The gas work splits across two pages depending on the job:

Which gas jobs come up around here?

Old houses, old lines

The Federation cottages and weatherboard miners' cottages that define these streets were piped generations ago, and gas lines age the same way water lines do. A run sized for a 1960s heater may struggle to feed a modern cooktop plus a continuous-flow heater at once.

Renovations add the rest

A new cooktop must meet today's gas rules, not the ones the house was originally plumbed to, so a kitchen upgrade in older stock often means new pipe as well as a new appliance.

How do you know the line is struggling?

A few signs point at the gas side of the house rather than the appliance sitting on it:

  • A heater or cooktop that flames yellow instead of blue
  • A rotten-egg odour around the meter or along the path of the pipe
  • An appliance that shuts itself down mid-use
  • Higher gas bills without a change in how much you use

If any of those show up, a pressure test on the line settles whether the fault is the pipe or the appliance.

What drives the price of gas fitting?

"We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested" Lee

What sits behind the figure:

  • Line length and access A run threaded through a low subfloor or under a deck costs more labour than an exposed run on a garage wall, and the older cottages complicate access more than the newer infill does.
  • Pipe size An existing run serving one old heater may need upgrading before a cooktop alongside a continuous-flow unit can both run at once.
  • Testing and certification Every line is pressure-tested and signed off, and that sign-off is included in the figure rather than billed separately.
  • After-hours attendance It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

That fixed figure means the invoice matches the number you agreed to, with no guessing at the end. Lee found exactly that on a Friday-afternoon gas fault:

The stock explains the pipe

The coal-mining township founded here in 1889 left a housing mix heavy on Federation-era homes and Californian bungalows, with miners' cottages and later brick duplexes filling the gaps between them. Gas standards have tightened a long way since those houses were connected, so an ageing line often needs work before a new appliance can legally go on it.

The climate sets the load

Cool Hunter winters, about 6km in from the coast, put the heater, the cooktop and a gas water heater on the line together on the coldest mornings. A pressure test before winter shows whether the line can carry it.

How the gas booking runs

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead. 3. The gas fitter pressure-tests the line, checks each appliance drawing on it, and certifies the work.

  3. 03

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

Gas Work That Belongs Elsewhere

When we're not the right call: the meter and the street main are the gas distributor's equipment, so a fault there is theirs to fix. A switchboard fault behind a dead appliance is a job for a licensed electrician, and LPG cylinder work on caravans and boats sits outside our licence.

Gas questions from these streets

Do the older cottages here need their gas lines checked before a new appliance goes in?

Yes, and it is quick to do. Plenty of the pre-war houses were piped for appliances that left the market decades ago, so a line feeding a modern cooktop can be undersized. We pressure-test the existing pipe first, then quote the appliance and any pipe work it needs together.

Can you run a gas line out to a BBQ near Blackbutt Reserve?

Yes. A dedicated BBQ line or a bayonet point on an outside wall is standard gas fitting. The run gets buried or clipped to code and certified after a pressure test, before anything connects to it.

Is a gas hot water system a good swap for an old electric tank?

Often, yes. Gas storage recovers quickly after a run of showers, and a continuous-flow unit heats on demand so it cannot empty. Which suits you depends on household size, and the hot water page compares every type.

What should I do if I smell gas inside the house?

Get out, leave switches and flames alone, and ring from the footpath or a neighbour's place. The gas leak page covers the full steps. A leak at the meter or in the street goes to the gas distributor; anything inside your boundary we trace and repair once the house is safe.
