Once again we have different gas companies knocking on everyone's door to make the gas revision. We have received many complaints informing us that they intend by all means to get into the house saying that it is compulsory to make the gas revision and if you do not do it you will have many problems. They also charge extremely high prices once they have managed to convince you to let them in your house.

Say no and do not let them into your house.

         The gas revision is to be done every 5 years but with the company that you choose and have phoned previously to make an appointment for them to come to your house.

         In Nerja we have 2 gas companies with an office where you can contact them or complain if necessary:

• Repsol (orange bottles):

Garcia & Hijos, C/ Antonio Millon, Edf. Peñafiel. Tel. 952 52 4195.

• Cepsa (silver bottles):

Servigas, C/ Ruperto Anduez 13. Tel. 952 521593.
