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.
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.
What is an EICR, and when do I need one?
The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses all electrical installations in your property to ensure they are safe and up to standard. Landlords must have a valid EICR for their properties, which must be renewed every five years.
How long does a gas boiler repair take?
The length of time it takes to repair a gas boiler can vary depending on the severity of the issue. However, most repairs can be completed within a few hours to a day.
Do I need to have the boiler serviced in my rental property?
While there is no legal requirement to service the boiler annually, it is highly recommended. Regular servicing helps ensure the boiler operates safely and efficiently, and it can also prevent costly repairs in the future. Moreover, an annual boiler service is often required to maintain the warranty on the boiler.
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.
What are the common signs of a gas leak?
The common signs of a gas leak include the smell of gas, hissing or whistling sounds near gas appliances, a yellow or orange flame instead of blue, and physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. If you smell gas coming from your boiler, you should immediately turn off the gas supply and contact a professional for repairs. Do not attempt to fix the issue yourself. Call the Cadent hotline immediately.
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.
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.
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
Do I need an OLEV-approved installer to fit my home EV charger?
To qualify for government incentives like the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), your EV charger must be installed by an OLEV-approved (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer. These installers have met specific standards and are authorised to install EV charging points under UK government programs.
Can I repair my gas boiler myself?
It’s not recommended to repair your gas boiler yourself, as it can be dangerous and can result in further damage or injury. Instead, it’s best to leave the repairs to a trained and certified professional.
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.
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 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.
How often should I have my gas boiler serviced?
You should have your gas boiler serviced at least once a year to ensure it’s functioning properly and to prevent potential breakdowns. Regular maintenance can also help extend the life of your boiler.
Does the engineer servicing my property’s gas appliances need to be qualified?
Yes, any engineer working on gas appliances in your property must be Gas Safe registered. This registration is a legal requirement to ensure that all work is performed safely and competently. Always check the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card before allowing them to start work on your property.
What time of year should I service my boiler?
It is recommended to have your boiler serviced in the summer or early autumn months, before your energy requirements start increasing for winter. This reduces the chance of a boiler breakdown when your home needs heating the most.
What is the Gas Safe Register?
