Your gas supplier may be able to provide you with a free of charge gas safety check upon request. A free gas safety check may apply to home owners on means tested benefits who:
- Are of pensionable age, disabled or chronically sick and either live alone or with others who are all of pensionable age, disabled, chronically sick or under 18
- Are living with others where at least one is under 5 years old
- Have not had a gas safety check carried out at the premises in the last 12 months
- Do not occupy premises where a landlord is responsible for arranging a check under regulations made under the Health and Safety at Work Act
Please note that decisions around eligibility for free gas safety checks sit outside the remit of the Gas Safe Register and this advice is for general guidance only. Please contact your energy supplier for more information.
