Landlord Certification                                                                        

All gas and electrical appliances and installations in rented accommodation should be tested and certified as being safe, annually.  If they are not, the landlord could be liable for any resulting damage or injury sustained by any accident caused by the gas installation.

Defective gas appliances can leak deadly Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas which is undetectable, you can't see it, smell it or even taste it, but it can cause injury and even be fatal.

Landlords cannot ignore their liability for death or personal injury resulting from gas maintenance negligence.

Hinton Heating offer specifically designed inspections for landlords to ensure that their installations comply with all the relevant regulations, these include

• GAS INSPECTIONS. Inspection and testing of the gas installation and appliances such as boilers, cookers and fires. Detection of any gas leaks or the presence of any carbon monoxide.
• GAS BOILER SERVICE. Neglected gas boilers can be the principle source of leaks, both Gas and Carbon Monoxide. Regular servicing protects your tenants, reduces your potential liability, extends boiler life and ensures economic operation.

Penalties for infringement can be severe, with fines to a maximum of £5,000, six months imprisonment(or more) or both.
