What Does the Job Actually Involve?

Most installs are one of two jobs:

A first-time connection

A cooktop going into a new kitchen, a BBQ switched from a bottle to mains gas, a pool heater or wall furnace that has never had a supply. We run and size the line, then complete the compliance paperwork.

A straight replacement

We disconnect the old oven or cooktop and fit its replacement in the same bay, on the existing pipework. The work is mostly disconnection, fitting, testing and the compliance paperwork.

Either way, the law requires a licensed gas fitter. Before we pack up, the appliance runs at operating pressure, each burner's flame is checked, and you get shown the controls.

Appliances We Connect

  • Cooktops and built-in ovens, new or replacing an old unit
  • BBQs converted from bottle supply to mains gas
  • Pool and spa heaters out at the pool equipment
  • Wall heaters and space heaters for cool winter mornings
  • Gas hot water systems, which live on the hot water pages

Not sure your appliance is on the list? Ask when you ring.

What Decides the Price of a Gas Connection?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

An install is priced mostly on whether gas is already at the spot:

  • The run from the meter A short line to a kitchen bay is a smaller job than piping gas out to a pool heater at the back fence.
  • Whether the existing pipe can cope Some older lines were sized for one appliance and need upgrading before they carry another.
  • Access A built-in oven in a tight cabinet is a different job to a freestanding cooker in an open laundry.
  • The appliance itself A cooktop, a pool heater and a wall furnace each connect differently, and the fittings differ with them.

Gas Work Across the Local Streets

Old lines, new releases

Much of Thornton went up from the 1980s onward, and new land releases keep adding streets. Older homes often have a gas pipe too small for a modern appliance, while new builds may have no gas run to the spot at all.

Commercial kitchens too

We connect gas appliances for the hotel on Poynton Place and the cafes near the Taylor Avenue shops. The key step is matching the pipe size to what the appliance burns.

How We Connect a Gas Appliance

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1232 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. 03

    Connect and test

    We run or adapt the gas line, fit the appliance, check the pressure and flame, and leave you with everything working and explained.

  4. 04

    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.

When We're Not the Right Call

A gas smell is an emergency, not an install: get outside and ring your gas distributor's emergency line, then call us for the repair. A new oven that needs its own power circuit, or a fault in an appliance's wiring, is electrician's work.

Gas Appliance Questions We Hear

Can you run a new gas line to a brand-new appliance?

Yes. The new pipe goes from your meter to the appliance, sized for what it burns, and is pressure-tested once connected.

Do you remove the old appliance when you install the new one?

Usually yes. Disconnecting and taking away the old unit is part of most swaps, and we confirm exactly what the agreed quote covers before we start.

Will the job need a compliance certificate?

Yes. Every gas connection needs one from a licensed gas fitter, and it comes with the invoice.

Do you connect gas appliances in shops and cafés?

Yes. Commercial connections get booked before opening or after close, so the kitchen isn't out of action during service.
