I won't have gas in my house.

That's a bit harsh surely? If I had the option of mains gas, I'd have it
doing heating/hot water in a shot. I've got propane cylinders doing the hob,
since I like cooking with it.

I've called the fire brigade twice for a major gas leak in the house next
door.

So you make sure the gas bits are all done well. It's not actually that
hard, and you can always check what an installer has done. Yes, it can be
screwed up, and there is potential for a big bang if you really try hard,
but mostly people are competent enough to not get near that.
