But what does it really mean to be Gas Safe registered, and why should it matter to you?
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know, so you can make informed decisions when hiring a gas engineer near you.
What is a Gas Safe Registered Engineer?
A Gas Safe registered engineer is legally certified to carry out gas work safely and competently in the UK. The Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI in 2009 and is the official list of businesses and engineers that are qualified to work on gas boilers, cookers, fires, and other gas appliances.To become registered, engineers must pass assessments proving they meet the required standards for gas safety.
Why It’s So Important to Hire a Gas Safe Engineer
When dealing with gas appliances, even the smallest mistake can have serious consequences, from gas leaks to carbon monoxide poisoning. That’s why it’s illegal for anyone to carry out gas work unless they are on the Gas Safe Register.By hiring a registered engineer, you get:
- Safe and compliant installations
- Peace of mind your family or tenants are protected
- Work that meets the latest regulations
- Proper servicing and repair to prolong appliance life
