What Is a Registered Gas Installer?

An RGI must possess, as a minimum standard, a GID (Gas Installer Domestic) qualification or similar in gas safety. Additional requirements include:

  • Valid commercial insurance
  • Subscription fees to maintain registry status
  • RGII-compliant ID card displaying name, code, valid date, and photograph

Gas Safety and Boiler Compliance

The RGII identifies four key safety priorities:

  1. Verify your installer holds RGI status
  2. Service gas boilers annually for efficiency and cost control
  3. Install carbon monoxide alarms
  4. Follow Gas Networks Ireland safety protocols if you smell gas

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas produced by fossil fuel combustion. Boiler or appliance issues can potentially create dangerous leaks into homes.

Declaration of Conformance Certificates

RGIs must issue completion certificates after gas work. Three certificate types exist:

Cert 1 New meter installations
Cert 2 Boiler repairs, replacements, or installations
Cert 3 Other gas work (pipework, safety checks, appliance fitting, servicing)
