Perhaps more importantly, issues such as carbon monoxide leaks can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Thankfully, with a little basic maintenance, landlords can neatly dodge these problems. Here’s how: [![Get My Free Quote](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/144823757/interactive-118236585688.png)](https://www.trustedboiler.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLAFRIAHpsXhN5HqLn395r3Z2NnszG3ivT0AcGGK332%2FOdgE6dJgIW3TQNIsCWFBDSmikTj62cIIuiqDIxcWwhBPfTVnVVsdKCEzUkswFVb72ua0K0JfZuIjFPDtKfngY2fY7Paxzq9zdxniNjdT9HN3nf190lk6mPD2KF1bd6S4EDIRHNomNFYUvVBewyfETLZ29KNNRy8BussdF1%2F61q9jHOxeBHLQ1E3zTI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=118236585688&portalId=144823757) ## **Why Is Boiler Maintenance Important?** Often, tenants are blissfully unaware of expensive (for landlords) problems that might be brewing inside their radiators. Whether it’s low pressure, high pressure, or frozen pipes, struggling boilers mean high costs for landlords. A yearly service can easily nip these problems in the bud, leading to a wide range of financial benefits. Other benefits of [boiler annual maintenance](https://www.trustedboiler.co.uk/blog/prepare-boiler-for-winter) include protecting the boiler warranty, as well as guaranteeing tenant safety by detecting carbon monoxide risks. ## **What Is My Legal Duty?** Under the [Landlord and Tenant Act 1985](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/70/data.pdf), the landlord has sole responsibility to ensure that the home is safe and habitable for tenants. This includes ensuring that appliances such as boilers are working and that the required safety certificates are provided. For boilers, this certificate is the CP12, which must be renewed annually. Failure to comply with these legal duties can result in hefty fines. ## **What Does Gas Safety Involve?** Carbon monoxide is the main hazard related to boilers. Carbon monoxide is generated when gas vents become blocked. The hazard is not something to brush aside: between 2010 and 2020, there were [1,777 UK deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning](https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/carbonmonoxidedeathsandpoisoningsforthepast10years). Another major hazard is a boiler explosion, with [twelve deaths and 178 injuries](https://www.ciphe.org.uk/news-and-advice/blog-articles/gas-explosions-rising-or-rare/) in residential properties between 2017 and 2022. These can happen when safety valves are faulty, or if the pressure regulating system fails. Gas escapes and poor combustion can also result in serious consequences. All of these hazards can be avoided with regular maintenance. ## **Do I Need To Inform My Tenants About Boiler Maintenance?** It’s worth doing so, yes. According to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, both landlords and tenants have a duty of care and maintenance regarding boilers, although in practice not many tenants are aware of this. Tenants are expected to inspect the boiler regularly and alert the landlord to any problems. Additionally, tenants need to report any damage to the boiler. Landlords should include these requirements as part of the signed tenancy agreement and moving in process to avoid confusion. The annual CP12 certificate renewal is an ideal time to remind your tenants about boiler safety, maintenance, and timely communication. Additionally, it is recommended that [landlords equip each property](https://www.trustedboiler.co.uk/blog/install-a-combi-boiler) with a book that clearly outlines boiler maintenance requirements, the correct pressure (between 1 and 1.5 bars), and the emergency gas phone number ## **What Next?** [Boiler safety is something that every landlord](https://www.trustedboiler.co.uk/landlords) and tenant needs to take seriously.
