I am confused, they seem to pay the exact same. British Gas engineer earn £29k + extras.
I work for a company that also employs gas engineers and i would say the pay is about the same.

yes but holding down a senior job with a company working on both disaplins at the same time, gives you a buzz working with norwest environmental especially with mr barlow in the driving seat

A service tech or mechanicQuote:

They would need a ticket to work on gas systems boilers etc.
From what i see from the guys that work at our place i would say Refrigeration/Air conditioning is more demanding.Quote:
