We’re now firmly into autumn, so it’s time for us to talk about keeping your home safe AND warm as the weather worsens. With rising energy prices on the horizon for homes and businesses alike, this is no time to cut corners, and trusting a Gas Safe Engineer can save money and lives.

A serviced central heating systems uses less energy to heat your home, so it’s a money saver – but it could also be a life saver. We’ve all seen a number of gas explosions in the news recently, and the effects are devastating. We don’t want any family to go through such a traumatic event, which is why all of our engineers are Gas Safe registered. We know our stuff, and we know how to keep your home warm, your bills down, and your family safe too.

There are steps you can take to keep your home safe and warm before we hit the winter months; plan them in now so the weeks don’t slip by.

Use the Gas Safe Register

You should only ever trust a registered Gas Safe Engineer to perform any work on your central heating system; anyone else just isn’t safe. If you’ve got a problem or an emergency talk to Saltire, or visit the Gas Safe Register to find someone who is an expert at working with gas as safely as possible: visit gassaferegister.co.uk or call 0800 408 5500 before you let anyone into your home.

Have a working carbon monoxide alarm

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, and deadly. It doesn’t take much carbon monoxide in the home to have fatal results, so it’s vital that you have a carbon monoxide monitor, and that you know they’re working.

Know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning; headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapse, and loss of consciousness. If you’re concerned about a carbon monoxide leak, open your doors and windows, get outside, and call the National Gas Helpline immediately on 0800 111 999.

Look after those around you

Not everyone knows about carbon monoxide, or about looking after appliances to stay safe at home. If you have vulnerable friends, family, or neighbours, why not talk to them and make sure they know how to get their boiler serviced by a trusted engineer, or make sure they’ve got the correct fire alarm system fitted? The legislation around fire alarms changed in February in Scotland, and everyone should have an interlinked wireless system fitted by now.

If your boiler needs serviced, your central heating isn’t working as well as it should, or you haven’t installed a legally compliant fire alarm system yet, talk to our 24/7 call centre. All of our customer service representatives are highly trained and know just what to do, whether you need to book an engineer visit or have a home emergency.
