As a landlord you have a wide range of responsibilities including ensuring the health and safety of your tenants. Keeping the boiler and central heating in your rental properties running safely and efficiently is crucial not only to fulfil your legal obligations but also to protect your reputation and rental income. Under the Gas Safety Regulation 1998, all landlords are required by law to obtain a Gas Safety Certificate (often referred to as a CP12) which covers all gas pipework, flues and appliances which are installed in the property.
Electric heating is a new and innovative option which is becoming more popular in the UK. For homes with no access to mains gas, electricity has become a viable option. In addition, electric boilers do not require any flues or exhaust vents which means that they can be installed without disturbing the walls or roofs of the building. This can be very important when trying to heat listed buildings or flats in blocks which would traditionally require expensive scaffolding to provide access. Indoor air quality is another area where electric systems can be beneficial as they do not produce any moisture or particulates.
It is highly recommended that you have all gas appliances serviced once a year to ensure that they are working efficiently and safely. Any gas appliance left unchecked could pose a serious risk to you and your family including from carbon monoxide poisoning. Having your boiler serviced and safety checked annually is recommended for all homeowners and it's a legal requirement if you are a landlord. This list is not exhaustive and servicing requirements will vary depending on your specific boiler.
The gas boiler is the most important part of a central heating system. It's like a big fire that has a continuous supply of gas streaming into it from a pipe that goes out to a gas main in the street. When you want to heat your home, you switch on the boiler with an electric switch. A valve opens, gas enters a sealed combustion chamber in the boiler through lots of small jets, and an electric ignition system sets them alight. The gas jets play onto a heat exchanger connected to a pipe carrying cold water.
Oil boilers are now capable of doing practically everything that their gas counterparts can do and if you live in a area with no access to mains gas, oil-fired central heating is often the right choice for you. One of the major benefits of using an oil-fired system is that you can shop around for your fuel supply at any time as you are not tied into lengthy energy contracts. While oil boilers are less common in the UK than gas boilers, there are still a large number of oil-fired systems and we are able to perform practically all of the same services on oil systems as we can provide for gas systems including installations in many areas.
