| Been Disconnected? |
| |
If your installer
becomes aware of an unsafe or dangerous gas appliance he is required
by law to take appropriate action. In certain circumstances this may
require disconnecting the appliance. Your installer will ask your
permission to disconnect the appliance, which is for your own safety.
However, if you refuse, they may be required to contact the emergency
service provider, which has legal disconnection powers.
If your gas appliance has been disconnected you should not use it
until it has been checked by a CORGI-registered installer. If you
attempt to use an appliance that has been disconnected you may be
breaking the law and putting yourself and your family at risk.
Your registered installer will be able to advise you what is the most
appropriate action regarding your appliance. For example, if it can
be repaired or if the appliance should be replaced. Remember:
- Always use a registered installer
- Ask to see the CORGI ID card
- Never DIY
- Don't block up ventilation
- Have gas appliances regularly checked
