What Does a Gas Fitter Actually Do?

Everything on your side of the meter, from the first fitting after it to the burner on the appliance:

  • Installing and commissioning cooktops, ovens, stoves, BBQs and pool heaters
  • New pipe runs, or an extension of the existing line, to where the appliance will sit
  • Finding and repairing leaks in pipework, fittings and appliance connections
  • Pressure testing lines and issuing the compliance sign-off that legalises the work

NSW law limits this work to licensed gas fitters. A faulty water joint shows itself with a drip, but a faulty gas joint can leak unseen inside a wall. So each line is pressure tested before the gas is turned on, and the compliance certificate comes with the job.

Heddon Greta Gas Fitting Services

The gas work is split across two pages:

Gas Appliance Installation

New or replacement gas appliances in the kitchen, on the patio or by the pool, connected to a new or existing gas point and checked before first use. Connecting a gas appliance

Gas Leak Detection and Repair

A gas smell, a hiss near a fitting or a gas bill rising for no reason, traced with a detector, repaired and pressure tested before anything is relit. Tracing a gas smell

Gas also runs into hot water. If a gas hot water unit is on your list, the hot water systems page walks through the choice, and this page covers the gas line that feeds it.

What Shapes the Cost of Gas Work?

For gas, the price starts with how far the new pipe has to travel:

  • Pipe length A new line across the back of the house to a patio BBQ needs more copper, more clips and a longer test than swapping a cooktop on an existing point.
  • The path it takes Running through a finished brick wall or a concrete slab takes longer than an open subfloor or roof space.
  • The appliance itself A pool heater tie-in is a bigger commissioning job than a freestanding oven, and the quote reflects the actual work.
  • Urgency A gas fault fixed after dark is priced at a night rate, which you agree to before we start.

Village Cottages and Estate Kitchens

Young families, new kitchens

At the last census the median age was 33, and the brick-veneer homes of the Avery's Green releases above the Hunter Expressway are family houses. Gas work there means cooktops and ovens in new kitchens, patio BBQ points, and pool heater lines added when a pool goes in over summer.

Older walls in the village

The weatherboard cottages on Main Road went up in the mining era, with timber frames, tight subfloors and decades of changes. Running a new gas line through them takes more planning than in a slab-on-ground estate home, and the quote allows for it.

When We're Not the Right Call

If the smell is worst around the meter or out on the footpath, the pipe at fault is the distributor's, so ring their fault line from outside first. Converting a whole house from bottled gas to mains also starts with them, because they run the service pipe and fit the meter.

Gas Fitting Questions From Heddon Greta Homes

Do you install gas cooktops, ovens and BBQs in Heddon Greta?

Yes. Licensed gas fitters connect cooktops, ovens, upright stoves, BBQ bayonets and pool heaters, then leak-test the connection and light the burners with you watching. The compliance paperwork is lodged once the test passes, and the appliance page explains what each install involves.

Who handles a leak on the street side of the gas meter?

The gas distributor. The service pipe and meter belong to them, so a smell out at the street is reported to their fault number from a safe spot outside. Past the meter, the pipework in your walls, the fittings and the appliances are ours to trace and repair.

Can a bottled-gas BBQ be converted to natural gas?

Many models can, and it is licensed gas work, not a home project. The burners need natural gas jets and the BBQ needs a fixed line or bayonet, all tested before the first cook. Send us the make and model and we check whether a conversion kit exists.

Do you do gas work for shops and venues around Heddon Greta?

We do. Cafe ranges, pub kitchens and workshop heaters are licensed gas work like a home cooktop, just bigger and busier. Describe the appliance and its location, and the commercial plumbing page covers how those bookings are timed around trading.
