If you’re in need of gas and heating related services, you’ve come to the right place. Heating engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and functionality of your central heating systems and gas appliances.  

Common services provided by gas heating engineers

A local heating engineer can help you with a range of tasks:

  • Fitting boilers and central heating systems
  • Installing or repairing radiators
  • Providing an annual gas service
  • Testing controls and safety devices to make sure they’re working properly
  • Finding and repairing gas leaks
  • Replacing or repairing faulty or old parts
  • Giving advice about gas safety and energy efficiency

For some of these jobs, your engineer will first need to come round to look at your current central heating and gas systems, so they can assess what you’ll need and give you a detailed quote.

Factors to consider when hiring a heating engineer

Avoid unnecessary stress and expensive repairs down the line by hiring a qualified heating engineer to help you with your next home improvement. Look out for engineers that:

  1. Are a skilled company with a strong history of successful projects
  2. Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
  4. Are offering the gas or heating service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
  5. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local heating engineer companies

A local gas or heating engineer is more likely to respond quickly – especially during an emergency – as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

How much does it cost to hire a gas engineer?

The cost of hiring a gas work engineer can vary based on several factors, including the scope of the project and where you live in the UK (labour costs rise in London and the South East).

The type of gas/heating appliances you have can also impact on the cost to repair and replace them.

On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £40 and £120 an hour to hire a heating engineer.

Heating engineers are regularly hired to carry out boiler servicing and installation jobs. On average, the cost of a new electric or gas boiler installation is between £2,500 and £3,500.

How much you spend will depend on the type of boiler you’re getting (system, traditional or combi) and whether you’re getting an electric, oil or gas boiler. For more information on boiler installation and boiler repair costs, read our 2023 boiler cost guide.

What qualifications does your heating engineer need?

Your heating engineer or plumbing service offering gas work needs to be registered with Gas Safe, which ensures they’re trained and legally qualified to carry out gas work, including gas safety checks.

You should ask to see their Gas Safe ID card to check they are registered. Gas engineers are issued a new ID annually, each with a unique 7-digit licence number.

Planning permission for heating engineer jobs

Planning permission isn’t normally required for internal boiler and heating system installations. However, if you live in a listed building, we recommend you check with your local planning authority first.

If the work is internal then planning permission isn’t normally required to install boilers or heating systems. However, if you live in a listed building you should check with your local planning authority.

You may require permission to get an outdoor flue installed. Read our planning permission guide or visit the Planning Portal website for more details.

Questions to ask when hiring a gas heating engineer

Whether you need a new bathroom radiator or a central heating safety check, it’s a good idea to ask your heating and gas service company these questions before you hire:

  1. Are you registered with a recognised gas safety organisation?
  2. Do you have relevant experience in handling similar projects?
  3. What are your rates and payment terms?
  4. Do you provide a warranty or guarantee for your work?
