Keeping your home safe during Gas Safety Week

Gas Safety Week takes place every September to raise awareness about the vital importance of gas appliance safety. As an experienced gas engineer at Future-Proof Heating Ltd, your safety is always my primary priority.

Badly fitted and poorly maintained gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are essential warning signs to look out for:

• Lazy yellow or orange boiler flames instead of crisp blue ones

• Black marks or brown stains around or on appliances

• Increased condensation inside windows

• Pilot lights that regularly blow out

Always ensure your appliances are serviced annually by a registered professional, and install an audible carbon monoxide alarm in every room with a fuel-burning appliance.
