Why Use A Gas Safe Registered Engineer?

A gas safe registered engineer is an important part of the gas installation process. They're responsible for everything from properly inspecting your boiler and central heating system to installing gas fires and cooking appliances.

The fact is, you can trust a Gas Safe registered engineer. They are the best qualified to complete your job because they have been trained in the relevant industry and have completed extensive training programmes. There are also strict legal requirements that all gas engineers must adhere to when carrying out their duties:

• Workmanship must be of high quality;
• All work must comply with current regulations;
• All gas installations should be properly maintained and serviced on a regular basis by a competent person;
• Only people who are qualified can carry out work on gas appliances.

Safety First

You should always hire an engineer that is registered with GasSafe, as they have been rigorously trained and tested to make sure they have the skills and knowledge required to ensure the safety of your home. Not only that, but they also need to renew their registration every five years. This means you know you’re getting someone who has been vetted by a third party and who has proven their worth in the industry.

Trust

When hiring an engineer for any job, it’s important that you trust them with your property — both its structure and its inhabitants — so you want someone with experience in what they do. If something goes wrong during installation or maintenance work, it could result in serious injury or even death if performed incorrectly by someone unqualified.

Going cheap can be a very expensive mistake!

A gas safe registered engineer is trained to work on gas installations. They are also qualified to issue an annual safety certificate, which means they have inspected the boiler and checked that it is safe for use.

The cost of a gas safe registered engineer varies depending on how much work needs doing.

A cheap engineer isn’t necessarily bad – they might just be inexperienced in working with gas appliances, so they might miss something important during their inspection which can lead to costly problems down the line; so while it may cost less initially, there will be additional costs later on when problems arise as a result of their mistake(s).

Quality Matters

Quality matters. It's as simple as that. As a building owner or landlord, you want your home or business to be safe and sound at all times. Using a gas safe registered engineer ensures the highest standards of quality workmanship, materials and guarantees are met by all tradesmen who enter your property.

A Long Term Investment

A good engineer will do their best to ensure the system is working for as long as possible. They will work hard to ensure that the system performs at its maximum capacity and is operating safely, and they will take time to make sure that everything is done to the highest standards.

A good engineer knows that quality workmanship means less chance of repairs and replacements. By ensuring your central heating system is in good condition, you are protecting yourself from costly bills later down the line when something does go wrong.

Guaranteed workmanship and parts

When you hire a gas safe registered engineer, the guarantee of their workmanship and parts is something that's assured. If there are any problems with your appliances or installation, they will come back and fix them at no cost to you. You shouldn't have to pay for any work done by a gas engineer if it has been done incorrectly in the first place; so ensuring that everything is up to standard before you make that decision is essential.

How to check that your engineer is Gas Safe registered

The easiest way of checking whether a gas engineer is Gas Safe registered is by looking at their ID card. If they are, their name will appear on the front cover of the card along with their photo and details of when they were last registered. The information will also be on a plastic window inside the card.

With so many gas safe registered engineers to choose from, it can be difficult to know who you should hire for your project or needs. The most important thing is to make sure that the person you choose has a valid gas safety certificate and that they have experience working on similar projects in the past. And don't make the mistake of assuming a bargain price will provide the same, thorough service that's needed to keep your boiler working efficiently for the longest time possible.
