Why Hire a Gas Safe Registered Engineer October 21, 2019 Choosing a heating engineer or plumber can feel a little overwhelming. There’s lots of choice, which is great, but how do you decide who to go for? Factors such as their manner on the phone, the price quoted and the impression they make from their website (or lack of!) all matter. Some may have customer reviews you can check, which can offer you some true insight to the service they provide. The most important thing to check, however, is that they’re Gas Safe registered. Without this, a plumber has NOT been accredited by Gas Safe, and is unlikely to have the qualifications and experience needed to carry out work on your gas boiler safely. Why do I need a Gas Safe registered engineer? Quite rightly, the plumbing and heating industry is regulated. This is to help prevent unqualified people posing as heating experts, and bringing damage and danger to your home. Call them what you want: cowboys, charlatans etc. - sadly not everyone can be trusted to do what they say they will do. A Gas Safe registration is one of the main ways to counteract dodgy behaviour, as all trusted engineers will carry a Gas Safe registration which we can show you before starting work in your home.
