I had a boiler service approx a month ago on my rented property. This showed everything to be ok and quoted a co/co2 ratio reading of 0.0009.
Last weekend the carbon dioxide alarm went off and was attended to by the emergency services and the boiler was turned off. My tenant was informed that it could not be turned back on unless it has a gas safety check and was signed off. The company who did the original safety check returned to check the boiler and found a CO2 level of 9.6. Not only this but there was a considerable of rust within the boiler where the CO2 has been leaking.
I am not very knowledgeable with plumbing and therefore would just like to ask if it is possible that such a level of rust could occur within 1 month, surely this should have been picked up at the annual service of the boiler.
Could anyone please advise?
