What Does a Gas Safety Inspection Include?
If the inspection involves a boiler, it will assess all components, including the flue, burner, controls, and other related parts. A boiler flue test is crucial for a gas safety certificate, as it verifies safe and efficient boiler operation. Typically conducted using a gas analyzer, this test measures Carbon Monoxide (CO) and other gas levels in the flue. The results indicate whether the boiler is functioning safely and if any repairs or adjustments are necessary.
- During a CP12, our engineer will inspect the flue of the gas boiler, which vents waste gases outside your property.
- A damaged flue can leak harmful carbon monoxide, so ensure it's properly sealed with flue cement; contact us to book a gas safety inspection for £45 with no hidden fees.
