This article is more than 1 year oldFaulty gas appliances can be dangerous to your health. It is important they are tested regularly and you know how to recognise if appliances are faulty. All gas appliances need the following:
- an adequate supply of air to help the complete combustion of gas
- efficient operation of their flue to remove any combustion products, including carbon monoxide, that are produced.
Without these safety precautions dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up in your home. There are some easy ways to help avoid the build-up of carbon monoxide:
- never block ventilation
- ensure that flues are kept clear at all times
- have your appliance regularly maintained and annually serviced by a gas safe registered engineer.
