowner or resident with a service record detailing all checks and actions.
Prevention Of Gas Leaks
- Regular servicing can detect minor issues before they become significant problems, such as gas leaks, which can be hazardous.
Carbon Monoxide Detection
- A faulty gas fire can produce carbon monoxide, a deadly odourless gas. Regular checks ensure that there are no leaks and that the unit is burning correctly.
Efficiency
- A serviced gas fire will operate at maximum efficiency, ensuring you get the most heat for your money. Over time, minor issues or build-ups can cause the appliance to work harder, using more gas.
Longevity Of The Appliance
- Regular maintenance can extend the life of your gas fire. By spotting and rectifying small issues early, you can prevent major problems down the line that could lead to the complete failure of the unit.
Maintain Warranty
- Most fire manufacturers require regular servicing as a condition of their warranty. Neglecting service can void the warranty, leaving you without coverage for future issues.
Improved Air Quality
- A well-serviced gas fire burns cleanly and ensures better indoor air quality.
Peace of Mind
- Knowing that your appliance is in good working order and has been checked for safety gives homeowners peace of mind, especially during colder months when the gas fire is frequently used.
