Gas Safe registered engineers have the necessary skills, training, and experience to safely and correctly install gas appliances. They are qualified to work with gas and understand the regulations and safety requirements associated with gas installations.
If you smell gas after an appliance installation, immediately turn off the gas supply, open doors, and windows, and evacuate your home. Do not turn on any electrical switches or light any matches or cigarettes. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer or emergency gas service to investigate and fix the issue.
No, gas appliance installation should only be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Attempting to install a gas appliance yourself can be dangerous and may lead to gas leaks, fires, or explosions. Always hire a qualified engineer for gas appliance installation.
Gas appliances should be serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure they function correctly and safely. Regular servicing can help prevent breakdowns and prolong the life of your appliance. Some manufacturers may also require annual servicing to keep warranties valid.
