Safety in Systems: When to Stop with DIY

some jobs are to be left to the professionals

Many home maintenance tasks can be tackled independently, combining a passion for DIY with significant cost savings.

In many cases, having basic tools and following a technical guide is sufficient; however, it is essential to recognize which jobs must remain the exclusive responsibility of professional technicians.

Interventions on gas systems, boilers, and complex electromechanical systems are extremely delicate: due to their inherent danger, they must only be performed by qualified personnel authorized by law.

Acting with caution means protecting your own safety and that of your loved ones, avoiding unnecessary risks.

Gas Leaks

Methane gas is a highly flammable substance that, in enclosed spaces, can lead to explosions or asphyxiation.

Unfortunately, news reports frequently highlight tragic accidents due to methane leaks or carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning caused by malfunctioning boilers. For this reason, it is vital never to attempt DIY repairs on such critical systems: home safety allows no room for improvisation.
