Heating engineers get rung for two reasons: the boiler has stopped and the house is cold, or it is October and someone has remembered it was never serviced. The person searching “boiler service Dublin” or “heating engineer near me” checks three things before ringing. Are you RGI registered, what does a service cost, and can you come soon. Websites for heating engineers in Dublin that put the RGI number, a fixed service price and an honest line about availability on the first screen get the call. Ones that make people hunt for any of the three lose it to the next result.
The registration goes at the top
Gas work in Ireland has to be done by a Registered Gas Installer, and customers have learned to look for the RGI number the way they look for a price. Put it on every page with a short line on what it means and that a certificate is issued for gas work. If you also do oil boilers, say so and name any registration you hold for oil. If you install heat pumps under the SEAI grant and are on their registered installer list, say that too, because the grant depends on it. None of this is boasting; it is the paperwork the customer needs to tick before they ring.
No heat on a Sunday in January
The breakdown customer is cold and wants a time. Say your emergency hours, your areas, and your callout charge plainly. If you do not do weekends, say that too; a customer who reads it will not be angry, and the one who rings a number that says “emergency” and gets voicemail will be. A line about what they can check first (the pressure gauge, the thermostat, the credit on a prepay meter) saves you some of the calls and makes you look like the engineer who does not take advantage.
There are plumbers who do heating and heating engineers who do plumbing, so if you leave the leaking taps to someone else, point them to a plumber and keep your phone for boilers.
A fixed price for the service, and a reminder next year
The annual service is the bread and butter, and it is the easiest thing in the trade to price. A fixed price for a gas boiler service, another for oil, what the service includes, how long it takes, and what the customer gets at the end. Put it on the page with a button.
On Complete, customers can book a service slot online, get a text the day before, and get a reminder when twelve months have passed, which turns one service into a customer for the life of the boiler. On Essentials the price and the phone number do most of that work.
The old boiler, photographed
Replacement quotes need a look, but a lot of the looking can happen by photo. Ask on the page for a picture of the existing boiler, the flue where it leaves the house, the hot press and the controls, and the type of fuel. You can then say whether it is a straight swap or a bigger job, and give a range before you visit.
List the boiler brands you fit and why, and what a replacement includes: the flue, filters, controls, the certificate, taking the old one away. Then the bigger jobs: heat pumps, cylinders, zoning, power flushing, smart thermostats, radiators. Each is a search someone types, so each gets a short page.
September to Christmas, then the cold snap
Heating has a hard season. The phone starts in September when the heating goes on and stays busy to Christmas with services, then the first cold snap in January brings the breakdowns in a wave. Spring and summer are quiet, and that is when replacements and heat pump installs fit comfortably. A line on the page offering summer service slots, or saying honestly in October that services are booking three weeks out, is changed from your phone in a minute and saves you twenty calls you cannot take.
What we need from you
Your RGI number and any other registrations. Your service prices for gas and oil. Your emergency hours, areas and callout charge. The brands you fit and what a replacement includes. Photos of tidy installs: the boiler on the wall, the pipework, the controls. Ten minutes, and the busy season is fine, we can work around it.
Plan and price
Essentials is €499 to set up and €50 a month, no contract, VAT on top, and covers what most heating engineers need: the site, the .ie domain, hosting, the Google listing and a monthly report of calls. Complete adds online service bookings with annual reminders, review requests after each job, and a chat box that answers “are you RGI registered and do you cover Swords” at 7am. The plans are side by side on the pricing page. For how the map listing works for a trade that hides its home address, read what is local SEO.
