Diagnose and repair faults gas faults |
|
Not all repairers are the
same Unlike some repair services, Pace Heating & Plumbing diagnose and repair
your fault and do not just replace items until the problem
disappears! Also we do not advocate a replacement appliance
unless there is good reason. However if
your boiler is old or uses a permanent pilot you should consider
changing it for a new condensing boiler as this will save you
money on gas and
help protect the environment.
The fault may lie in the heating system not the appliance and we
fault diagnose and replace failed motorized valves, time clocks,
room thermostats, or leaking radiator valves where required.
Parts replaced are covered by a 90 day guarantee.

Annual
servicing why bother? |
|
Gas appliances need
regular servicing to ensure your safety, that the appliance is
operating efficiently and as a requirement of Gas regulations;
which recommend a regular schedule of maintenance is carried
out. Manufacturers also recommend annual servicing and often
forms part of their guarantee.
From 2007 it will form part of the home buyers pack
to ensure that details of maintenance and repair work are
recorded. Indeed Benchmark exists now, which requires all new appliances installed are
properly maintained.
Just as you would service your car and MOT it, gas appliances
should also be serviced.
Landlords
are required to MOT (gas safety check) their appliances and
installations BY LAW. It is a
recommendation for home owners,
remember gas appliances are inherently safe but the safety of
your family and home, depend on those safety devices working
correctly. Don't put family and your safety at risk from
Carbon monoxide poisoning or dangerous
incidents. Ensure you regularly
service your gas appliances.
