If you’re in the market for a new gas boiler, you may have come across the term “boiler installation certificate.” But what exactly is a boiler installation certificate and why is it important?

A boiler installation certificate, also known as a gas safety certificate or gas safety record, is a document that certifies that a gas boiler has been installed and maintained in accordance with all relevant gas safety regulations. It is issued by a gas safe registered engineer, who is qualified and trained to work on gas appliances.

In the UK, it is a legal requirement for all landlords to have a valid gas safety certificate for any rented property that has a gas boiler. This is to ensure the safety of the tenants and to prevent carbon monoxide leaks, which can be deadly. It is also recommended for homeowners to obtain a gas safety certificate for their own peace of mind and to ensure that their gas boiler is operating safely.

A gas safety certificate includes a number of checks, including checking the gas pressure and tightness of connections, checking the flue to make sure it is properly ventilated, and checking the appliance itself for any defects or safety issues. If any issues are found, they must be corrected before the certificate can be issued.
