What does gas appliance repair involve?
Gas boiler repair plus hobs, fires, and water heaters — diagnosed and fixed by vetted, insured RGI-registered engineers, with same-day callouts where possible.
Gas appliance repair covers diagnosing and fixing faults on gas boilers, gas fires, gas hobs, and gas water heaters. Common boiler faults include pressure loss, ignition failure, no hot water, intermittent firing, error codes on the display, and noisy operation. By law, all gas repair work in Ireland must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer — an engineer on the register maintained by the Register of Gas Installers of Ireland (RGII). Working on a gas appliance yourself, or hiring someone unregistered, is illegal and dangerous.
Most gas appliance faults fall into a handful of categories: PCB (control board) failures, expansion vessel collapse, pump failure, ignition lead or electrode wear, divertor valve issues on combis, and heat exchanger blockages from system sludge. A skilled RGI will diagnose in 30–60 minutes and most repairs can be completed in the same visit if parts are van-stocked or available same-day. Stock-out delays are usually next-day for major brands (Vaillant, Worcester, Ideal, Viessmann). A good engineer will also tell you straight when a repair isn't worth it — on an older unit, the honest answer is sometimes a replacement rather than another part.

How much does gas appliance repair cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Repair pricing varies by fault and parts. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges, including diagnostic time and a single repair visit. The spread mostly comes down to which component has failed and how quickly the part can be sourced — always insist on an itemised quote before work starts so you can see labour, parts, and VAT broken out.
A standard diagnostic callout for gas boiler repair runs €90–€140, often offset against the work. Simple repairs — repressurising, replacing a PRV, swapping an ignition electrode — total €120–€220 fitted. Mid-complexity repairs — expansion vessel replacement, pump swap, divertor valve — run €280–€480. A PCB replacement is €350–€650. A heat exchanger replacement is €600–€1,100. If repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement cost on a unit over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more economic sense. Emergency and out-of-hours callouts typically carry a 30–50% premium over standard hourly rates, and a registered engineer should give you the repair-versus-replace comparison honestly rather than pushing a repair that won't pay its way.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Gas Appliance Repair FAQs
Why has my boiler stopped firing up?
The most common causes are low system pressure (re-pressurise via the filling loop), a tripped condensate trap from frozen condensate pipe, a faulty ignition lead or electrode, a PCB fault, or the gas supply being interrupted. A diagnostic visit identifies the cause in 30–60 minutes. Don't keep resetting a boiler that locks out repeatedly — it usually indicates a fault that will worsen.
What does a 'low pressure' fault mean?
Modern combi and system boilers need 1.0–1.5 bar pressure to operate. Repeated drops indicate either a leak somewhere in the system (PRV, radiator, or hidden pipework), or a perished expansion vessel that can't absorb expansion as the system heats up. A small drop once a year is normal; weekly re-pressurising is a fault that needs investigating.
Is it worth repairing a 12-year-old boiler?
Depends on the fault. PCB or pump replacement on a 12-year-old unit is generally fine and gets you several more years. But if a heat exchanger fails on a 10+ year old boiler, replacement of the whole unit usually makes more sense — the repair cost approaches replacement cost, and you reset your warranty clock. Get the RGI's honest opinion on remaining lifespan before paying for a major repair.
How fast can someone get out for an emergency?
Most Irish RGIs offer 24-hour emergency response, often with a 2–4 hour arrival window for genuine emergencies — no heat in winter, no hot water, gas leak smell. Non-emergencies (intermittent fault, low priority) are typically next working day. Out-of-hours rates are typically 30–50% premium over normal hourly rate.
Do I need to be home for the repair?
Yes, for first visit at minimum — the engineer needs to test, gain access to the boiler, and have you confirm the fault description. If parts need ordering, the second visit can sometimes be unattended if you leave a key with a neighbour. Always ask for the engineer's RGI ID before letting them in, and check it matches what's on rgii.ie.
Will my number be passed around to multiple gas engineers?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. Your job goes to one matched RGI-registered engineer — chosen closest and best-rated first — and messaging happens in-app. Every trader on Jobiit is ID-verified through Stripe Identity, holds valid public liability insurance, and for gas work must be on the RGI register. Posting is free, and you get a single, no-obligation itemised quote — most homeowners receive it within a few hours.
