If you’re considering installing a new gas boiler in your home, you may have heard of a boiler installation certificate. But what is it, and why is it important?
A boiler installation certificate, also known as a commissioning certificate or a gas safety certificate, is a legal requirement in the UK for any gas boiler installation. It is a document that confirms that your new gas boiler has been installed safely and meets all necessary standards and regulations
Having a boiler installation certificate is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, it ensures that your new gas boiler has been installed correctly and is safe to use. This is particularly important because gas boilers can be dangerous if they are not installed correctly, as they can produce carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas that can be lethal if inhaled.
Secondly, a boiler installation certificate is also important for insurance purposes. If you don’t have a certificate for your gas boiler installation, your insurance company may not cover you if something goes wrong. This means that if your boiler breaks down or causes damage to your property, you could be left to pay for the repairs yourself.
So, how do you get a boiler installation certificate? The process is actually quite simple. All you need to do is contact a qualified and registered gas engineer, like the team at Complete Gas Heating Services, to carry out the installation. Once the installation is complete, the engineer will issue you with a boiler installation certificate, which you should keep safe as you may need to provide it to your insurance company or other authorities in the future.
