Plumb Center and Parts Center are offering six installers the chance to win a thermal imaging camera worth more than £1,800.
As part of a sales promotion run by the trading brands which are part of Wolseley UK, installers can sign up to the free prize draw to win when buying Testo flue gas analysers until February 2012.

Within the UK there are around 120,000 registered gas service engineers but only 45,000 currently use analysers. New law changes which come into effect in April next year, will require gas installers to hold Combustion Performance Analysis of Domestic Appliances (CPA1) certificates to show they can correctly use flue gas analysers. Installers without the correct training will have their licence suspended and won't be able to fit gas fires or boilers.

The need for change was highlighted in a recent report from the Gas Safety Trust which urged for an improvement in competency as a vital step towards preventing needless deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Many installers are recognising for the first time that carrying an analyser and knowing how to use it will be essential to their future.

Testo 327 analysers are designed for domestic applications, with three-year instrument and sensor warranty, the Testo 327 Flue Gas Analyser is multi-fuel and multi-purpose for measuring differential temperature, differential pressure and displaying CO, CO₂, O₂, ratio and efficiency. The kits available from Plumb Center and Parts Center include all the required components used in the CPA1 assessment, plus an award winning training DVD.

All installers wanting to be in with a chance of winning a Testo 875 Thermal Imaging Camera need to do is register at: www.partscenter.co.uk/testoprizedraw

The Testo 875 Thermal Imaging Camera is highly suited to the HVAC sector, detecting the smallest temperature differences to trace heating/hot water pipe work for leaks and blockages, checking underfloor heating as well as diagnosis of radiator condition and performance.

'Installers need to become CPA1 trained so it is important to have a really good quality, long lasting flue gas analyser in their kit. It is therefore the perfect time to launch this promotion,' said Testo's marketing and communications manager, Alison Jenkins. 'The thermal imaging camera is a really exciting piece of equipment that is the perfect aid to installers in everyday tasks so we are delighted to be able to offer six as prizes. Most installers can't wait to get their hands on one.'
