Frequently Asked Question - When buying a property, should I check the central heating?

Of course you can ask to have a look at the last year's receipts for the fuel consumed. Check if it is a system such as gas, and then if it has been serviced on a regular basis. Get hold of a radiator at the maximum point in the accommodation and just the moment when you turn the air-release screw hold a lighted match to it. If you set up a lighted gas jet it isn't because gas has got into the system, it is the product of some corrosion that has started. It may only require some anti-corrosion fluid putting in the system which may not be enough. In every situation it is better to have a watchful glance round for leaks mainly at joints. Leaks can even leave ugly stains on carpets.
