Your Safety is Our Top Priority
Working with gas is inherently dangerous. An incorrect installation or a faulty repair can lead to gas leaks, creating a serious risk of fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning. This is why gas fitting is a licensed trade in Australia, and DIY gas work is illegal and extremely hazardous.
Our commitment to safety is unwavering. We adhere strictly to all Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5601), use state-of-the-art testing equipment, and provide Gas Compliance Certificates for all new installations, modifications, and extensions. When you choose us, you are choosing peace of mind.
Our Professional Gas Fitting Services
We offer a complete range of gas services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
1. Gas Leak Detection & Repair If you suspect a gas leak (often identified by a “rotten egg” smell), it is a critical emergency. Our experts use sensitive electronic gas detection equipment to accurately pinpoint the source of leaks in your pipework or appliances without unnecessary damage. We then perform swift, safe, and durable repairs to secure your property.
2. Gas Appliance Installation & Servicing Whether you’ve purchased a new gas cooktop, oven, heater, or hot water system, professional installation is essential for safe operation. We install all types of gas appliances, ensuring they are connected correctly, tested thoroughly, and operating at peak efficiency. We also provide routine servicing to keep your appliances in safe working order.
3. Gas Line Installation & Maintenance Our team is fully qualified to install new gas lines for property extensions, outdoor BBQ areas, or new builds. We can also extend existing gas lines and perform regular maintenance checks on your entire gas plumbing system to ensure its long-term integrity and safety.
4. Gas Compliance & Safety Checks For landlords, business owners, and safety-conscious homeowners, we offer comprehensive gas safety inspections and testing. We will check all your gas appliances, pipework, and ventilation to ensure they are compliant with all current regulations, providing you with a detailed report and a certificate of compliance upon completion.
Types of Gas Systems We Work With
Our licensed gas fitters are experienced with both:
- Natural Gas: The mains-supplied gas common in many residential and commercial areas.
- LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas): The bottled gas widely used in rural properties and for specific applications like outdoor barbecues and portable heaters.
Gas Fitting FAQs
What are the signs of a gas leak?
The most obvious sign is the distinct “rotten egg” or sulphur smell, which is an additive for detection. Other signs can include a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, bubbles in wet areas over underground pipes, or dying vegetation near a gas line. If you notice any of these, call us immediately from a safe location.
Why do I need a licensed gas fitter?
It is a legal requirement in Australia that only a licensed professional can perform gas fitting work. This is purely for safety. Licensed fitters have the training, knowledge, and specialised equipment to work with combustible gases safely, ensuring installations are compliant and connections are secure to prevent leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide exposure.
What is a Gas Compliance Certificate?
A Gas Compliance Certificate (or Certificate of Inspection/Compliance) is a legal document issued by a licensed gas fitter after they install, modify, or relocate a gas appliance or line. It certifies that the work has been completed to Australian Standards and is safe to use. It is a vital document for your home insurance and safety records.
Can you convert my BBQ from LPG to Natural Gas?
In many cases, yes. Many modern BBQs can be converted from LPG (bottles) to be connected directly to your home’s natural gas supply. This requires a specific conversion kit and must be performed by a licensed gas fitter to ensure the gas jets and regulators are correctly configured for safety and performance.
