Oil, gas and conversions
Natural gas arrived in Belfast relatively recently compared with the rest of the UK, and the network has gradually expanded across the city and beyond. Where gas is available, converting from oil means removing the oil boiler and tank, connecting to the gas network and fitting a new gas boiler. The gas supplier usually needs to provide a connection first, so engineers often advise you to check availability before you get quotes.
If you're staying with oil, a modern condensing oil boiler can replace an older one, and annual servicing is just as important as with gas. Oil engineers are usually OFTEC-registered, while gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Pricing a boiler or heating job in Belfast
Two boiler quotes for similar homes in Belfast can differ more than you might expect. It often comes down to things like these:
- Gas connection: availability and the connection to your property affect the timeline.
- Tank removal: taking out an oil tank adds to the cost of a conversion.
- Fuel choice: oil and gas boilers differ in price and installation work.

Belfast boiler and heating FAQs
Can I switch from oil to gas in Belfast?
If the gas network reaches your street, usually yes. You'll need a gas connection to the property, after which a Gas Safe registered engineer can fit a gas boiler and remove the oil system. Check availability with the gas network first.
Who should service my oil boiler?
Oil boilers are usually serviced by OFTEC-registered technicians. Gas boilers must be serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Do Belfast engineers cover Lisburn and Newtownabbey?
Many do. Your postcode decides which engineers receive your request.
Boilers and heating systems across Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is different from the rest of the UK: oil-fired central heating has long been the most common system, and the natural gas network is newer, reaching Belfast and a growing number of towns. Conversions from oil to gas are therefore a regular job where gas is available. Anyone working on gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register.
For anything involving gas, only use an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. Their ID card lists the types of gas work they're registered for, and you can confirm their registration online. How to check an engineer.
