Gas Fire Servicing
You should get your gas fire serviced regularly to make sure it’s working properly and is safe as well as it is maintaining the fire’s manufacturer’s warranty.
A faulty gas fire could waste you money on energy and might even start leaking poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Because the gas is colourless and scentless, it’s hard to tell if one of your appliances starts leaking carbon monoxide – so you should get them serviced by a Gas Safe Registered engineer once a year.
If, during the gas fire service, we notice anything that needs to be replaced or more detailed repairs our engineers will discuss this with you before carrying out any additional work.
If you’ve already taken out one of our comprehensive maintenance plans, then it may be that everything is already covered, if not, we recommend considering the range of plans we have on offer to take the stress away from maintaining and repairing your boiler.
LPS Heating & Plumbing are available to service gas fires for home-owners, private landlords and businesses across, Leeds, Bradford & Harrogate.
