What is the Gas Safe Register?
bachmanity • 20 November 2019
Gas Safe Register is the official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work safely and legally on gas appliances. By law, all gas engineers must be on the Gas Safe Register. It replaced CORGI.
Why use Gas Safe Engineers?
Badly fitted and poorly serviced appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous gas. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.
Protect yourself from the dangers by following these simple steps:
- Trust the Triangle – only use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit, fix or service your appliances
- Get your gas appliances regularly serviced and safety checked every year
- All Gas Safe registered engineers carry a Gas Safe Register ID card. Before any gas work is carried out always check the card and make sure the engineer is qualified for the work you need doing
- Fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm
- Know the six main signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, nausea,breathlessness, collapse and loss of consciousness.
- Check for warning signs such as lazy yellow flames or black marks and stains around the appliance.This could be an indication that your appliance is not working correctly and you should get it checked.
- If you suspect anyone is carrying out gas work illegally, report them to Gas Safe Register.

Action Renewables supports the Carbon Reduction Grant, in recognition of the CO2 savings which can be achieved by switching from oil or solid fuels to natural gas. This fuel transition results in an estimated 50% CO2 reduction (based on a 28% differential in carbon emissions between burning oil and natural gas and assuming up to a further 30% saving through heating system efficiencies). This grant is an opportunity for householders to switch to gas and reduce their emissions. In addition, Action Renewables is actively involved in facilitating a pathway for renewable gas injection to decarbonise the natural gas network. The Carbon Reduction Grant is income based (household income less than £55k) and will provide a grant of £400* towards the cost of connection and installation of gas to your household. For further information please call 02890343665 or fill in a contact form and we can call you back.
Have you ever wondered about the future of heating your home as we move towards our governments carbon zero goal? You might not have realised that your current boiler can already manage up to 20% hydrogen blend which is a carbon free gas. So, once we begin to blend hydrogen into the gas network, it’s good to!
