Gas Plumbing & Gas Fitting
Gas Plumbing Services We Provide
Gas Appliance Installation
We install gas cooktops, ovens, gas heaters, gas fireplaces, BBQ points, and gas dryers. Every installation includes full compliance testing, leak checks, and a gas compliance certificate. If you're renovating a kitchen or adding a gas point to your outdoor area, we handle everything from running the new gas line to connecting and commissioning the appliance.
Gas Hot Water Systems
Gas continuous flow (instantaneous) systems like the Rinnai Infinity and Bosch Highflow are the most popular hot water upgrade we install. They heat water on demand so you never run out, and they're more efficient than electric storage tanks. We install, repair, and replace gas hot water systems on both natural gas and LPG.
Gas Leak Detection and Repair
If you can smell gas, hear a hissing sound near a gas line, or notice your gas bill spiking without explanation, you may have a gas leak. We use pressure testing to locate leaks in your gas lines and repair or replace the affected sections. Gas leaks are a safety issue and should be dealt with immediately.
Gas Line Installation and Extensions
Running new gas lines to extensions, granny flats, outdoor kitchens, or pool heaters. We size the gas line to your appliance load, run the pipe, and connect everything with full compliance certification. If your property runs on LPG bottles, we can also install or upgrade your regulator and manifold setup.
Gas Compliance Certificates
All gas work in NSW requires a gas compliance certificate issued by a licensed gas fitter. We provide certificates for every gas job, whether it's a new installation, a repair, or a property inspection. If you're buying or selling a property, we can provide a gas safety inspection and certificate.
Safety First Approach
Every gas job starts with a full system assessment. We check existing gas lines, connections, and appliances before starting any work. If we find an existing fault or non-compliant installation, we'll flag it and explain your options before proceeding.
Compliance on Every Job
NSW regulations require all gas work to be performed by a licensed gas fitter and certified with a compliance certificate. We are fully licensed and every job is completed to Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601. No shortcuts, no uncertified work.
All Fuel Types
We work with natural gas and LPG (bottled gas). Many Northern Rivers properties, particularly in rural areas around Mullumbimby, Alstonville and the hinterland, run on LPG rather than mains gas. We handle both.
