Gas Safe Engineers Explained – Why It Matters Who Services Your Boiler
30 September 2025
What does “Gas Safe” mean?
You’ve probably heard the term “Gas Safe engineer”, but what does it actually mean? In the UK, anyone who works on gas appliances legally must be Gas Safe registered. This replaced the old CORGI system back in 2009.
Why is Gas Safe registration so important?
Working with gas is dangerous if it’s done incorrectly. An unqualified engineer could put your home at risk of:
- Gas leaks
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Fires or explosions
Gas Safe engineers are fully trained, tested, and qualified to work safely on your boiler, heating, and gas appliances.
How do you check if someone is Gas Safe?
Every Gas Safe engineer carries an ID card with a licence number and the types of work they’re qualified for. You can also check online at the Gas Safe Register website.
