What we install
The list covers most gas gear in a home:
- Cooktop, oven and freestanding stove installation, including LPG conversions
- BBQ and patio heater connections, with outdoor-rated fittings
- Pool and spa heater connections and commissioning
- Gas log fire installs and flue checks
- New gas lines run from the meter to where the appliance lives
Every job finishes the same way: leak-tested, commissioned and signed off to NSW gas standards.
Does a swap need a licensed gas fitter?
Yes, and that is law, not preference. NSW gas work belongs with a licensed gas fitter, because an uncertified install can void the appliance warranty and weaken your insurance position. A licensed fitter also sizes the supply properly, since an undersized line to a new cooktop or heater shows up as poor flame performance no dial adjustment will fix.
How we fit the appliance
- 01
Assess the setup
Meter, existing line and the appliance's new position all get checked, and we confirm the supply can carry the load.
- 02
Price first
The figure arrives in writing before we start, and it holds.
- 03
Fit and connect
We run or extend the line as needed, connect the appliance, and use fittings rated for coastal conditions wherever the job sits exposed.
- 04
Test and sign off
Every joint gets leak-tested, the appliance is commissioned, and the compliance paperwork lands in your hands.
What sets the cost of an install?
Four things move the figure:
- Whether a new line has to be run from the meter, or the appliance connects to an existing point
- Access to the location, including tight cavities, under-floor runs or roof-space work
- The appliance type, since a pool heater or log fire needs more flueing and commissioning than a cooktop
- The condition of the existing line, because a corroded or undersized run has to be brought up to standard first
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. So the number you agree to is the number on the invoice.
Gas work across this suburb's housing mix
Approval figures show 326 new dwellings approved here over five years. New kitchens and outdoor areas are where gas points usually get added:
- BBQ points on decks and patios
- Cooktops in new kitchens
- Gas heaters in living rooms
The older cottages through the Glebe tell a different story. Supply routes there have been altered across many years of refits, so we check the existing line before we connect anything to it.
Homes near the Merewether Surfhouse end and the beachfront blocks also sit in salt-laden wind. That is why outdoor connections get marine-rated fittings and a proper test rather than a standard kit off the shelf.
When we're not the right call
If the appliance is electrical, an electrician should handle it. And if you can smell gas right now, that is not an install job: leave the area, don't touch light switches, and ring the gas network's emergency line first. Once the immediate risk is handled, we trace and repair the fault, and you can read more on our gas leak detection page.
Smell gas? That is a different job: see gas leak detection, or our plumber in Merewether page for everything else.
Questions we get about appliance installs
Can you run a new gas line to a BBQ point in a Merewether backyard?
Yes. We size the run from your meter or an existing point, pressure test it, and fit an outdoor-rated bayonet where you want the BBQ to live.
Do you install gas appliances in the older cottages through the Glebe?
Regularly. Those homes often need the supply route checked before the new appliance goes in, so we test the existing line rather than assume it is sound.
How long does a gas appliance installation take?
It depends on the appliance and the line. Connecting to an existing point is a shorter job than a new run from the meter, and the quote tells you which one yours is.
Will my new gas appliance be certified?
Yes. Every install gets leak-tested and commissioned, and you receive the compliance paperwork for your records.
