What is the Gas Safe Register?
The Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work safely and legally on gas appliances, fittings, and flues. You can find it here: https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/
How can I prevent issues with my boiler?
Regular servicing, keeping the area around the boiler clean, and checking the pressure gauge can help to prevent potential issues with your boiler.
Can I check if my property has a gas safety certificate?
If you are unsure whether your property has a current gas safety certificate, you can contact us at CRS Matrix and we can help you verify this information. We will need to know the address of the property and the date of the last inspection. If there is no existing certificate or the current certificate has expired, we can arrange for a gas safety inspection to be carried out at your property. This will help ensure that your property is safe and compliant with gas safety regulations.
How quickly can I get a Gas Safety Certificate?
You will receive the certificate via email from our certified engineer when the inspection is finished. This is typically within 48 hours (longer if done on the weekend). Depending on the scheduling and availability, we can examine the same day. Please note, there might be a small charge if we have to expedite outside of our normal procedures. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.
How can insulating my home help me be more eco-friendly and economical?
Insulating your home helps keep it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can reduce your heating and cooling needs and save you money on your energy bills. Proper insulation can also reduce air leaks and improve indoor air quality.
Are smart meters safe?
Smart meters are designed and tested to meet strict safety standards. They use low-level radio waves to transmit data, which are well within the safety limits set by the relevant authorities.
Is a Legionella Risk Assessment mandatory for landlords?
While not mandatory for all properties, landlords are obligated under the Health and Safety at Work Act to assess the risk of exposure to Legionella to ensure the safety of their tenants, particularly if the property has old pipes or a rarely used water system.
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.
Can you sell a house without a boiler service?
While there is no legal requirement to have a boiler service before selling a house, it may be beneficial to have one carried out as it can give potential buyers peace of mind.
How can I ensure my property is legally compliant for tenants?
Regularly review and adhere to the latest landlord regulations, conduct all required safety checks, maintain all necessary certificates up-to-date, and ensure any required assessments like the EPC, Gas Safety, and EICR are conducted within the legal time frames.
Can any electrician perform PAT testing, or do they need special certification?
While any qualified electrician can technically perform PAT testing, it is advisable to use an electrician who has specific training and equipment for PAT testing. Certifications in PAT testing, such as the City & Guilds 2377, indicate that the electrician has received training focused on the specific requirements and procedures of PAT testing.
How do I know if I can get a smart meter?
Energy suppliers are obligated to offer smart meters to their customers. You can check with your energy supplier or the relevant government agency to see if you are eligible.
Can I switch energy suppliers if I have a smart meter?
Yes, you can switch energy suppliers even if you have a smart meter. Your new supplier should be able to use the same smart meter to measure your energy usage.
How can I maximise the lifespan of my EV battery?
To maintain battery health, try to keep charging between 20% and 80% capacity and use timed charging to avoid keeping the battery at 100% for extended periods. Modern smart chargers can help manage this automatically.
Do I need a Fire Safety Certificate for my rental property?
There is no specific “Fire Safety Certificate” for dwellings, but landlords must ensure that all properties meet required fire safety standards. This includes installing smoke alarms on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a usable fireplace or wood burner.
How long should a boiler service take?
A boiler service typically takes around an hour to complete, although this may vary depending on the type of boiler and the complexity of the service.
What are some sustainable transportation options that can help me save money and reduce my carbon footprint?
Walking, biking, and using public transportation are all sustainable transportation options that can help you save money on fuel and car maintenance, as well as reduce your impact on the environment. Walking or biking to work is also a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while reducing transportation costs.
What are some examples of reusable items I can use to be more eco-friendly and save money?
Some examples of reusable items include cloth napkins, refillable water bottles, and reusable shopping bags. These items may require a larger initial investment, but they can save you money in the long run by reducing the need to buy disposable items repeatedly.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, usually involving periodic cleaning and an annual check to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Most systems are designed to be relatively maintenance-free.
