What Can We Connect?

Most things a household here runs on gas. The planned installs:

Cooktops and wall ovens

New or replacing an older unit whose pipe was sized for fewer burners

Freestanding BBQs and outdoor kitchens

With the line run out to the deck or patio

Pool heaters

Where the pipe out to the pump area is most of the job and hanging the heater is the easy part

Space heaters and fire inserts

Flued and joined to the existing line or a new one

Bayonet outlets

Letting a portable heater move room to room without a hose across a doorway

Every install ends the same way: a pressure test on the new pipe and a check of the flame before we pack up.

What Sets the Price of an Install?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

Distance from the gas meter shapes an install price more than the appliance does. The drivers:

Pipe length Since copper is laid by the metre and a kitchen at the far end of the house needs more of it
The old pipe's material and condition As joining new copper to tired pipework can add fittings and time
Penetrations Where the run has to pass through brick veneer, fibro, cladding or a deck frame
Coast-rated materials Which cost more than the basic option and keep their finish in the salt air

Older Settlement Kitchens and Newer Estate Homes

The older homes were piped for less

Fern Bay's first houses went up from the 1960s to the 1980s as brick veneer and fibro houses, alongside the relocatable homes of the Bayway village, at a time when one heater or a four-burner top was the whole gas load. Decades of onshore salt wind have worked on that copper and its brass joints, so we check what the old pipe can safely feed before a modern oven or a second appliance goes on it.

The newer estate gets the same checks

The newer estate beside Nelson Bay Road, laid out on land the military once used as a weapons range, went up quickly from the 2000s on. Rushed fit-offs and borderline fittings turn up in homes of that age, so a cooktop that came with the house is pressure tested just like one out of a retailer's box.

Outside runs are built for the coast

Sea air attacks exposed brass and mild steel here, so a line out to a BBQ or pool heater is laid in materials that stand up to it and fixed to the wall where the wind can't rattle it loose.

When We're Not the Right Call

Street supply trouble, or a problem at the gas meter itself, is for the gas distributor to sort out, not a gas fitter. A new power point beside the oven or wiring for an igniter needs an electrician. Our part is the pipework from the meter to the appliance and the connection at the end of it.

Questions People Ask About Gas Installs

Does a new oven need a bigger gas line in an older home?

Sometimes. A kitchen fitted out in the 1960s to 1980s may have been piped for a single small burner set, and a modern oven can ask for more gas than that pipe was sized to deliver. We work out the load first, and any upsizing is written into the price before anything starts.

Do I get a certificate for the gas work?

Yes. The finished line is pressure tested and you receive the compliance certificate for the gas work. File it with the appliance manual, since a future buyer or your agent may want to see it when the house changes hands.

Is a pool heater connection a bigger job in this salt air?

It can be. Fern Bay has salt air coming at it from the ocean and the estuary alike, so an outside run to the pool pump area is laid in materials rated for that exposure. The length of that run sets most of the price, and the figure is agreed before we start.

Will you install an appliance I bought myself?

Yes. A cooktop, oven or heater you bought from a retailer goes in like any other, with the same pressure test and paperwork at the end. If the model does not suit the spot or the supply, we explain why before a single fitting comes out of the bag.
