Question 1

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 2

What should I do if I smell gas near my fire?

Accepted Answer

Open doors and windows to ventilate, turn off the gas at the meter if it is safe to do so, and avoid electrical switches, naked flames or phones inside. Leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Contact us afterwards for any repair.

Question 3

What does a gas fire service actually check?

Accepted Answer

We check the flame picture, spillage and ventilation, the flue where applicable, gas tightness, and the general condition of the fire and its controls, in line with Gas Safe safety requirements. We then clean and adjust the fire as needed.

Question 4

Can you tell me over the phone if my gas fire in Chatburn needs servicing?

Accepted Answer

We can give general guidance over the phone, but a proper answer needs an in person check of the flame, ventilation, flue and controls. Call us on 07880 240138 and we can talk through what you are noticing before booking a visit.

Question 5

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 6

Do older gas fires in Chatburn need servicing more often than modern ones?

Accepted Answer

The recommended interval is the same, once a year, regardless of age, though older fires in older Chatburn properties are more likely to show wear that needs attention. Annual servicing is what catches that wear early, whatever the age of the fire.

Question 7

How can I check you are Gas Safe registered before booking in Chatburn?

Accepted Answer

You can verify us independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113 before any work begins in Chatburn. Every Gas Safe registered engineer carries a unique ID card, and we are always happy for customers to check first.

Question 8

What Gas Safe register number can I check for Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating?

Accepted Answer

Register No. 640113. You can look this up independently on the official Gas Safe Register at any time, including before booking a gas fire service anywhere in Chatburn or Lancashire.

Question 9

What are the warning signs my gas fire needs attention?

Accepted Answer

A yellow or orange flame instead of blue, soot or black marks around the fire surround, an unusual smell when the fire is running, or a pilot light that will not stay lit are all signs your gas fire needs checking promptly by a Gas Safe engineer.

Question 10

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.
