Gas heating? For the best service always use a local RGI installer

Since 2006, the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has worked with the gas industry to put in place a new regulatory system to supervise the work of gas installers with respect to safety. This statutory-based regulatory system has replaced the previous voluntary register operated by Bord Gais.

There are almost 3,000 RGI qualified installers in Ireland and most are sole traders with many here in Co Wexford who are qualified and just a phone call away to meet your home heating needs.
