There is even a well-known initiative called a Gas Safety Week, which is aimed to inform people about the importance of following gas safety rules and increase of awareness ratio. The other point of it is too remind tenants about the periodical maintenance works and to enforce them perform them.

• The main risks of disregarding regular testing of your gas equipment are:
• Carbon monoxide outburst caused by malfunctions of gas boilers, cookers, fires;
• Gas leakages causing poisoning and death;
• Fires/explosions.

Unfortunately, there is still a high percentage of people who have suffered from troubles described above, although there are simple rules to follow in order to avoid all of it. Excellent Plumbing is going to share them with you:

• Gas appliances and devices can be installed and maintained exclusively by certified engineer;
• Dealing with a gas engineer don’t be shy to ask for license/certificate and documents, otherwise, it may cost you life. Check the list of services allowed to be performed to those you ordered;
• Perform at least annual check of all your gas equipment and appliances;
• Remember the main signs of carbon monoxide poisoning: headaches, feeling sick, dizziness, breathlessness, feeling of losing consciousness;
• Be attentive to the unusual signs during the work of appliances: weak yellow flame, unknown black spot at the appliance, too much condensate produced;
• Install the carbon monoxide alarm system with loud sound;
