In the UK, central heating engineers are typically qualified in plumbing and heating systems, often holding certifications related to gas safety (like Gas Safe registration). While many engineers may have some knowledge of electrical systems, their primary focus is on the installation, maintenance, and repair of heating systems, including boilers and radiators.

However, troubleshooting electrical issues can be outside the scope of their training unless they have additional qualifications in electrical work. For electrical problems, it is generally advisable to consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Some engineers may work with electrical components of heating systems (e.g., thermostats or controls) but should not be relied upon for extensive electrical troubleshooting without the proper qualifications.
