The Let-By Test checks the emergency control valve (ECV) located at your gas meter. This valve must shut off completely when turned off.
We test to confirm that no gas passes through when the valve is closed. If the valve fails, your gas supplier is responsible for replacement at no cost to you.
This safety check ensures:
- Proper isolation in emergencies
- Compliance with gas regulations
- Safe gas supply control
For Isle of Wight properties, this provides added reassurance that your gas supply system is functioning correctly.
