A Landlord or Home Inspection Check is designed to provide a visual and functional check of the Gas Installation, the Central Heating System, and Apliances.The Technical Home Services inspection comprises a visual check of all visible and easily accessible components of the respective installations and appliances. Those parts of the system concealed under floorboards and within the fabric of the building are not inspected.
 
Full functional checks are carried out to the installation and appliances and the relevant results noted. The report identifies the safety and functionality of each installation and appliance that have been inspected. The report concludes with appropriate recommendations for attention and advice.

Summary of basic checks

• The safety check of a gas appliance needs to address as a minimum:-  
• The effectiveness of any flue;  
• The supply of combustion air;  
• Its operating pressure or heat input, or where necessary, both;  
• Its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning  

What's the Difference Between a Gas Safety Check and an Appliance Service?

Many Landlords confuse appliance servicing with annual safety checks. They are not the same. A Gas Safety Check is similar to a car MOT, whereby the basic safety of the appliance is checked, it does not by itself ensure the long term safe operation and efficiency of the appliance. Having an appliance safety checked each year does not satisfy the legal duties placed on Landlords and Landlords must also have appliances routinely serviced.
 
If an appliance is serviced, this is like having your car serviced. It improves its efficiency, it improves the reliability and means there is less likelihood of a breakdown. It also spots other faults with the appliance that may not be picked up during a Gas Safety Check, enabling them to be put right quickly and safely,. Please enquire about Technical Home Services contracts
We would strongly urge all Landlords to have their gas appliances serviced at the same time that a safety check is carried out.
 
Technical Home Services Ltd always service appliances when landlord inspections are undertaken please ask for specification. Electrical Inspections also undertaken please ask for specification.
