Hi Service Gas

Do I need an annual gas inspection for my home insurance?

👉 Bottom line: No, it’s not legally required every year - but you must have a valid Certificate of Conformity (CoC), and many insurers strongly recommend annual checks to keep you covered.

With LPG regulations becoming stricter and insurers tightening requirements, understanding compliance is key to protecting both your home and your claim.

Here’s what every homeowner should know:
1. Registered Professionals Only:
All gas installations, maintenance, and repairs must be done by a SAQCC-registered practitioner to ensure legal compliance and safety.

2. Certificate of Conformity (CoC):
A valid CoC is a legal requirement for all permanent installations and must be issued after any installation, modification, or property transfer.

3. Mandatory Inspection Intervals:
Key components like regulators and manifold systems must be inspected at least every 5 years.

4. General Appliance Maintenance:
All gas appliances must be correctly installed, regularly maintained, and checked to prevent safety risks.

5. Claims Can Be Repudiated:
If you don’t have a valid CoC and something goes wrong, your insurer can reject your claim.

6. Wear and Tear Checks:
Even though a CoC may be valid for up to 5 years, insurers often recommend annual inspections to catch issues early.

7. Stricter Renewal Policies:
Some insurers may require CoC renewals more frequently than the legal minimum - always check your policy.
