Carlow is a small county in the south east with Carlow town as the main population centre and regional hub for the area. The natural gas network covers Carlow town and parts of the surrounding area, while rural Carlow relies on oil and LPG. Demand for gas installer work in the county is concentrated in Carlow town and nearby Muinebheag, with smaller volumes of work across rural parishes. The county's proximity to Kilkenny and Wexford means installers sometimes serve a cross-county area.

Carlow town and parts of Muinebheag have natural gas network access. Rural Carlow and smaller towns rely predominantly on oil or LPG for heating.
As an RGI registered installer, Edward Lyons is legally authorised to carry out all notifiable gas work in Carlow. The following jobs require an RGI registered installer under Irish law:
- Gas boiler installation and like-for-like boiler replacement

Booking gas work in Carlow: what to check
Before any gas work begins in Carlow, there are three things every homeowner should do regardless of which installer they use:
- Verify the RGI registration number on rgi.ie. This takes under two minutes and confirms the installer is currently registered, not just previously registered.
- Get a written quote that breaks down labour, parts and VAT separately. Gas boiler installation in Carlow typically costs €2,200–€3,200 for a like-for-like combi replacement. Emergency call-outs in Leinster range from €80–€180 depending on time of day.
- Request a Certificate of Completion when the job is finished. An RGI installer is legally required to provide this for all notifiable gas work. Do not accept that this will be provided later.
Gas work carried out by an unregistered person is illegal in Ireland. Unregistered gas work also voids most home insurance policies and cannot be certified, which creates serious problems when selling the property. Always use an RGI registered installer.
