Diagnose and repair faults gas faults
Not all repairers are the same Unlike some repair services, Flame
Fix diagnose and repair your fault and do not just replace
items until the problem disappears! Also we do not advocate
a replacement appliance unless there is good reason. However
if your boiler is old or uses a permanent pilot you should
consider changing it for a new condensing boiler as this will
save you money on gas and help
protect the environment.
The fault may lie in the heating system not the appliance and
we fault diagnose and replace failed motorised valves, timeclocks,
room thermostats, or leaking radiator valves where required.
Parts replaced are covered by a 12 months guarantee. |

Annual servicing why bother?
Gas appliances need regular servicing to ensure your safety,
that the appliance is operating efficiently and as a requirement
of Gas regulations; which recommend a regular schedule of maintenance
is carried out. Manufacurers also recommend annual servicing
and often forms part of their guarantee.
From 2007 it will form part of the home
buyers pack to ensure that details of maintenance and repair
work are recorded. Indeed Benchmark exisits
now, which requires all new appliances installed are properly
maintained.
Just as you would service your car and MOT it, gas appliances
should also be serviced. Landlords are
required to MOT (gas safety check) their appliances and installations
BY LAW. It is a recommendation
for home owners, remember gas appliances are inherently safe
but the safety of your family and home, depend on those safety
devices working correctly. Don't put family and your safety at
risk from Carbon
monoxide poisoning or dangerous incidents. Ensure you regularly
service your gas appliances.
