• The effectiveness of the flue

• That all ventilation requirements are to current standards

• The correct operation of all safety devices and that the boiler is safe for continuous use

• A final combustion analysis and measurement against tolerances set by the manufacturer’s instructions

• A visual inspection of any other encountered gas appliances

• Written notification of any gas safety defects which may affect the safe operation of your appliances

• An assessment of your current heating controls and best practice advice regarding energy efficiency

• Heating controls and best practice advice regarding energy efficiency
