Gas-Elec: gas and electrical safety for homes in the United Kingdom

Gas-Elec is a British company specialising in gas and electrical safety services for residential properties. Founded in 1996, the company claims to have pioneered combined gas and electrical safety inspections in the UK in a single visit, with one engineer and one report. Its activity is aimed at homeowners, landlords and estate agents.

Inspection and certification services

The company carries out gas safety inspections that include boilers and gas appliances, as well as plumbing services. In the electrical field, it performs annual electrical appliance safety checks, electrical installation condition reports (EICRs), repairs, rewiring and installation. It also offers home buyer reports, which include a visual and functional check of the condition of gas and electrical appliances and installations, as well as plumbing and heating.

Other certification and assessment services include energy performance certificates (EPCs), valid for ten years, and legionella testing, which assesses the risk of all accessible cold and hot water facilities. These tests can be booked independently or at a discount when booked together with other inspections.
