What qualifications should a gas boiler engineer have?
Gas boiler engineers must be registered with the Gas Safe Register. Professionals working with gas boilers also typically have a Level 3 NVQ or equivalent diploma in gas installation and maintenance.
Alongside the relevant qualifications and experience, a gas boiler engineer must also have public liability insurance.
This insurance offers protection for homeowners and boiler engineers if any damage is caused during the boiler service or repair work.
How often should I service my gas boiler?
Gas boilers should be serviced every 12 months. An annual service will make sure your boiler continues to perform at its best.
It takes approximately one hour for a gas engineer to service a boiler. Several checks and tests will be carried out during the service to make sure everything is working correctly and no repairs are needed.
All boilers, even new installations, need to be serviced annually. Failing to service a boiler every year can void your warranty and also lead to problems and damage being missed.
