CQP Gas appliance maintenance technician

The gas heating appliance maintenance technician carries out maintenance and repairs on domestic and collective heating installations, excluding any industrial installations. They also provide customers with energy advice. More commonly known as boilers, the purpose of these appliances is to heat water to a pre-set temperature using a gas burner, and to transmit the heated water to radiators (the radiator allows heat to be exchanged between two media: water and ambient air), and/or to produce domestic hot water (DHW). The appliance technologies are either condensing or atmospheric burner types. They can be connected to a chimney flue, a GAS-controlled mechanical ventilation system (VMC) or a suction cup. The technician works on gas-fired heating appliances with a maximum output of 70 kW, installed on the floor or wall. He does not work on appliances above this output, which are generally referred to as boiler rooms.
These maintenance operations are carried out, generally, as part of contractual commitments and customer satisfaction while guaranteeing the safety of appliances and people.

Skill block 1 - Carrying out preventive maintenance on a gas-fired heating appliance

Carrying out preventive maintenance on a gas-fired heating appliance involves, in particular as part of the maintenance contract, carrying out preventive maintenance on the appliance.

Skill block 2 - Performing corrective maintenance on a gas-fired heating appliance

Performing corrective maintenance on a gas-fired heating appliance involves repairing a boiler that is malfunctioning or has an anomaly, based on a call from a customer, the detection of a malfunction or anomaly following preventive maintenance, or an alert from a connected system. The maintenance technician's line manager or customer advisor contacts him to intervene within a defined timeframe based on an intervention schedule.

Skill block 3 - Commissioning a gas heating appliance

This activity involves commissioning a new gas heating appliance that has just been installed. This involves the appliance being fixed to the floor or wall, and connected to the energies by a heating plumber and ready for operation.

The professional's work is conditional on obtaining the electrical authorisations relating to the B2V or BR types of work, in compliance with the Health-Safety-Environment regulations and rules in force.

Sectors of activity and employment:

The gas heating appliance maintenance technician works for companies specialising in maintaining these appliances in private homes and/or local authorities.

He/she is attached to a team within a human-sized structure (20 technicians on average). These teams are integrated into branches generally made up of customer advisers, planners, storekeepers, team leaders and/or branch managers.

He works within the framework of maintenance contracts signed between the company and customers or following a one-off request from a customer. The technician works alone and independently and may be required to be on call. When the heating season arrives (generally seasonal), depending on the climatic conditions in a given location, the technician's activity is stepped up following the restarting of the gas heating appliances.
Depending on the intervention schedule, which defines the number and duration of interventions (several interventions per day depending on the nature and duration), the gas heating appliance maintenance technician is required to travel from one customer to another in a service car. In order to carry out their duties, gas heater maintenance technicians have access to technical and technological resources, such as: measuring and testing equipment, a toolbox, digital resources (tablet, telephone, etc.), personal protective equipment (cut-resistant gloves, safety shoes, face shield, FFP3 mask, electrical protection gloves, sprayer, etc.) and a vehicle.
