Ensuring your boiler is safe and functioning properly is a critical part of home maintenance. For Hampshire residents, regular boiler safety checks provide peace of mind, protect your family, and keep your heating system running efficiently. At Forte Heating Services, we specialise in professional boiler safety checks to help you maintain a warm, safe home all year round.
What Are Boiler Safety Checks?
A boiler safety check is a thorough inspection carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. The purpose of the check is to ensure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, with no potential hazards like gas leaks or carbon monoxide emissions. During a safety check, the engineer will:
- Inspect the boiler and its key components
- Check for signs of leaks, wear, or corrosion
- Test gas pressure and flow rates
- Ensure the flue and ventilation systems are working correctly
At the end of the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report of the findings, and if any issues are detected, the engineer will recommend appropriate repairs or maintenance.
Why Are Safety Checks Important?
Protect Your Home and Family
Faulty boilers can lead to dangerous gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning. Regular checks help identify and address these risks before they become serious.
Save Money on Energy Bills
A well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and lowering your bills.
Prevent Costly Repairs
Catching small issues early during a safety check can save you from expensive breakdowns or replacements in the future.
Meet Legal Requirements (For Landlords)
If you’re a landlord in Hampshire, annual boiler safety checks are a legal obligation under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Landlords must provide tenants with a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) to confirm the property’s appliances are safe to use.
When Should You Schedule a Safety Check?
We recommend scheduling a boiler safety check once a year, ideally before the winter months. This ensures your heating system is ready to handle increased usage during colder weather. If you notice unusual signs like strange noises, leaks, or inconsistent heating, don’t wait—book a check immediately.
