Gas Fitting Como | Licensed Gas Fitters

First question: what gas is the property actually on?

Gas availability is not uniform across these river suburbs, and assuming natural gas is on the street is how a job goes wrong before it starts.

Some properties here run on bottled LPG instead. That is a perfectly good arrangement and a great many houses use it, but it is a different installation: different appliances, different sizing, different things the pipework has to account for.

Appliances are built for one gas or the other. Some can be converted by a licensed fitter with the correct kit, and none of them should ever be run on the wrong gas or converted by anybody without a licence.

So we establish that first, then quote the actual job rather than a generic one. It takes a minute and it is the difference between a fixed price that holds and a surprise on the day.

Gas work on a Como property

Natural gas is not everywhere here

Availability varies across these suburbs, so the first thing worth establishing is what the property actually runs on.

Bottled LPG is common and entirely legitimate. It simply means a different installation, and a quote that assumed otherwise will not hold.

The appliance has to match the gas

Appliances are manufactured for natural gas or for LPG. Some can be converted by a licensed fitter with the correct conversion kit.

Running an appliance on the wrong gas, or converting one without a licence, is illegal and genuinely dangerous. There is no version of that worth attempting.

The certificate is the record

A Certificate of Compliance is issued by the licensed gasfitter and certifies the work was done to standard. It is legally required.

Keep it with the house papers. Insurers ask for it, and a conveyancer will want the full set when the property is sold.

We test the installation, not just the new bit

Certifying a new cooktop on a line that is leaking elsewhere achieves nothing, so the whole installation gets pressure tested.

If something else is wrong you hear about it before we leave, with a price rather than a vague warning.

Unlicensed gas work is uninsurable

Gas fitting is licensed work in NSW and there is no small-job exemption.

Work done without a licence cannot be certified, and it will void a home insurance claim. If you have inherited work of unknown origin, have it checked.

How a gas call-out runs.

Step 01

We ask what gas you are on

Natural gas or bottled LPG. It changes the appliance, the sizing and the quote, so it comes first.

Step 02

Pressure testing a gas installation at a Como home

The installation tested

Not only the fitting going in. A pressure test on the whole installation, so nothing is certified over an existing fault.

Step 03

Installing a gas appliance at a Como property

Fitted to standard

Installed and commissioned properly, sized for the appliance rather than for whatever was easiest.

Step 04

Handing over a gas compliance certificate in Como

Certificate handed over

The Certificate of Compliance issued on the spot, and worth keeping with the house papers.

Gas fitting questions.

What Como locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Como and the surrounding suburbs

I can smell gas. What do I do?

Get everyone outside first. Do not switch anything on or off, including lights, and do not use a phone inside the building. If you can safely reach the meter or the cylinder valve on the way out, turn it off. Then ring from outside. This is the one plumbing situation where we would rather you did nothing clever and simply left.

Is my street on natural gas?

It depends where you are, and it is genuinely worth checking rather than assuming. Some properties around here run on bottled LPG instead, and that is not a lesser arrangement, it is just a different one. It changes which appliances suit, how the pipework is sized and what the installation has to account for, so it is the first thing we establish.

Does LPG change what I can install?

It changes the appliance and the setup rather than the possibilities. Appliances are made for one gas or the other, and some can be converted by a licensed fitter with the correct kit. What you should never do is run an appliance on the wrong gas or fit a conversion yourself. That is both illegal and genuinely dangerous.

What is a Certificate of Compliance and do I actually need one?

It is the document a licensed gasfitter issues certifying that gas work was carried out to the standard. It is legally required, and it is the only record that the work was done properly. Keep it with the house papers, because insurers ask for it and so does a conveyancer when the property changes hands. We issue one on every gas job without being asked.

Can I install a gas cooktop myself?

No. Gas work is licensed work in NSW and doing it unlicensed is illegal, uninsurable and unsafe. There is no exemption for a small job or for someone who is handy. If it is already in and you are not sure who put it in, that is worth having checked rather than wondered about.

Do you check the rest of the installation?

Yes, as part of the job. There is little point certifying a new cooktop on a line that is leaking somewhere else, so we pressure test the installation rather than only the fitting we just put in. If something else is wrong you will hear about it before we leave, with a price.

What does gas work cost in Como?

A gas leak test on the installation is $150 to $300. A cooktop connected and certified is $250 to $500. A new gas point run and certified is $450 to $1,200 depending on the distance and what it has to pass through. A bayonet for a heater is $300 to $600. The compliance certificate is included in all of it.
