The owner of the gas equipment is required to keep it in the same condition as not to endanger the life, health or property of people, "said Miloslav gap of E.ON Energie.
Once a year, the supply point must be under Decree no. 85/1978 Coll. ensure servicing gas equipment service technician. Periodic review of the gas appliance eliminates the risks associated with its operation. "The danger is if poorly tuned gas boiler leaking carbon monoxide," said the energy adviser Karl Srdečný of EkoWATT. Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that occurs when there is inadequate ventilation of gas appliances, such as a bad chimney. Stay in an area with a high concentration of carbon monoxide leads to suffocation.
Order an expert on time, or servicing declines
Early check the gas boiler is not only a question of health and safety, as well as finance. Regular service inspection of boilers as a prerequisite warranty for equipment during the warranty period. Inspection of boilers must always entrust to experts. "Inspections gas boiler includes a number of tasks. A worker checks the function and status of the machine, dismantles the primary heat exchanger, which cleans or replace worn or defective parts. Finally, inspect the leak tightness of the gas line, check the flue and set appropriate performance, "enumerated Libor Hrabačka, technical director at Vaillant. The result of such a service inspection is a confirmation of the inspection stamp and signature technology. For example, it can be used as evidence for the insurance company in case the fulfillment of an insured event.

The servicing of gas boilers and by customers increasingly demand, "confirmed the growing trend Miloslav gap.
Chimney and radiators can see for yourself, check the pressure and vent pipes
Because of the service in the gas boiler is required to call an expert, but in preparing some other parts of the heating system can advise the owner himself. For example, the legislation allows the cleaning of the chimney yourself. If the heater flue gas through an outer wall, for instance WAW, one can certainly independently verify whether the exhaust gas does not sit bats. Conservationists had already recorded dozens of similar cases.

Followed refill the heating system with water to the desired pressure, "said the proper procedure Libor Hrabačka.
