Gas Fitting Eastwood | Licensed Gas Fitters

It is rarely one installation

In a house built as one job, the gas went in as one job. Everything is the same age, the same material and the same standard, and a plumber can reason about it as a whole.

These houses were not built that way. The orchards were subdivided from the late 1940s and the houses have been extended ever since: a bathroom, a kitchen moved, a room on the back, a heater added one winter.

Gas followed the house. A run to the kitchen, another added later for the heater, a third when the extension went on, each by a different person at a different time and to the standard of that time.

So the honest starting point is that nobody knows what is there until it is tested. That is not alarming, and most of it is perfectly sound. It is a reason to test the installation rather than to certify a new appliance on top of an assumption.

Gas work in an Eastwood house

Added to, not installed once

A run to the kitchen, another for a heater, a third with the extension. Different people, different decades.

Which is ordinary, and it is why testing beats assuming.

The standard of the day was the standard of the day

Work done properly in 1970 was done to 1970's requirements.

That is not a criticism of anybody, and it is a reason to look before adding load.

A new appliance changes the load

Adding a cooktop or a heater to an installation that grew piecemeal is a capacity question as well as a connection one.

Usually answerable, but a question rather than an assumption.

The certificate is the only record

It is legally required and it is the one durable proof the work was done to standard.

In a house with a long history of small jobs, it is worth having and worth keeping.

Unlicensed gas work is not worth it

It cannot be certified, and it voids a home insurance claim.

There is no small-job exemption in NSW and there is no version of this that saves money.

Certificate of Compliance included

Legally required, and issued on every gas job without being asked for.

How a gas call-out runs.

Step 01

We ask about the house

When it was built and whether it has been extended. That tells us how many separate pieces of work we are likely to find.

Step 02

Pressure testing a gas installation in Eastwood

The installation tested

A pressure test on what we are connecting to, so nothing gets certified over an existing fault.

Step 03

Installing a gas appliance in an Eastwood home

Fitted to standard

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

Step 04

Handing over a gas compliance certificate in Eastwood

Certificate handed over

Issued on the spot, and worth keeping with the house papers.

Gas fitting questions.

What Eastwood locals ask us before booking a plumber.

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

I can smell gas. What do I do?

Get everyone out first. Do not touch a light switch or any other switch, and do not use a phone inside. If the meter is safely on your way out, turn it off. Then ring from outside. This is the one situation where doing nothing clever and simply leaving is right.

Why does the installation matter more than the appliance?

Because in a house that has been added to since the 1940s, the gas runs were rarely put in as one job. A line to the kitchen, another added for a heater, a third when a room went on the back, each by a different person at a different time. Certifying a new appliance on top of that without testing what it connects to proves very little.

What is a Certificate of Compliance?

The document a licensed gasfitter issues certifying the work was done to standard. It is legally required, and it is the only durable record the job was done properly. Keep it with the house papers, because insurers ask and so does a conveyancer at sale. We issue one on every gas job without being asked.

Can I install a cooktop myself?

No. Gas is licensed work in NSW with no exemption for a small job or a capable owner. Unlicensed work cannot be certified and it voids a home insurance claim, which makes it an expensive way to save an afternoon.

Do you test the whole installation or just the new appliance?

The installation. Certifying a new cooktop on a line that is losing somewhere else achieves nothing, so we pressure test what we are connecting to. If something else is wrong you hear about it before we leave, with a price attached rather than a vague warning.

Can I add a gas point where there has never been one?

Usually, and the question is the run rather than the permission. In a house that has grown, the sensible route is not always the obvious one, and establishing it before anything is ordered is cheaper than discovering it afterwards.

What does gas work cost in Eastwood?

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