Leitrim is Ireland's least populous county, with a small and dispersed population spread across a largely rural landscape. Natural gas network access is extremely limited in Leitrim, with most of the county relying on LPG, oil or solid fuel for heating. There is a relatively small pool of RGI registered gas installers in Leitrim, meaning homeowners may sometimes need to source an installer from a neighbouring county such as Sligo, Roscommon or Cavan.

Carrick-on-Shannon has the most concentrated gas installer activity in Leitrim. Most of the county is outside the natural gas grid and relies on LPG or oil heating.

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