Registered Gas Engineer Issue 187 summary Horsham and Adur Districts October 30, 2025 Keep Your Horsham & Adur Home Safe: Key Takeaways from the Latest Registered Gas Engineer Magazine. At Prime Boiler Care, our priority is the safety and well-being of our customers across the Horsham and Adur Districts. As your local Gas Safe registered experts, we stay current with the latest official guidance through the Registered Gas Engineer magazine. The most recent issue (Issue 187, September/October 2025) provided essential reminders and updates that are crucial for every homeowner and landlord in our area. Here’s a summary of what you need to know to keep your home safe this winter. 1. Gas Safety Week 2025: The Critical Warning on DIY Gas Work. The annual Gas Safety Week (GSW) campaign reinforced a non-negotiable message for our community: Gas work is never a DIY job. * The Danger is Real: Unqualified work—even minor tweaks or maintenance attempts—can lead to gas leaks, fires, explosions, and potentially fatal Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is a silent killer; you cannot smell, see, or taste it. * The Only Safe Choice: The Gas Safe Register stressed that you must only use a Gas Safe registered engineer for any work on your gas boiler, cooker, or fire. Prime Boiler Care engineers carry their official Gas Safe ID card, and we encourage all our customers in Horsham and Adur to check it before we start work. * For Landlords in the Districts: If you own a rental property in the area, remember your legal duty to arrange an annual gas safety check (CP12) for every gas appliance. We specialise in hassle-free, fully compliant landlord services to ensure your tenants' safety. 2. Modernising Safety: What Gas Safe Register Updates Mean for You. The official governing body is modernising to make our industry more efficient, which directly translates to better service for you. * Faster Verification with Digital Cards: The introduction of new digital licence cards means we can instantly verify our current registration and qualifications on site. This provides you with greater peace of mind and confidence in the professional working in your home. * Increased Efficiency for Us: Updates like self-booking for inspections and simplified online payments are streamlining our administrative processes. For Prime Boiler Care, this means less time on paperwork and more time focused on delivering exceptional service in your home. 3. Trust the Trade: Why Your Local Engineer is "Future-Proof" In a world increasingly dominated by AI and automation, the magazine highlighted the enduring value of skilled tradespeople. * Unbeatable Human Expertise: Gas engineering requires diagnostic skill, technical knowledge, and hands-on precision that complex mechanical systems like your boiler demand. Computers cannot replicate this expertise. * Local, Trusted Service: When you hire Prime Boiler Care, you're not just getting a qualified expert; you're getting a trusted local professional dedicated to the safety and comfort of your family. This focus on local relationships and genuine care is a core value that defines our service across the Horsham and Adur areas. Ready to Schedule Your Annual Safety Check?
