Qualified Gas Installers

Uncategorized
Consumers are strongly urged to ask the installer to present their card BEFORE allowing work to commence. Installers are required to issue a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE after completion and commission of a ‘fixed’ installation, and to have instructed the end-user on the safe operation of the installed appliance/s and gas system, before handing over the installation. If in any doubt over the credentials of an installer first refer to SAQCCGAS http://saqccgas.co.za/gas-practioners/registration-categories-per-assoc/ where you will have access to a list of all authorised installers.
