Letting us into your home for our annual gas and electrical safety checks will help us keep you and your home safe. Plus, you could win a shopping voucher.
Why gas and electricity safety checks are so important
Faulty gas appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal, as well as fires and explosions.
Faulty electrical wiring, light fittings and sockets can also cause fires.
A properly maintained gas boiler also runs more efficiently which can reduce the amount of energy you use and help with fuel bills.
So, letting us do the checks really does keep you safe and help us make sure your home is the best it can be.
Prize draws
We’re offering extra incentives if you let us in the first time we make an appointment with you. If you let us in first time for a gas check, you’ll be
entered into a monthly prize draw to win a £250 voucher. Anyone who lets us in first time for an electrical check will receive a £25 Amazon gift card.
Liam, from Chorlton-cum-Hardy, was among
the first winners of our prize draw for gas servicing and is pictured here receiving his vouchers from Maureen Ward, Customer Voice and Community Investment Manager.
About appointments – We’re protecting your family, not inspecting your home
It’s vital tenants let us in to do all essential safety inspections, not just gas and electrical checks, and carry out any works needed to protect their safety and the condition of their homes.
Our engineers are only coming to your house to make sure it is safe and your heating, hot water and appliances are working safely and properly. They’re not there to inspect your home.
We know having someone come into your home can be inconvenient, and our priority is always to work with you. If you need extra support, have a health condition or there are other personal circumstances that make it harder for you to let us into your home for appointments, please contact us on 0161 448 4200.
We’ll provide any help we can to make sure essential safety checks can be completed without any further action.
If you don’t let us in after we’ve tried to support you and arrange access, we may have need to consider legal action. This could mean you have to pay our
court and legal costs, like the tenant who received the gas injunction.
