FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our commercial gas interlock system installations and repairs in Wolverhampton & West Midlands.

Do I really need a gas interlock system if I have windows that open?

+

Yes. Under BS 6173, natural ventilation like open windows or doors is not considered a substitute for a mechanical extraction system in a professional kitchen. If you have a mechanical fan, it must be interlocked with the gas supply to ensure fumes are being actively removed while appliances are in use.

What happens if my kitchen fans fail during a busy shift?

+

If your fans stop working, the interlock system will immediately cut the gas supply to your appliances. While this is frustrating during a service, it is a vital safety feature. If this happens, you should check for tripped circuit breakers first. If the fan is definitely broken, you will need a qualified engineer to repair the ventilation before the gas can be turned back on.

Does my interlock system need regular servicing?

+

Yes, it should be checked at least once a year as part of your annual commercial gas safety inspection (CP42). We check that the solenoid valve is opening and closing correctly and that the sensors are accurately detecting airflow. Regular maintenance prevents "nuisance tripping" where the gas cuts out even when the fans are working fine.

How long does it take to install a new system?

+

Most standard kitchen interlock installations can be completed within a single day. We often schedule this work for early mornings or days when the kitchen is closed to make sure we don't get in the way of your chefs.

Can you repair an old interlock system that keeps cutting the gas off?

+

In many cases, yes. It is often a faulty air pressure switch or a sensor that has become clogged with grease. We can diagnose the fault and replace the specific component rather than replacing the whole system, saving you money.
