Longford is a small midlands county with a largely rural population centred on Longford town. Natural gas network coverage in Longford is limited to the county town and a small number of other locations, with the majority of the county relying on oil and LPG for heating. The pool of RGI registered gas installers in Longford is relatively small, and homeowners in more remote parts of the county may need to source an installer from a neighbouring area.
Gas services in Longford
Longford town has access to the natural gas network. The wider county, including Granard, Edgeworthstown, Lanesborough and rural areas, relies predominantly on oil or LPG.
As an RGI registered installer, Wilco Plumbing and Heating LTD is legally authorised to carry out all notifiable gas work in Longford. 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

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