What to check when hiring gas engineers in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
- Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work.
- Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
How to judge a gas engineer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Gas installation and appliance work must be done by an authorised gas practitioner registered with SAQCC Gas (South African Qualification and Certification Committee for Gas, saqccgas.co.za): ask to see their registration card.
- After gas work the registered practitioner must issue a gas Certificate of Conformity (CoC); it's legally required and often needed for a property transfer or insurance claim: confirm you'll receive it.
- Confirm the work is within their registration category, and that the business is registered with CIPC and carries public liability insurance.
- Get an itemised written quote before work begins.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Not registered with SAQCC Gas, or can't show a registration card: unregistered gas work is illegal and a fire and explosion risk.
- Won't issue a gas Certificate of Conformity for the installation.
- Cash-only with no tax invoice, or a large deposit up front.
- Treats gas as ordinary plumbing without SAQCC Gas registration.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you registered with SAQCC Gas, and can I see your card?
- Will you issue a gas Certificate of Conformity for this work?
- Does your registration category cover this appliance or installation?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy gas engineer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A gas engineer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend gas engineers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Gas engineers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a gas engineer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the gas engineer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
