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.

Charging an EV overnight is efficient with both Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, taking advantage of lower nighttime electricity rates in the UK.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Regular servicing, keeping the area around the boiler clean, and checking the pressure gauge can help to prevent potential issues with your boiler.

No, you need to obtain a new Gas Safety Certificate for each new tenancy or every 12 months, whichever comes first.

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.

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.

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.
