What heating engineers do
Heating engineers install, service and repair the systems that keep your home warm — gas and oil boilers, radiators, controls and increasingly heat pumps. Gas work is legally restricted in Ireland: it must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI). With SEAI grants driving a wave of retrofits, many heating engineers now also fit heat pumps and upgrade controls for better efficiency.
