Gas is one of the sources of energy that causes the least environmental impact. In addition, it is one of the most accessible and economical for family use. However, although safety conditions are quite high, it is recommended to take into account some safety tips to keep our gas installation in good condition.
Who does the maintenance of the gas installation?
The authorized distribution companies have a qualified technical service that is responsible for the maintenance of the gas installation.
It is important that if you observe something unusual in the operation of the installation, immediately notify the manufacturer or any of the authorized companies like commercial access control security, to review and solve the incident effectively and completely safe.
What elements should be reviewed of the gas installation?
The most important elements of a gas installation, and which should be reviewed periodically, are:
- The flexible tubes.
- The ventilation system.
- The quality of the flame.
- The leaks.
How to check the pipes of the gas installation
One of the elements that must be revised and changed periodically is the flexible tubes that make up our natural gas installation. It is vital that the spare parts are approved and comply with current regulations on safety. For this, it is enough to notify the technician of the authorized company.
What to check the ventilation system of the gas installation?
In order for the ventilation system of the gas installation to be adequate, it is important to check the grids and the outlet pipes. They should not accumulate dust or be clogged. For this, it is advisable to maintain good cleaning and ventilate the house usually.
What is the optimum flame quality of a gas installation?
When you are in the kitchen, it is interesting that you observe the quality of the flame at the moment when the gas burns:
A blue and constant flame, with no ups and downs in pressure, is the best proof of proper combustion.
On the contrary, if you notice that the pots and pans you use end up stained black by the smoke of the flame, warn the technician because it is a clear symptom of bad combustion.
How to detect leaks in a gas installation?
The easiest way to detect leaks in a gas installation is through smell. In case you notice a gas smell, the first thing you should do is check that the stove and the stopcock are off and open the windows to ventilate the room.
If the smell persists, leave the house and notify the technical service immediately. Under no circumstances should you handle switches, electrical appliances or light a cigarette.
Finally, if you are going to be away from home for a long period, close the general key for safety and avoid problems during your absence.
