What to Expect From an Annual Gas Appliance Service
Gas appliances are often utilised in commercial buildings, as a reliable, versatile and cost effective power source. For instance, large commercial kitchens may depend on gas ovens and stove tops, whilst many office blocks and public premises will be heated by a gas boiler.
These kinds of appliances tend to work well if they are properly maintained, where this includes regular servicing. A qualified gas engineer will be able to complete an annual or biannual inspection of your appliances, ensuring that everything remains in good working order.
Read on to find out more about what you can expect from your annual gas appliance servicing.
Initial Checks
Your annual service should be booked in advance, as a form of preventative maintenance. As such, you will be able to ensure that your appliances are accessible ahead of the arrival of your gas engineer. Initially, they will conduct a visual overview of your appliance and its surroundings, noting any overt signs of damage or wear.
Appliance Inspection
From here, your engineer will carry out a more in-depth inspection. This will usually include an analysis of various key components, including appliance burners, flues, seals, heat exchanges and gaskets. They will also verify that all safety equipment, like flame failure devices, are functioning correctly.
Deep Clean
Your gas engineer will then clean the appliance as needed, removing any debris or buildup that could affect its performance. They may also lubricate any moving parts and adjust the appliance settings in order to ensure optimal operation.
Testing & Certification
After the main body of the service has been completed, the engineer will conduct detailed tests to ensure your appliance is working safely and efficiently. Usually, they will then provide you with a Gas Safety Record, detailing the work carried out and any recommendations for further action.
Additional Checks
Depending on the type of appliance being serviced and the engineer's assessment style, they may also conduct further specialist checks. This could include checking the gas pressure and flow, inspecting the pipework for leaks, or assessing the suitability of the appliance for the space that it's currently in.
