Hi all,

I just received a call to check out a boiler where the alarm has gone off.
I've advised customer to turn off gas and not to operate the boiler until I get there.

what important checks should I carry out?
the obvious checks that i'll do is check the flue seal and around the boiler...

anything else?
 
The usual.
Questions first, what appliances are there, what was in use at the Time ? was anyone cooking ?
Smoking etc ?
Check the most suspect appliance first. Check them one at a time. Be very thorough !
Take your time.
 
You can't do anything, unless you have your CO investigation element.

Tell them to switch ecv off an call supplier
 
champagne bottles opening set off co alarms, be aware at xmas :)
