While many electricians are capable of installing solar panels, it's best to use an MCS-certified installer. This ensures that they have specific training and qualifications in solar energy systems, which is also a requirement to qualify for certain government incentives and feed-in tariffs.

Smart meters are designed and tested to meet strict safety standards. They use low-level radio waves to transmit data, which are well within the safety limits set by the relevant authorities.

If you are unsure whether your property has a current gas safety certificate, you can contact us at CRS Matrix and we can help you verify this information. We will need to know the address of the property and the date of the last inspection. If there is no existing certificate or the current certificate has expired, we can arrange for a gas safety inspection to be carried out at your property. This will help ensure that your property is safe and compliant with gas safety regulations.

If your gas safety certificate has expired, you will need to schedule a gas safety inspection as soon as possible. Our team at CRS Matrix can assist you with this. We will send a Gas Servicing Engineer to your property to carry out a full inspection and provide you with a new certificate once your gas appliances have been deemed safe. It is important to note that continuing to use gas appliances without a valid gas safety certificate can be dangerous and potentially illegal. Contact us today to schedule an inspection.

It’s crucial to choose an installer who has the necessary credentials and experience with EV charging systems.
