When it comes to heating and hot water in your home, safety should always come first. Whether you are booking a service, repair, or arranging a new boiler installation, using a Gas Safe registered engineer is not just best practice, it is a legal requirement. A Gas Safe engineer has the training and qualifications to ensure your system is fitted and maintained to the highest safety standards.
What does Gas Safe mean?
Gas Safe is the official register for engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas appliances in the UK. Replacing the old CORGI scheme, the Gas Safe Register ensures that all listed engineers are fully trained, competent, and regularly assessed. You can check an engineer’s credentials on the Gas Safe website or by asking to see their ID card.
Choosing an unregistered tradesperson may appear cheaper at first, but it comes with significant risks. Incorrectly installed gas appliances can lead to leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and even explosions.
Why you should always choose a Gas Safe boiler engineer
If you’re planning a new heating system, only a Gas Safe boiler engineer can legally carry out the work. This protects you as a homeowner and ensures the installation meets all safety standards. Professional installation also helps your system run more efficiently, keeping energy bills lower.
At AGW Gas, all our engineers are Gas Safe registered, giving you complete peace of mind. Whether you’re arranging routine servicing, urgent repairs, or a full heating upgrade, we’ll make sure everything is completed safely and to a high standard.
