If you’ve detected a gas smell coming from your boiler, you can check to see if the gas valve has come to be loose by squirting the fittings with a mixture of soap and water. If bubbles appear, then the fix is simple and includes tightening up the valve with a wrench.
If you don’t feel self-assured to carry out this test or if you can still smell gas after you’ve tensed the valve, then it is vital that you call your local boiler engineer and let a professional take a look.
In any event, it’s always sensible to refer registered gas engineers if you think you may have any kind of problem with your boiler. Don’t just rely on your sense of smell.
Some of us have an impaired sense of smell, or the smell of gas might not be clear due to other odours in the vicinity. It may be that somewhat in the atmosphere is covering up the smell making it almost undetectable.
Regular upkeep of boilers is a must to keep your boiler well-organized and harmless.
