Justin Sheehan is listed on the Gas Networks Ireland register of Registered Gas Installers (RGI) in Galway, based at Kilcolgan, Galway. RGI registration is the legal certification required to carry out gas work in Ireland under the Gas (Interim) (Regulation) Act 2002. All gas installations, boiler replacements, appliance connections and gas pipe work must be carried out by an RGI registered installer.
Justin Sheehan is RGI registered for Natural Gas work in Galway, covering all notifiable gas installations and appliance connections. The registration number R5165 can be independently verified on the public Gas Networks Ireland register at rgi.ie at any time.
Galway county covers a wide range of property types and fuel sources, from the dense urban environment of Galway city to highly rural areas of Connemara where mains gas is not available. The natural gas network covers Galway city and some surrounding towns, but much of Connacht remains outside the gas grid. Installers in Galway city typically focus on natural gas work, while those operating in Connemara, South Galway and the islands often need LPG certification for rural properties.
Gas services in Galway
Galway city and nearby areas including Oranmore and Athenry are on the Gas Networks Ireland supply, while rural Connemara and much of the county relies on LPG or oil heating where mains gas is unavailable.
As an RGI registered installer, Justin Sheehan is legally authorised to carry out all notifiable gas work in Galway. The following jobs require an RGI registered installer under Irish law:
- Gas boiler installation and like-for-like boiler replacement
- Gas boiler servicing and annual maintenance
- Gas cooker, hob and range connection and disconnection
- Gas fire and gas heater installation
- Gas pipework extension, modification and pressure testing
- New gas connections to Gas Networks Ireland supply
- Gas appliance repair and fault diagnosis
After completion of any notifiable gas work, an RGI registered installer is required to issue a Certificate of Completion. This document is essential for insurance purposes, property sales and mortgage drawdowns. Always request this certificate when gas work is finished.
Booking gas work in Galway: what to check
Before any gas work begins in Galway, 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 Galway typically costs €2,200–€3,200 for a like-for-like combi replacement. Emergency call-outs in Connacht 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.
