Gas Cooker Installation Cost
In light of the recent economic hardship, finding the best deals and ‘bargain hunting’ has never been more prevalent as it is now. With cheap deals being offered amongst a range of industries it is no surprise that this has evoked cheap deals in the area of domestic engineering. It is notable that often cheap gas cooker installation costs are offered by the least qualified as a means of competing against trained and certified engineers.
Superficially, these cheap gas cooker installation costs appear to be very appealing to the customer especially given the recent financial downturn. Often home-owners accept these deals giving little consideration as to why they’re so cheap. In a capitalist market companies naturally engage in competitive pricing, however when the service is being sold so cheaply it is necessary to question why.
It can be said there is is a correlation between the cheapesr gas cooker installation costs are and the least qualified engineers who pitch low prices as a means of competing against trained and certified engineers. By law any engineer operating with gas in the UK must be Gas Safe registered. Gas Safe is the governing UK body which presides over gas related work.
The Guardian online reports that: “GSR said there are about 7,500 “hard core” illegal gas fitters operating in the UK. They are easy to identify because they are usually prepared to work cash in hand and undercut qualified fitters.” The article then goes on to describe the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. These include nausea, headaches and nosebleeds. This highlights the possible dangers of accepting cheap gas cooker installation costs.
