Gas&Electricity safety cerificates.

[shaz1967]

Hello there fellow members,
I was wondering how much it will cost to have a safety inspection carried out on my gas&electric appliances at my holiday home? I do not rent my home out but do have family stay there quite often & would like peace of mind regarding the safety aspect of all my appliances etc.

Hello Shaz1967
I am sure you will find some post's on the forum about owners who rent their property out&have to have gas&electricity safety inspections&im sure that they will know the best people&best prices for you. It is always good practice to have these inspections done at the recommended intervals&obviously have the safety certificates in place for any eventualities/insurance purposes.

For electricity you could use Paul Whitworth on ohmega@ohmega.net

I also have a contact for gas but can't lay my hand on it right now.

Gas inspection - contact Sergio Belchior on 916 894 268. He is an accredited gas inspector. Every 5 years for a dwelling.

Thanks for the info biffa I emailed Paul last night&he got back to me with a quote for the inspection which was €150 which i think is very reasonable. Does the gas man you recommended have an email address please biffa ?

As a matter of interest when i have the gas&electricity inspection done & i get the certificates how long are the valid for ?

[biffa]

5 years I believe. Rubber type gas tubing has a date on it.

Thanks biffa. So when i get the inspections done&i have the certificates if i don't decide to get the AL licence till next year as i'm getting the inspections done mainly for peace of mind that everything is safe etc will the certificates still be valid for the Al licence if & when i apply for it ?

Might be cheaper to do as I've done and go all electric, depends how you use the gas I suppose, all I needed to do was change the hob.
