We provide extensive assistance and technical support to the construction industry in terms of the best methods of installing natural gas in homes and businesses.

Registered gas installers

Through the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland, they ensure that natural gas customers can choose a registered professional to carry out the installation of natural gas in homes and businesses to the required industry standard.

Safety Campaigns 

Bord Gáis Networks carries out regular safety campaigns each year to highlight the key issues concerning natural gas and safety to both natural gas customers and the general public.
