Gas distributors advise servicing appliances in summer as autumn waits grow longer

The Czech Republic is experiencing tropical temperatures, and most households are currently more concerned with cooling than heating. However, experts point out that now is the ideal time to prepare gas appliances for the upcoming heating season. GasNet, the Czech Republic’s largest gas distributor, recommends that people have their gas boilers and other equipment inspected during the summer. With the arrival of autumn, service companies see a significant annual increase in customer demand, and waiting times become longer.

With the start of the heating season in autumn, service companies are often already fully booked, and waits for routine inspections and any necessary repairs are longer. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns, improves operational safety and can also help reduce unnecessary heating costs. Gas boilers and other gas equipment should be inspected at least once a year.

While gas distributor GasNet maintains the gas pipelines, the operator is responsible for the functionality and technical condition of gas equipment downstream of the main gas shut-off valve and within the property. This is usually the property owner, who should always turn to specialist gas service companies for maintenance of household equipment.
