Franchise Opportunities with Heat Care UK

Would you like to own your own business in a fast-growing, established market?

Virtually every home and workplace use gas and gas appliances, the same for electrics. Safety obligations required by law can only be met by regular safety inspections and around 4.6 million UK homes that are privately rented must adhere to current legislation.

Many landlords and lettings agents across the UK rely on Heat Care UK to keep properties they manage safe. This has created a recession-proof market for our franchisees with repeat annual inspections every year, worth £400 million.

At Heat Care UK we have franchise opportunities available across the UK for engineers to carry out our unique combined gas and electrical inspections, repairs and installations for both domestic and commercial clients.

Since 1996 gas-elec has grown rapidly into a national network of successful regional and local franchisees. All management and inspection franchisees share a common bond; their investment in the gas-elec business model, as well as being part of a team with the unrivalled support of a highly successful and experienced franchisor.

It’s a huge and growing market, so why not become a part of our reputable franchise network and discover the worthwhile career that secures your own financial future?

  • Gerry McGuiness - SW London franchisee
    In 16 years I’ve rarely lost a client and the demand for safety inspections in the rental sector has grown enormously, so my income has increased almost year on- year. When I joined the franchise in 1997 I was told I could be earning £40,000 a year very quickly. In fact, I did that in Year one and I’ve always earned more than that, so I am a very happy franchisee!

  • D. H. (gas-elec area 17) Long-term gas-elec Safety Inspection Franchisee
    It’s great. The company gets the work in for me and deals with all the invoicing, so I don’t have to chase money. I get paid twice a month and it’s not a dirty job. I mainly do testing and a small amount of remedial work.

  • U.M. gas-elec Safety Inspection Engineer
    gas-elec is a brilliant concept. Most years I netted over the £50,000.00 a year just as managing director John Davidson proposed to me in 1998 when I first joined. I would be happy to continue to associate myself with gas-elec wherever I may be.
