Doing DIY
Never DIY with gas
Last year, 14 people died from CO
poisoning related to gas and, 234 people suffered serious
health problems. Be gas safe in your home and never DIY with gas,
even if you think it might save you money.
If someone other than a Gas Safe
registered engineer does the gas work in your home, you
could be risking the safety of your family and your property.
If gas appliances are incorrectly fitted, badly repaired, or
poorly maintained, they can produce carbon
monoxide which can kill.
Make sure that you always use a Gas Safe
registered engineer to carry out gas work and service
appliances in your home.
