What should I ask a gas engineer before hiring them?

Before hiring a gas engineer, ask about their **experience, qualifications, and insurance coverage**. Ask about the timeline for your project, the estimated costs, and the payment structure. It's also wise to request references from previous clients and ensure they are familiar with the specific gas work required.

Are gas engineers required to have insurance?

Gas engineers are not legally required to have insurance, but it is highly recommended. **Most professional gas engineers will have public liability insurance to cover any damage to property or injury caused during work**. Always **ask for proof of insurance** before hiring a gas engineer.

Do gas engineers offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, gas engineers **typically offer a guarantee on their work**. This can range from a few months to several years, depending on the scope of the project. It’s essential to check the terms of the guarantee, which **should cover any defects or issues arising from poor workmanship**.

How can I verify a gas engineer’s qualifications?

You can verify a gas engineer’s qualifications by checking their Gas Safe registration. **Only Gas Safe engineers are legally allowed to carry out gas work in the UK**. Ask for their registration number and verify it on the Gas Safe Register website.

How much deposit should I pay a gas engineer?

It’s common to **pay a deposit of around 10% to 20% of the total project cost upfront**. However, this **should be agreed upon in writing before any work begins**. Be cautious of gas engineers who ask for large upfront payments, and make sure you have a clear contract in place to protect both parties.

Central Heating- 22 Apr 2017
We met Dennis and told him we needed a new boiler and radiators to all the rooms in our house . Dennis is very pleasant and professional man and out of all the quotes we received there was the most competitive .Dennis was very patient with us as other building work we were having done by other company's was falling behind . Dennis and his team were very professional throughout the whole process and even arrange a gas line to my Range cooker at short notice . We now have a really nice and cosy warm house to Dennis and his son Mike . I would highly recommend AMD heating to anyone .

Gas Work- 7 Nov 2017
Kane came to service our old gas boiler and mend a faulty mixer tap shower. It soon became apparent that the boiler had many problems, and would cost too much to repair, so we asked Kane to quote for a new one. His quote was very competitive and because he was Gas Safe registered, we were sure it would be installed to all current specifications. He came a week later to install it. His work was excellent and he kept us informed throughout the day, as to what he was doing. He put down dust sheets in all the areas he was working and cleared everything away after he had finished. The difference the new boiler makes is amazing! The heating and water are a lot hotter. And the problem with the shower was because the boiler was faulty. Kane is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
