Gas stoves produce carbon monoxide and can fill your home with the dangerous gas.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t run your car in the garage. If you want to warm up your vehicle in the winter, pull out of the garage first. Carbon monoxide is a common byproduct of vehicle exhaust and builds up quickly in a closed (or even open) garage.<\/li>\n<li>Always have proper ventilation. It\u2019s extremely dangerous to run gas-powered tools (like generators, space heaters, and pressure washers) in an enclosed area like a basement or garage without adequate ventilation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15162&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<strong>For open flues:<\/strong>&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space]<ul class='dt-sc-fancy-list  yellow  rounded-tick'>\n<li>Check the condition and full route of the flue and where applicable the stability of any terminal or chimney pot fitted<\/li>\n<li>Check the appliance flue connection to chimney or flue liner<\/li>\n<li>For back boilers check all pipe ducts or voids entering the builder\u2019s opening including the annular space around flue liner<\/li>\n<li>Carry out a flue flow check<\/li>\n<li>For gas fires check and clear catchment space and check that the dampers have been removed or fixed in an open position<\/li>\n<li>Test the appliance for spillage using any guidance given in the manufacturers instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul><div id=\"1593253470232-8fc6f06c-b17f\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;<strong>For room sealed appliances:<\/strong>&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;]<div id=\"1593253447331-79822ab8-9138\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div><ul class='dt-sc-fancy-list  yellow  rounded-tick'>\n<li>Check case seals on appliances<\/li>\n<li>Check position of terminal, clearances from corners, vegetation and terminal guard<\/li>\n<\/ul><div id=\"1593255637007-94ae0fc2-0ce8\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]On completion a gas analyzer printout will be stapled to two copies of the gas safety form (CP12) to confirm that items inspected have been left in a safe condition.[\/vc_column_text]<a href='https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/?page_id=10918' target='_self' title='' class='dt-sc-button   medium   filled rounded-corner  ' > Book Now <\/a><div id=\"1593255673360-af18e946-b300\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div><div id=\"1593257389125-495414d7-9ca0\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div><div id=\"1593257387257-5b051552-3ff1\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div><div id=\"1593257384873-f0292b71-189c\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div><div id=\"1593257383139-51c4cb58-83f3\" class=\"dt-sc-empty-space\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;15846&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Landlords, Tenants and Home Owners&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;You are responsible for ensuring that your gas appliances and fittings are safe and to current standards.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Forward Heating Services can carry out an annual gas safety check for you.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Gas Safe Register now allows landlords and home owners to book [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15447"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15447"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15862,"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15447\/revisions\/15862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forwardheating.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
