Gas Safety Week

In support of Gas Safety Week (14-20 September 2020), local Gas Safe registered engineers from PANDA Plumbing and Heating Ltd in Manchester and Wigan are participating in a Social Media Campaign, to inform the public of gas safety issues and to remind everyone of the importance of having an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

This Gas Safety Week we are celebrating the tenth year of keeping people safe and focusing on how to help your local community to stay gas safe during these difficult times, what to do if you suspect your gas engineer is an illegal fitter, and advise not to DIY when it comes to gas and leave it to  a Gas Safe Registered engineer

Gas appliances that have not properly been maintained can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon monoxide is known as the ‘silent killer’ because you can’t see, smell or taste it. Therefore, it is highly important to have your gas appliances checked by an engineer who is listed on the Gas Safe Register.

Paul Lloyd who owns PANDA Plumbing and Heating Ltd said: “It is our job to make sure that people’s gas appliances are operating safely and efficiently. In some instances, people do not know the signs and symptoms of faulty gas appliances and carbon monoxide poisoning. Because of this, we are supporting Gas Safety Week in order to alert the public of the seriousness of unsafe gas appliances and how they can keep themselves and their families safe.”
