How To Become Gas Safe

[Johnn]

I currently live in a house with oil heating and an electric cooker but we’ve saved up enough to buy a house of our own. Me and emma ( my girlfriend) have found 3 houses that look ideal. 2 of them have gas cookers with a gas boiler and the 3rd one has a gas cooker with the option to have an electric cooker as the wiring for an electric cooker is already there. This house also has a gas boiler. Even if we had an electric cooker we would still be heating the house using gas. What is the route we would have to go down to become gas safe, so we could move into a house with gas?

What is Gas Safe Register?

The point is so that you as a customer know that when you employ us, we are competent and legally able to work on gas within your property.

So what your saying is only the plumber needs to be gas safe to sevice it?

 

[Johnn]

Is it better to have the boiler seviced before we move in?

I'd always recommend to have any gas appliance checked and serviced before moving in. If you haven't already bought the house, get it checked over before you do, you don't want to find any nasty surprises after you buy it.

Ok we will do that tanks do we have to get the pipes checked

How many times do we need this

An engineer should test the gas for leaks anyway and all visible pipes will be visually checked. You should have all appliances serviced at least once a year.
