When we had gas, we just opened the window, none of this extra ventilation
and cooker hood stuff in them days, Besides the houses back then had
draughts everywhere, well enough to make sure there was no build up of
carbon monoxide.

My M-I-L and family own a property which has recently been let. The
letting is being handled by an agency and it's through them that the
Gas Safety and Electrical Safety checks have been done.

Recently the tenants decided to change Gas/Electricity supplier and,
as a result, a new smart meter has been installed. The installers of
the smart meter have declared the gas installation to be unsafe,
specifically they say the extract hood above the cooker doesn't have
enough clearance and there isn't enough ventilation.

OT of course but this does highlight my point about switching energy
suppliers (just to save money) and potentially unseen 'issues' that
cause unintended consequences (even if they are a positive safety
thing)?
