GAS SAFETY WEEK: FIGHTING FOR A GAS SAFE NATION

bachmanity • 20 November 2019

We are proud to be supporting Gas Safety Week 2015, taking place 14th – 20st September.

Gas Safety Week is an annual safety week to raise awareness of gas safety and the importance of taking care of your gas appliances. It is co-ordinated by Gas Safe Register, the official list of gas engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas.

Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. Every year thousands of people across the UK are diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a highly poisonous gas. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.

Landlords are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants. Landlords should make sure maintenance and annual safety checks on gas appliances are carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

If you’re a landlord, you are legally obliged to make sure:

  • Pipe-work, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition.
  • All appliances and flues provided for tenants use have an annual safety check. Set a reminder so you don’t forget at  www.staygassafe.co.uk.
  • Maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out by an engineer registered with Gas Safe Register.
  • All gas equipment (including any appliance left by a previous tenant) is safe or otherwise removed before re-letting.
  • A Gas Safety Record is provided to the tenant within 28 days of completing the check or to any new tenant before they move in.
  • You keep a copy of the Gas Safety Record for two years.

Before any gas work is carried out always check the engineers ID card and make sure the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing. Encourage your tenants to do the same.

For more information and to find and check an engineer go to  www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk  or call 0800 408 5500.

Carbon Reduction Grant from Phoenix Energy – NEW installations only

by 0014958641 • 30 January 2024
Action Renewables supports the Carbon Reduction Grant, in recognition of the CO2 savings which can be achieved by switching from oil or solid fuels to natural gas. This fuel transition results in an estimated 50% CO2 reduction (based on a 28% differential in carbon emissions between burning oil and natural gas and assuming up to a further 30% saving through heating system efficiencies). This grant is an opportunity for householders to switch to gas and reduce their emissions. In addition, Action Renewables is actively involved in facilitating a pathway for renewable gas injection to decarbonise the natural gas network. The Carbon Reduction Grant is income based (household income less than £55k) and will provide a grant of £400* towards the cost of connection and installation of gas to your household. For further information please call 02890343665 or fill in a contact form and we can call you back.

The future for heating

Have you ever wondered about the future of heating your home as we move towards our governments carbon zero goal? You might not have realised that your current boiler can already manage up to 20% hydrogen blend which is a carbon free gas. So, once we begin to blend hydrogen into the gas network, it’s good to!
