Gas Safety in Scotland: Why Choose a Gas Safe Engineer

Gas safety is critical for every home in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Alloa, and Fife. Using a Gas Safe engineer ensures your domestic gas appliances, like boilers and gas fires, are installed, repaired, or serviced safely. At Garden Energy, we’re proud to be Gas Safe registered, providing expert boiler services and gas safety certificates across Scotland. Here’s why choosing a Gas Safe engineer is vital and how to stay safe.

What Is the Gas Safe Register?

The Gas Safe Register, launched in 2009 to replace CORGI, is the official list of qualified gas engineers legally authorized to work on domestic gas systems. Whether you need a boiler service in Glasgow or a gas safety check in Fife, only Gas Safe registered engineers can ensure compliance and safety. Illegal gas fitters pose serious risks, including gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning—a silent, deadly gas you can’t see, smell, or taste.

Why Choose a Gas Safe Engineer in Scotland?

Hiring a Gas Safe engineer from Garden Energy protects your home from dangers caused by poorly fitted or maintained appliances. Our engineers carry a Gas Safe ID card, verifying their qualifications for specific tasks like boiler installation or annual checks. Always check the ID card before work begins to confirm expertise for your Alloa, Edinburgh, or Glasgow property.

Risks of Illegal Gas Work

• Gas Leaks: Can lead to fires or explosions.

• Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness, collapse, or unconsciousness.

• Faulty Appliances: Look for warning signs like lazy yellow flames or black stains around gas fires or boilers.
