Gas Safe Registered Savings
These days we are all looking to save money, not just on our everyday shopping but also on our house maintenance repairs and upgrades. So would you use a Gas Safe Registered company or engineer to let’s say Service you boiler, or would you use an unregistered cowboy?
The Gas Safe Registered company or engineer has to pass many exams every five years, also regular inspections of gas work from Gas Safe just to be able to work, an unregistered cowboy has nothing to pass but time.
With the Gas Safe Registered company, you have the backing of gas safe and the HSE, Health and Safety Executive behind you should something go wrong. Which sometimes it does, after all we are only human, but it’s very rare.
Everybody know someone a friend or family member who is an odd jobber who can do anything for a smaller fee than a professional, but would you let them loose on your gas appliances?
As A Gas Safe Registered Engineer myself, I am totally surprised at how many people have no knowledge of how dangerous gas can be and what the outcome could be should something happen.
In the past I have been called out to carry out a service on a clients boiler only to find it in bits on the floor on arrival, but the strange thing is when the call came in, we were asked, are we Gas Safe Registered.
On speaking to the client to find out what had been going on with the boiler, I was told, the boiler stopped working and a friend said he could fix it. Once his friend had taken it a part he then realized he did not know what he was doing, so advised him to a call in a Gas Safe Registered Company or Engineer. He then went on to tell me that his friend also charge him £50.00 for his time. Is that saving money? I don’t think so, because in the end the boiler had to be replaced, because when the guy dismantled it he broke so many parts that it worked out just as cheap to install a new model.
Gas Safe Registered companies or engineers have public liability insurance normally to the value of £2,000000, so should something go wrong you are covered. In reality it’s cheaper to use a Gas safe Registered Company or engineer than to use a cowboy who the chances are has no insurance and should something happen you would never be able to get hold of him.
The Gas Safe Register is there to protect you and your family, the cowboy is there to take your money and in the worst scenario maybe your life.
Always use A. Gas Safe Registered Company or Engineer, it’s your responsibility as a Gas user to make sure that any work carried out on the gas appliances or pipe work is done only by a Gas Safe Registered Company.
