Gas boiler articles to entertain you!

If you smell gas act quickly – it is poisonous.

The common advice you should take is:-

• open any doors and windows to improve ventilation
• make sure that the gas supply to an appliance has not been left on or that the pilot light has not gone out
• do not use matches or naked flames
• turn the gas supply off at the gas meter
• do not smoke in the are
• do not turn any electrical switches on or off – including light switches and doorbells as they can create a spark and ignite the gas

This also applies if carbon monoxide is on the loose.

Gas boilers are very safe but need regular servicing to ensure that no problems arise.
