Following the recent heatwave, many homeowners may have been keen to give their living space a boost and make the most of the warm weather with a new extension or conservatory.
However, it could be said that in order to get the most out of the space it is important to consider how it will be heated so that it can still be used during the winter.
This may mean installing a new
gas boiler or linking the extension to an existing central heating system.
Online resource Risk Collective notes that while an extension can boost a property's value, it is important a professional is contacted when it comes to gas and electrical fittings.
"Make sure that the contractors your builders use for the plumbing, gas and electrics in your new extension are members of the appropriate bodies and know all the latest safety rules and regulations," the group states.
Britons investing in a new
gas boiler for their conservatory should contact a member of the Gas Safe
TM Register to fit the device.
And the UK trademark in gas safety recently warned homeowners against ever attempting such work themselves, as they could be putting the lives of their household at risk.
