What is a Gas Safety Certificate in Molesey, Surrey?
If you have gas appliances or gas heating in your Surrey home, you may have heard that you need a Gas Safety Certificate.
Gas Safety Certificates (also known as Gas Safety Records) are a must have.
What are they? How do they impact you?
Gas Safety is essential for homeowners and anyone who owns a property that operates gas appliances or gas heating. Gas Safety certification is one way that the government regulates the use of gas to keep renters safe, and is necessary for landlords, owners of holiday homes, and those who let rooms in their building to hold on their properties.
Gas safety should be the most important for you whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or tenant since, ultimately, your safety could be at risk.
What is a Gas Safety Certificate
Gas Safety Certificate is a certificate issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer that confirms your gas appliance is safe for use. It is also known as a CP12 certificate, and it is a legal requirement for all landlords in Chelmsford with gas appliances.
A Gas Safe registered engineer issues a Gas Safety Certificate when they inspect or maintain a gas appliance. These certificates must be updated annually for landlords to remain compliant with the law.
Who is required to have a Gas Safety Certificate?
While homeowners should consider having an annual gas safety check carried out, the law does not require it.
All landlords must have a yearly gas safety check and certification of all properties that have gas appliances. Landlords must obtain new Gas Safety Certificates annually for every appliance in each property.
One exception for landlords is that appliances owned by the tenant do not require a CP12 certificate.
Landlords should still maintain the flues connecting any tenant-owned appliances to ensure that they remain safe and in good working order.
