Boiler Related Gas Explosions Are More Deadly Than A Hand Grenade

Fair Fix, the boiler engineer company research reveals that there were 270 gas explosions in homes across England in 2021/22, 30% of which resulted in significant human injury or death.

The typical gas explosion damage and injury radius ranges between 10-35 meters. To put this into perspective, a hand grenade has a blast radius of 20 meters, making it less catastrophic than the potential blast caused by a faulty boiler.

Founder of Fair Fix, Tyrone Ekrem, commented:
“Gas explosions can be devastating both in terms of force and consequences, and they’re all too often caused or facilitated by old or faulty boilers that have not been properly maintained.

"The cost of ignoring or delaying a gas safety check or boiler check is simply not worth the risk and it’s now easier, more affordable, and more convenient than ever to get your boiler checked and serviced.”

Annual Boiler Service will reduce the risk of gas explosions

Keeps your family safe

There could be a fault with your boiler that is going unnoticed. An annual service helps prevent fires, explosions, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide poisoning by finding faults and putting them right before they lead to serious problems.

Reduces your energy bills

An annual service ensures that your boiler is operating efficiently, helping to prevent heating fuel wastage and keeping your energy bills as low as possible.

Keeps your guarantee valid

If you have a new boiler, your guarantee will be invalidated if you don’t have annual services. Most manufacturers require a Gas Safe engineer performs a yearly boiler service or any repairs needed won’t be covered by the guarantee.

Prevents winter breakdowns

There is nothing worse than trying to turn your heating on when the weather gets cold, only to find there’s an issue with your heating system. It leaves the entire house freezing and grumpy family members with frosty feet. By having your Annual Boiler Service done yearly you can be sure there won’t be any issues when you need your heating most.

Keeps your business legal if you’re a Landlord

If you’re a landlord, you are legally required to get an annual gas safety certificate by a Gas Safe engineer. This certificate proves that all boilers, pipework, flues and gas appliances in your rented premises have been checked, repaired, and maintained in a safe condition.
