We carry out a safety check every year in all our council homes fitted with oil or solid fuel heating. This service helps to make sure that our appliances are completely safe and that they are working properly.
Faulty appliances can be dangerous as they may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide can kill without warning in just a few hours:
- you can't see it
- you can't taste it
- you can't even smell it
If you don't let us check your oil-fired or solid-fuel appliances, you may be putting your life at risk.
Oil and solid-fuel safety check appointments
As part of your tenancy agreement, you must let our engineers into your home to carry out this essential work.
We carry out safety checks every year. We will get in touch with you to arrange an appointment to carry out the service.
