What Gas Work Does a Home Here Need?

Gas jobs sort into three groups:

New connections

Converting a cooktop to gas, a bayonet point for a heater, a BBQ line to the deck or a pool heater hookup.

Faults and repairs

A burner that won't stay lit, a pilot that drops out, a heater with an odd smell at start-up.

Safety checks

Testing an old line before a renovation, or tracking down a smell that is there one day and gone the next.

Gas hot water is covered with the other system types under hot water.

When Does an Appliance Need a Gas Fitter?

Gas faults give fair warning once you know the signs.

  • A flame burning yellow or orange rather than clean blue, which points to a burner or air mixture problem.
  • A start-up smell that lingers instead of fading, or a faint hiss once the room goes quiet.
  • Soot marking around a hotplate or heater front, a sign the burn is running wrong.
  • An appliance that keeps dropping its pilot or shutting itself down.

Any single sign deserves a check. Two together, or any smell that lingers, means turning the appliance off and ringing.

How Is Gas Work Priced on This Ridge?

Three things set the number, and you hear all of them before work starts.

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

  • The length of pipe A bayonet on the nearest wall is quick, while a trenched line to a pool heater at the back fence means a day of digging.
  • Ground and access Digging a trench in the shale and reactive clay here is hard going, and lines under raised floors or through slabs take extra care.
  • The appliance Swapping a cooktop onto an existing point is a lighter job than a heater that needs its own run from the meter.

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. A customer on a gas job put it this way:

Why Gas Work Here Starts With the House

Three eras of house

Weatherboard and fibro homes from the 1950s, brick veneer from the 1970s and 80s, and the 1990s estates on former colliery land each had gas run to the standards of their day. Before anything new connects, the existing line is tested and checked for the extra load.

Ground and weather

New lines run through shale and reactive clay, so trenches are dug and bedded with care. The ridge has cool, clear winter mornings, which is when a heater with a tired connection starts to smell or lose its flame.

Families and backyards

At the last census 80.3 per cent of homes were separate houses and 39.2 per cent had four or more bedrooms, which suits outdoor BBQ points and deck heaters.

Jobs That Belong to Another Trade

When we're not the right call: gas escaping from the meter, or from the distributor's pipe under the footpath, is fixed by the network's own crews, so their emergency line comes first. We look after the pipework from the meter's outlet through to your appliances.

Gas Fitting Questions From This Run

Do you install gas points for BBQs and heaters in Whitebridge backyards?

Yes. A new bayonet point or a dedicated heater line out to a deck is standard gas fitting, priced with the trench, the pipe and the pressure test included. On older houses the existing line is checked first to make sure it can carry the extra appliance.

Is a gas hot water system a plumbing job or a gas job?

Both, which is why one team handles it. A storage or continuous-flow gas unit needs a licensed gas fitter for the line and the commissioning, plus plumbing for the water side. Our hot water section compares each system type for houses around Whitebridge.

What should I do if I notice a gas smell inside my Whitebridge home?

Leave the house with everyone in it, and flick nothing on or off as you go. Once you are outside, ring the gas network's emergency number, then call us on (02) 4915 2998 to trace and repair the fault after the supply is made safe. Our gas leak page lists each step.

Do you charge a call-out fee for gas work?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). A licensed gas fitter checks the appliance or the line and names a fixed figure, which you approve before any work starts. Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work.
