If you’ve ever had a new boiler installed or serviced an existing heating system, you’ll have probably been advised to ensure that you hire a Gas Safe registered engineer.
But what exactly does this mean? In simple terms, it refers to accredited engineers who are featured on the so-called Gas Safe Register, which lists all fully-qualified engineers in the UK who comply with the requisite rules and regulations.
The register was introduced in 2009, and it enables home-owners to identify highly-trained and skilled engineers who can work safely in their home.
Why you need to hire a Gas Safe Registered engineer
1. Your Safety is Paramount
Regardless of your budget or what’s going on with your existing boiler unit, safety should always be your priority as a home-owner.
After all, boiler units and gas appliances can be extremely dangerous, even in instances where they develop relatively minor faults. Gas boilers have the potential to leak carbon monoxide, for example, whilst heating systems can also become highly pressurised and even explode in the worst-case scenario.
These risks can occur without warning and often require a highly-trained eye if they’re to be successfully diagnosed, which is where a Gas Safe registered engineer can be worth their weight in gold.
2. You Need to Guarantee a High Standard of Workmanship
If you look at the Gas Safe Register, you’ll see that all accredited engineers are required to carry out work to the highest possible standard at all times.
This is an important consideration, particularly when you’re dealing with expensive boilers that must be well-maintained if they’re to operate at the optimal level of efficiency.
Make no mistake; a Gas Safe registered engineer will never cut corners with their work, meaning that you can achieve genuine value for your money and enhance the longevity of your heating system.
3. You Can Achieve Satisfaction Every Time with a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
On a similar note, working with a Gas Safe registered engineer offers you a unique opportunity to achieve satisfaction when installing or servicing your boiler unit.
This not only applies to the standard of workmanship, but it also ensures that you receive a professional, courteous and proactive service that delivers genuine peace of mind.
Even in the unlikely event that things do go wrong when working with an accredited engineer, the Gas Safe Register has a transparent complaint’s process that puts the needs of customers ahead of everything else.
