subject: Using The Services Of Gas Heating Engineers In Huddersfield [print this page] A few years ago, I was living in the north of England and although I love the place, I have to admit that it gets pretty cold and miserable at times, especially in the winter. One time I had to search for gas heating engineers in Huddersfield on a bank holiday, and trust me you do not wish to be searching for gas heating engineers, Huddersfield, or even gas heating engineers, Wakefield on a public holiday.
In the end, I was hunting for gas heating engineers, Halifax and gas heating engineers in Wakefield in the hope of finding one who would not only be willing to come out but also not charge an arm and a leg. My boiler had broken down a couple of days earlier and we were using a gas heater as a temporary measure but this also decided to let us down. Since we had a young child, we had to make alternative arrangements as soon as possible and in the end we had to pay the holiday rate which gas heating engineers in Halifax were charging at the time.
A gas heater is a device used to heat a room or outdoor area by burning natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Indoor household gas heaters can be broadly categorized in one of two ways: flued or non-flued, or vented and unvented. Gas heaters can be dangerous due both to risk of fire, and to the emissions, particularly in non-flued heaters. One of the dangers is the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning which can be fatal and the main reason for ensuring that any work you have done is by a fully certified engineer. This used to be Corgi Registered engineers but now Gas Safe Register is the official stamp for gas safety in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Guernsey. To work legally on gas appliances and installations an engineer must be on the Gas Safe Register.
Benefits of gas heating
Gas heaters provide fast, convenient and easily controlled heat.
If you already have appliances running on gas in your home, especially hot water, it can make economic sense to run your heating on gas as well because you are paying for the gas fixed charges already.
Gas is the cleanest burning, lowest emission fossil fuel, though it still emits more carbon dioxide than renewable sources of energy.
Some modern gas heaters have higher efficiency, so are cheaper to run.
Heater flues for gas fires can be run out of the house in any direction, horizontally and vertically. This means that gas heaters don't need to be on an outside wall and can be installed almost anywhere in the home
Having a gas heater in your home is a comforting thing and looks cosy and inviting as well as providing warmth and a central gathering place for family members. Just remember to have it serviced regularly by gas heating engineers in Halifax, or wherever you are in the country, who are professional, registered and competent.
