Hiya, He should have checked and cleaned or replaced the Jets, ensured the photo cell was clean, checked the flue was un-obstructed and then tested the calarific value to ensure the boiler was working as it should, these things should be recorded on his report, did he give you a service report sheet of some kind? If he was VERY QUICK he could have done in the 15mins, but to be fair this should have taken twice as long.
The safety and satisfaction of our customers is of extreme importance to us.
Bord Gáis, Appliance Servicing.
Bord Gáis Networks maintains a Register of Gas Installers, consisting of gas installers and service agents, who have completed the required gas installation safety training and provide the necessary insurance cover to carry out gas installations to the required industry standard.
All Registered Gas Installers are also required to maintain a track record of safety and installations carried out by Registered Gas Installers are continually sampled in order to ensure that the Irish Installation Safety Standards are complied with.
In the interest of your safety, Bord Gáis Networks advises that gas installations should only be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer, in conformance with the relevant Irish Installation Standards (I.S. 813 or I.S. 820)

Shouldn't you be asking the question about the legality of other installers to the politicians, rather than BG (who can only operate within the legislative framework provided by the Dail)?Brendan,
In this country, If you have a toolbox and overalls, you can advertise as a gas installer. If Bord Gais were serious about customer safety and satisfaction, surely they would make it illegal to work on gas without first proving competent to do so.

Unless the relevant legislation identifies 'lobbying' as one of their statutory roles, then lobbying would be ultra vires activity for BG.if they were tp lobby for tighter controls, it would happen.
