The importance of using an accredited installer for fitting your gas heating appliance
Your heating appliance must be fitted by a qualified gas installer which can be arranged by us.
We have four Gas Safe engineers we can recommend for your installation who have many years experience installing our range of gas products.
To ensure a safe installation, your gas heating appliance must be fitted by a qualified gas installer (Gas Safe registered in the United Kingdom or Bord Gais registered in the Republic of Ireland) who should also verify the proposed site conditions are fully suitable for the product selected. Failure to comply with the installation instructions or Building regulations could invalidate your home insurance.
You can view a list of qualified installers by visiting the the Gas Safe or Bord Gais website.

Importance of using accredited installer to install your heating appliance
We highly recommend that you use a HETAS approved fitter to install your heating appliance to ensure a safe installation. Using accredited HETAS installer means that your installation complies with the requirements of the Building Regulations and it is also recorded on the HETAS database.

Importance of a site survey
When installing a new heating appliance, or updating a old one, a site survey will help you to find the best type of appliance, flue system and location of heating appliance for your home, as well as providing you with an accurate quotation of cost.
During a typical site survey, our engineer will take into consideration the appropriate heat output for the room, the relevant location within the house and the most suitable flue system for your appliance.
If you are currently replacing an existing appliance, the site survey will recognise the requirements of the Building Regulations or recommend any changes that have to be made to comply. If the installation is new, the site survey will identify the requirements for the hearth, flue system, ventilation and clearances to any combustible materials to maintain safe use.
Another important reason to consider a site survey is that it will recognise the most suitable appliance for the location of your home. Some areas of the country are designated as Smoke Control Areas. If you plan to invest in a solid fuel appliance, you may need to investigate whether you live in this area. Our engineer will be able to identify this during the site survey and will ensure that they provide you with the appropriate appliance for these areas.
Further to above, the site survey will allow us to provide you with a comprehensive quotation of the cost of supplying and fitting your appliance, consequently avoiding any unexpected expense.
