Why are ventilation and flues so important?
To help operate safely, all gas appliances need the following: • An adequate supply of air to help the complete combustion of gas; • efficient operation of their flue to remove any combustion products, including carbon monoxide (CO), that are produced Without these safety precautions dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up with the possibility of fatal consequences. There are some easy ways to help avoid the build up of carbon monoxide poisoning: • never block ventilation; • ensure that flues are kept clear at all times; • Have your appliance regularly maintained and annually serviced by a CORGI- registered installer.
