Course description
How To Become A Gas Engineer - Intermediate
Gas engineers are in demand. Currently, 85% of UK homes are heated by gas. These boilers will need servicing and maintenance for many years to come. Gas installers are also perfectly placed for the future. Their skills are pre-requisites for training in renewable technologies such as heat pumps.
What do gas engineers do?
Gas engineers install, service, maintain and repair gas appliances in domestic and/or commercial properties.
As we move away from fossil fuels, gas engineers will continue to maintain exisiting boilers. 2019 was a record year for gas boiler installations, with 1.7million fitted. It is likely that these new boilers will last for around 20 years. Currently, there are around 26 million gas boilers in the UK.
Ultimately, gas is just the fuel; a gas installer should view themselves as a ‘heating engineer’. As a trained gas engineer you will have the right qualifications and experience to upskill into increasingly popular renewable technologies, like heat pumps. These upskill courses take around five days, depending on experience.
A gas engineer who can also install heat pumps and other renewables, such as solar thermal, will be in demand now and in the future.
Typical duties may include:
- Installing or repairing appliances to deliver gas
- Repairing gas appliances and heating systems.
- Maintaining or replacing faulty systems.
- Cutting, bending & joining pipes and fittings.
- Providing cost estimates to customers, and talking through additional cover, insurance options & energy saving options.
- Carrying out estimates, checking for gas leaks & ensuring all repairs/installations are up to code.
- Ensuring all safety requirements are met accordingly.
