The Gas Connection Process Explained

Step 1Check if you can connect to gas

You can check online if gas is available to your home. While natural gas may be available in your county, it may or may not be available to your particular home.

What to do:

• Go to the Domestic gas map
• Enter your Eircode or address
• Submit your address and find out if you can avail of gas

Step 3Pay for connection works

We will contact you by phone to arrange payment and the appointment for your connection.

• Pay for your connection
• Agree your appointment time
• Receive your GPRN (Gas Point Registration Number)
• Organise the internal work for the house

Step 5RGI completes internal work

Depending on the level of work required this can take from a number of hours up to 2 days.

Your RGI will complete the agreed internal work on the house. This should include any gas pipes and appliances required. Once the work is completed your RGI should supply you with an RGI conformance certificate.

What to do:

• Choose your appliances
• RGI conformance certificate received

Step 7We connect you

You will need to be present at the property during this time. This work typically takes 1-2 hours.

Your gas supplier will request us to arrange an appointment to install and connect your meter.

What to do:

• Confirm appointment for meter fitting
• Be available for the appointment
• Have RGI conformance certificate

 

Once the gas meter has been installed by us, you must then contact your RGI again to return and connect the internal pipe work to our supply and turn on the gas.
