With more and more consumers looking for quality, trained engineers to look after their appliances, HETAS has developed the Approved Servicing scheme to accommodate those wishing to gain recognition for this scope of work.
HETAS has developed the Approved Servicing scheme to target the needs of:
- Maintenance engineers looking to extend their work into solid fuel
- Property management businesses responsible for checking open fires or solid fuel stoves
- Chimney sweeps extending their accreditation to cover appliance servicing
- Former installers of stoves now switching over to servicing and maintenance visits.
What do we check?
Make sure you have the following information handy to support your application:
- Colour passport-style photo
- Public Liability Insurance policy schedule (£2mil and specifically covers the work you are carrying out under HETAS)
- Website
- Social media pages
How will it be regulated?
As well as our monthly newsletter, access to dedicated insurance services and appearing in our popular online ‘find servicing‘ search, another advantage of HETAS Servicing technician approval is access to mediation. Although these are very rare, any complaint from a member of the public about a HETAS Approved Servicing technician would be assessed fairly to establish the facts on both sides and come to an agreement or a suitable way forward.
Need to train?
The minimum qualification needed to join is the HETAS H009 Service and Maintenance Course. You can also join if you hold the H003 Dry Installer Course. Contact a HETAS Training Centre to find out more.
