Heating homes in East of England

The East of England mixes commuter towns that are almost entirely on mains gas with a large rural area where many homes are off the gas grid. In the towns, boiler swaps and servicing dominate; in the countryside, oil-fired boilers, LPG and electric heating are common, so it's worth saying what fuel you use when you ask for quotes.

Whatever the job, anyone working on a gas boiler, gas fire or gas supply must be on the Gas Safe Register – ask to see their ID card and check the back for the work they're qualified to do. How to check an engineer.
