Pat Horan Motors Ltd: RGI registered gas installer in Tipperary
Pat Horan Motors Ltd is listed on the Gas Networks Ireland register of Registered Gas Installers (RGI) in Tipperary, based at Roscrea, Tipperary. 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.
Pat Horan Motors Ltd is certified for both Natural Gas and LPG work in Tipperary, covering a wider range of properties than natural-gas-only installers. The registration number R4106 can be independently verified on the public Gas Networks Ireland register at rgi.ie at any time.
Tipperary is one of Ireland's largest inland counties and covers a wide variety of property types, from urban centres in Clonmel and Nenagh to extensive agricultural land where oil and LPG heating is the norm. Gas network coverage is concentrated around Clonmel, Nenagh and Thurles, while the rest of the county relies on alternative fuels. Installers in Tipperary who hold LPG certification can serve a much broader market across the rural county.
Gas services in Tipperary
Clonmel, Nenagh and Thurles have natural gas connections through Gas Networks Ireland, while the majority of rural Tipperary uses LPG or oil for domestic and agricultural heating.
As an RGI registered installer, Pat Horan Motors Ltd is legally authorised to carry out all notifiable gas work in Tipperary. 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
- LPG tank connection, regulation and appliance fitting
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.
LPG installation in Tipperary
Pat Horan Motors Ltd holds LPG certification in addition to Natural Gas registration, making them suitable for properties in Tipperary that are not connected to the national gas grid. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is the common alternative fuel in parts of Tipperary and throughout Munster where mains gas is unavailable — particularly in rural townlands, off-grid farms and older housing stock outside the main towns.
LPG work requires separate certification from standard natural gas registration. If you are on an LPG supply in Tipperary and need a boiler installation, appliance connection or tank fitting, confirm that the installer holds LPG certification as well as the standard RGI registration before booking.
Booking gas work in Tipperary: what to check
Before any gas work begins in Tipperary, 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 Tipperary typically costs €2,200–€3,200 for a like-for-like combi replacement. Emergency call-outs in Munster 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.
