Targeted at less-well-off families, the move will see the distributor carry out free checks on household gas installations and offer to replace old pipework with a flexible pipe to reduce leaks.

GRDF will also refund up to €150 of the cost of a replacement gas tap or getting rid of a soldered joint, which are known weak spots.
