Kilkenny city and county has a compact gas installer market centred primarily around Kilkenny city, where the natural gas network provides good coverage. The wider county is predominantly rural with oil and LPG heating common across smaller towns and farming areas. Kilkenny city's historic building stock — including period terraces and older commercial premises — provides consistent demand for boiler replacement and gas appliance work.
Gas services in Kilkenny
Kilkenny city has solid natural gas network coverage, while the rural county including towns like Callan, Thomastown and Castlecomer relies mainly on oil and LPG.
As an RGI registered installer, Andy Smith is legally authorised to carry out all notifiable gas work in Kilkenny. 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

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 Kilkenny: what to check
Before any gas work begins in Kilkenny, 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 Kilkenny 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.
