    as some of you don't believe in getting your boiler serviced & that this it's a waste of money might want to look HERE

    A CO alarm is much cheaper. At least you know it's there all the time too.

    The problem is that so many gas engineers are lazy/incompetent/rip off merchants that a lot of people don't have faith in them. Honestly, last year the guy who did mine was such a cowboy that I was worried he might have actually left the boiler in an unsafe condition. And yes, I did check his gas safe card before letting him near the boiler. It does make me wonder whether it's safer just to leave it and have a decent CO alarm though I do convince myself each year that I will actually find someone competent. Hopefully British gas will restore my faith. We shall see.
