Despite the introduction of electric appliances, many of our modern appliances are still powered by gas. This includes hot water systems, ovens, cook tops, outdoor BBQs, and so much more.

Installing gas-powered appliances takes more than a simple connection to a gas line. Gas is highly flammable and even a small spark can cause a fire or explosion, which is why it’s crucial to ask a professional for assistance when installing, repairing, or servicing gas-powered appliances.

For more than 25 years, Dave Levey and the team from Newcastle Plumbing have been providing reliable gas fitting services throughout Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter, and beyond.

Committed to keeping local homes and businesses safe from harm, our gas fitting services are second to none and driven by our extensive knowledge in the field. We’ve built a reputation for our high-quality gas fitting services and competitive prices – no task is too big or too small for our team of gas fitters in Newcastle.

Our team of gas fitters in Newcastle offer a wide range of services to keep local home and business owners safe. From gas bayonet installation to cooktop repairs and gas leak detection, we’ll be there to provide reliable services and advice to ensure your appliances work safely and seamlessly.

Installation

The installation of gas-powered appliances can be a sensitive and dangerous job. Even the smallest spark can cause a gas fire, so it’s essential to get a professional to make the connections necessary to your gas line.

We offer installation for:

• Natural gas and LPG gas

• Cooktops, heaters, and ovens

Servicing

Even the strongest gas pipes require a service every now and then. Servicing can help prevent unnecessary gas leaks and identify when certain pipes or parts need replacing due to age or damage.

During a service, our team will identify any weak points in your piping, has heaters, cooktops, and ovens, then either repair or replace the damaged parts where necessary.

We will provide a quote in advance, too, so you can make an informed decision about how your gas-powered appliances will be repaired.

Our gas plumber’s FAQs

Because gas fitting is a dangerous and sensitive task, we often get a lot of questions about our gas fitting services. Rather than asking “Doctor Google” if you have a gas leak, we always recommend getting in touch with a professional plumber who can assist on the day – but for other non-urgent enquiries, here are some of our most common questions.

Why do I need a professional to install my heating & cooking appliances?

Gas is highly flammable. The smallest spark can cause a dangerous gas fire or explosion, whereas a gas leak can have a serious impact on your health. For this reason, it’s essential to have a professional plumber install your gas-powered appliances and ensure they are correctly linked to your home or business’s gas line.

Gas fitting, put simply, is not a DIY job.

Gas fitting takes years of training and experience to perfect. It can’t be done with a few Google searches or a “gung-ho” attitude. Even former gas fitters are better off calling a professional to complete the installation, as new techniques might be used for a safer and more efficient result.

How do I know if I have a gas leak?

As we mentioned above, if you think you can smell a gas leak in your home or business, do not delay in calling a professional plumber or gas fitter. Gas leaks can be very dangerous to your health and safety, so it’s better to go with your gut feeling and call an emergency plumber ASAP.

There are, however, some obvious signs of a gas leak you can keep an eye out for every day. These include:

The smell of sulphur or rotten eggs
A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line
A white cloud or dust cloud near a gas line
Bubbles in the water
A damaged gas pipe
Dead or dying house plants.

If you even suspect you might have a gas leak, please give us a call on (02) 4942 3300. Our gas plumbers in Newcastle will complete life-saving tests to ensure your home or business is safe.
