PJ O'Callaghan Heating & Gas Services holds Registered Gas Installer (RGI) certification (R3581), the legal requirement in Ireland for any notifiable gas or boiler work, so they can self-certify and issue a completion certificate on gas jobs. Listings on plumbersinireland.ie are drawn from the RGI and CIRI registers and industry databases covering all 26 counties.
Clare is a predominantly rural county on the west coast with a relatively small natural gas network concentrated in Ennis and Shannon. The majority of the county lies outside the gas grid, making LPG the most common alternative fuel for homes and businesses in the rural west and north of the county. Installers operating across Clare therefore tend to see a mix of natural gas work in the main towns and LPG appliance and connection work in outlying areas.

Local Coverage in Clare
Ennis and Shannon are the main centres with natural gas coverage in Clare. Much of the county, including the Burren, West Clare and the coastal areas, relies on LPG or oil for heating.
Plumbers based in Co. Clare typically serve customers across Clare, covering Ennis, Shannon, Kilrush, Killaloe, Ennistymon, Lisdoonvarna, Kilkee and Scarriff. For larger jobs such as a full heating installation or bathroom renovation, it is worth getting two or three written quotes before committing. For gas boiler work specifically, always confirm the installer is RGI registered, as this is a legal requirement in Ireland.
Worth checking
Before You Book in Clare
Before booking any plumber, there are a few things worth confirming regardless of who you use:
- Ask about qualifications for the specific job. Gas work requires RGI registration. General plumbing benefits from CIRI registration, though this is voluntary rather than a legal requirement.
- Get a written quote that breaks down labour, parts and VAT separately. Call-out rates in Co. Clare typically range from €60 to €120 per hour, boiler replacement from €1,500 to €3,500 depending on type and access, and a full bathroom installation from €4,000 to €12,000 depending on spec.
- Confirm public liability insurance of at least €2.6 million, and ask for the certificate before work begins.
- Request a Certificate of Completion for any gas work. RGI installers are legally required to provide this, and it matters for insurance and property sales.
Gas work carried out by an unregistered person is illegal in Ireland and voids most home insurance policies. Always confirm RGI registration before any boiler or gas work goes ahead.
