🔸Gas Safety Week🔸
⚠️Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the ‘silent killer’ because you can’t see, smell, or taste it - carbon monoxide can be deadly.

Watch out for these warning signs in your home:

➡️Feeling unusually tired, dizzy, or short of breath
➡️Headaches, nausea, or confusion that improves when you leave the house
➡️Pets acting strangely or becoming unwell

The best way to protect yourself is with a working carbon monoxide alarm.

✅Test yours today – it only takes a few seconds, and it could save your life.

➡️If your alarm isn’t working, or you have any concerns:

⭐Gas Safety Week Challenge! ⭐

Each year, a number of gas safety check appointments need to be rescheduled with customers. Can you guess how many?

❓How many gas safety appointments were missed in the last year?

A) 150
B) 310
C) 415
D) 525

✅The correct answer is C - 415

⚠️Don’t be part of this statistic - missing your scheduled gas safety check appointment could mean we have to legally gain access to your home. It also puts you and your family at risk and leads to extra costs.

📆Need to reschedule your gas safety check appointment?

🔸Gas Safety Week🔸
Keeping your home safe from gas hazards is important but there are lots of myths that could put people at risk.

❓Myth: “If my boiler looks fine, it doesn’t need a check”
✅Fact: Gas issues aren’t always visible. That’s why we carry out annual safety checks, to spot hidden problems before they become dangerous.

❓Myth: “I don’t need a gas safety check because I rarely use my appliances”
✅Fact: Even appliances that are rarely used can develop faults. Yearly checks ensure everything is safe, protecting you and your home.

❓Myth: “A carbon monoxide alarm is enough - I don’t need a gas safety check.”
✅Fact: Alarms can alert you if carbon monoxide is present, but they don’t prevent leaks or detect hidden gas faults. Regular checks are essential.

➡️Keeping you safe is our priority. Gas safety checks are legally required. If access isn’t provided, we will have no choice but to legally gain access to your home.

We hope this won’t be necessary and are happy to work with you to find a suitable appointment time.

👋Meet Keal – one of our skilled Dalex Gas Engineers.

If you’ve got gas in your home, chances are you’ve already met Keal. He’s out and about every day carrying out essential gas safety checks and stepping in to help with repairs when things go wrong.

Keal can visit up to 250 BHA homes every month, making sure everything is running safely and efficiently.

Here’s Keal’s top tip for keeping your home gas safe:

“Never try to fix gas appliances yourself – it’s just not worth the risk. Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer. Help us make sure your home is gas safe, not sorry.”

All gas engineers working in the UK must be Gas Safe registered. You can check if an engineer is registered by visiting https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/ .

If you’re ever unsure, ask to see their Gas Safe ID card – it’s there to give you confidence that the work is being done right.

Of course, Keal is just one part of the Dalex team, who work hard behind the scenes to keep our customers safe and warm in their homes – Thank you!
