What moves the price
- Number of gas appliances being inspected — each boiler, cooker or fire is tested on its own, so more appliances means a longer visit.
- Complexity of the installation — long flue runs or gas appliances in awkward spots take longer to reach, test and inspect.
- Their condition — a faulty gas appliance found on the day adds time that was not in the quote.
- Any necessary repairs — fixing a fault found during the gas safety check is charged on top of the inspection.
Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling prices in Ireland are up 23% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical gas safety certificate would have cost about €95 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- Booking the gas safety check together with the annual boiler service often costs less than arranging gas appliance servicing on a separate visit.
- Landlords with several rental properties can ask for a lower rate to have each gas safety certificate done on the same day.
- A certificate-only check costs less than one bundled with a full service; say which you need if your appliances were serviced recently.
- Asking for small gas repairs on the same visit as the gas safety check saves paying a separate call-out to fix them later.
- Weekday daytime appointments for a gas safety certificate are usually easier to fit in and avoid any out-of-hours charge.
Before you book
- Access to all gas appliances and installations in your home.
- Information about the age and type of gas appliances.
- Clear access routes for the engineer to move around your property.
- Tell the engineer how many gas appliances you have and where each one is, so the inspection can be planned and quoted accurately.
- You can ask the engineer to show their registration card before the gas safety check begins.
- Agree before the day whether repairs found during the inspection will be done then or quoted separately.
