Visit SiteFAQs
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 charge my electric vehicle overnight?
Charging an EV overnight is efficient with both Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, taking advantage of lower nighttime electricity rates in the UK.
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.
Are boiler services worth it?
Yes, boiler services are worth it as they help ensure that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Regular servicing can also help identify any potential issues before they become major problems, which can save you money in the long run.
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.
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.
Do I need to turn boiler off before service?
It is not necessary to turn off your boiler before a service, as the engineer can do this as part of the service process, however it’s recommended to turn your boiler off before the service. This will ensure that it has time to cool down, allowing the engineer to work on it safely and efficiently.
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.
How long do boilers last?
The lifespan of a boiler can vary depending on several factors, such as usage and maintenance. On average, a boiler can last between 10-15 years.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
Do you legally have to get your boiler serviced every year?
While there is no legal requirement to have your boiler serviced annually, it is recommended by most manufacturers and boiler engineers to ensure that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently.
Can any electrician install solar panels, or do they need special certification?
While many electricians are capable of installing solar panels, it’s best to use an MCS-certified installer. This ensures that they have specific training and qualifications in solar energy systems, which is also a requirement to qualify for certain government incentives and feed-in tariffs.
