Installation of domestic LPG appliances, or service and maintenance work on any part of the gas system, must only be done by a licensed gas fitter. The gasfitter is required to issue a Certificate of Compliance for new installations or alterations/extensions to existing gas services.

This is also the case for installation work on caravans, boats and fixed gas BBQs. If you feel that completed work is unsafe or unsatisfactory:

• contact the gas fitter who installed or serviced the equipment and ask for the problem to be fixed;
• if this is not successful, contact the equipment supplier or your gas supplier;
• if none of these avenues are successful, contact the Office of the Technical Regulator.

Mains power electrical work required when installing an LPG appliance must be done by a licensed electrical contractor.

Gas instantaneous (or continuous flow) water heaters must not be installed in bathrooms or rooms with limited ventilation, unless they are of a "room sealed" type.

Never install or use unflued LPG space heating and water heating appliances in bedrooms, bathrooms or sleeping annexes. They are also prohibited in caravans and marine craft.
