Why is my boiler making strange noises?
Strange noises can be a sign of several issues, such as trapped air, a faulty pump, or a faulty valve. It’s best to call a professional to diagnose the issue.
What certificates do I need as a landlord in the UK?
As a landlord in the UK, you are required to obtain several key certificates to ensure the safety and compliance of your rental properties. These include the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) where applicable, and a Legionella Risk Assessment if needed. These certificates help ensure that your property meets health and safety standards.
What are the environmental benefits of electric vehicles and EV chargers?
EVs significantly reduce emissions compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged from renewable energy sources. The UK’s growing renewable energy capacity makes EVs increasingly sustainable.
What happens if I do not comply with these legal requirements on my rental property?
Non-compliance can result in significant fines, penalties, or even imprisonment for the most serious breaches. It can also invalidate your landlord insurance and expose you to legal claims from tenants.
What happens if I don’t get a gas safety certificate?
There might be severe repercussions. You (and your agent, if you have one) might be charged under the Gas Safety Regulations and receive a fine of up to £6,000 or spend up to six months in jail.
How should I choose the right home EV charger in the UK?
Consider the charging speed you need, budget, and the space available at your home. An electrical inspection might be necessary to ensure your home’s wiring can support the desired system. Consultation with a certified installer can provide personalised advice.
Does a plumber service your boiler?
Absolutely! Plumbers can be the heroes of your boiler’s story. They have the skills and know-how to give your boiler the TLC it needs during a service, ensuring it stays in tip-top shape. However, it is important to ensure that the plumber is Gas Safe registered, which is a legal requirement for anyone carrying out work on gas appliances in the UK. CRS Matrix, here in Leicester are fully Gas Safe registered.
All gas businesses and their engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register to carry out gas work legally.
Is there more information about about Boiler Checks and Boiler Servicing in Leicester?
Yes. The local Online News paper, The Leicester Mercury wrote an article about it.
How much does it cost to repair a gas boiler?
The cost of repairing a gas boiler can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the parts needed for the repair. On average, repairs can cost anywhere from £100 to £1,500 or more. Remember, without a service agreement or insurance you may be paying additional call-out charges.
Can I use a Gas Safety Certificate from a previous tenancy?
No, you need to obtain a new Gas Safety Certificate for each new tenancy or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
What is a smart meter?
A smart meter is a digital energy meter that measures your electricity or gas usage in real-time and sends that information to your energy supplier automatically.
How do I get a smart meter installed?
You can contact your energy supplier to request a smart meter installation. They will arrange a date for an engineer to come and install the meter.
Who is qualified to install an EV charger in the UK?
A qualified electrician who has specific training and certification in EV charger installation, such as the City & Guilds 2919, is required to install an EV charger in the UK. This ensures the installation is safe and compliant with UK electrical regulations.
Do they check radiators on a boiler service?
While radiator checks are not typically included in a boiler service, a qualified engineer may be able to perform additional checks on the system if requested. Ask CRS Matrix about extending a standard service package to include checking the radiators.
How often do I need to renew the EPC, and what does it involve?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property’s energy efficiency and is required whenever a property is built, sold, or rented. An EPC is valid for ten years, but it might need renewal sooner if you undertake significant energy efficiency improvements.
Can I service my own boiler?
No, it is not recommended to service your own boiler as it is important to have the correct qualifications and knowledge to do so safely. It is also a legal requirement to have a Gas Safe registered engineer carry out work on gas appliances
What is “vampire energy” and how can I save money by reducing it?
“Vampire energy” refers to the energy that electronic devices consume even when they are not being actively used. You can save money by unplugging devices when they are not in use, as this prevents them from using electricity unnecessarily and adding to your energy bill. More information can be found here: https://moralfibres.co.uk/slay-vampire-energy/
How do I choose the right installer for my EV charger?
It’s recommended to obtain multiple quotes and check online reviews or references for potential installers. Choosing an installer recommended by your charger’s manufacturer can also ensure compatibility and adherence to warranty conditions.
What responsibilities do landlords have regarding fire safety in furnished properties?
For furnished properties, landlords must ensure that all furniture and furnishings comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. These regulations set levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture and other products containing upholstery.
