To qualify for government incentives like the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), your EV charger must be installed by an OLEV-approved (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer. These installers have met specific standards and are authorised to install EV charging points under UK government programs.

There is no specific "Fire Safety Certificate" for dwellings, but landlords must ensure that all properties meet required fire safety standards. This includes installing smoke alarms on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a usable fireplace or wood burner.

Most EVs are compatible with public chargers found across the UK, though Tesla cars may need an adapter for non-Tesla chargers. It’s always best to check compatibility with your vehicle manufacturer.

Regular use of rapid charging can accelerate battery wear over time. It’s recommended to use rapid charging when necessary and rely more on slower charging methods.

Yes, boiler services are worth it as they help ensure that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Regular servicing can also help identify any potential issues before they become major problems, which can save you money in the long run.

While radiator checks are not typically included in a boiler service, a qualified engineer may be able to perform additional checks on the system if requested. Ask CRS Matrix about extending a standard service package to include checking the radiators.

Regular servicing, keeping the area around the boiler clean, and checking the pressure gauge can help to prevent potential issues with your boiler.

If your boiler stops working, check the pressure gauge and try to troubleshoot the issue using the techniques outlined in this guide. If you’re unsure what’s causing the problem, it’s best to call a professional.

No, a boiler service is not the same as a gas safety check. While both are important, a gas safety check is a basic check of the gas appliances in your home to ensure they are safe to use. A boiler service, on the other hand, involves checking the individual boiler parts to make sure they are clean and working efficiently. Think of a boiler service and a safety check as the equivalent of a service and MOT on your vehicle.

Using an engineer who is not Gas Safe registered to work on gas appliances is illegal and can be extremely dangerous. It puts tenants at risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosions. Additionally, it can lead to significant legal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, if an incident occurs due to improper work.

A programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature of your home according to your schedule, so you can reduce heating or cooling when you’re away or asleep. By using a programmable thermostat, you can save up to 10% on your annual energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

There are several signs that your gas boiler may need repairs, including strange noises, leaks, weak or no heat, and unusual smells. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to contact a professional to inspect your boiler.

For furnished properties, landlords must ensure that all furniture and furnishings comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988. These regulations set levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture and other products containing upholstery.

If your gas safety certificate has expired, you will need to schedule a gas safety inspection as soon as possible. Our team at CRS Matrix can assist you with this. We will send a Gas Servicing Engineer to your property to carry out a full inspection and provide you with a new certificate once your gas appliances have been deemed safe. It is important to note that continuing to use gas appliances without a valid gas safety certificate can be dangerous and potentially illegal. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.

To obtain a copy of your Gas Safety Certificate, please contact us at CRS Matrix. Our team will be happy to assist you in retrieving a digital or physical copy of your certificate. Please provide us with your name and contact information, as well as the address where the gas appliance is installed. We may also need to verify your identity to ensure that we are releasing the certificate to the correct person. Once we have this information, we will work quickly to get you the documentation you need. Please note that there may be a small fee associated with providing a physical copy of your certificate.

In some cases, gas boiler repairs may be covered by homeowners’ insurance. However, it’s important to review your policy and check with your insurance provider to determine what is covered.

The amount of roof space required depends on the size of the system you wish to install. Typically, a standard residential solar panel system needs about 15-20 square metres of roof space.

You will receive the certificate via email from our certified engineer when the inspection is finished. This is typically within 48 hours (longer if done on the weekend). Depending on the scheduling and availability, we can examine the same day. Please note, there might be a small charge if we have to expedite outside of our normal procedures. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.

No, you need to obtain a new Gas Safety Certificate for each new tenancy or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
