If your gas cooker is not serviced or well maintained, it could become faulty and put you and your family at risk.
All fossil burning appliances can produce carbon monoxide, including LPG gases such as Butane and Propane. Solid fuel appliances, such as coal or log burners, can also emit carbon monoxide, if not maintained correctly.
Purpose-made ventilation must not be blocked or compromised, as fresh air is required to ensure the appliance can operate safely.
We have had carbon detectors activated when people have been using shisha pipes and burning coal to warm air fragrances. This is very dangerous and has resulted in carbon monoxide setting off the alarms.
It is important that you do not do this in your home.
We have installed carbon monoxide alarms in every home. If yours goes off, you must contact the gas emergency service provider immediately on 0800 111 999, open windows and doors and leave the property.
It is very important you allow us access for your annual gas/electric safety inspections in your home.
