Gas Is the Preferred Energy Source for Most Australians

Gas is freely and readily available, making it the preferred energy source for most Australians. There is little doubt about the benefits of gas in the home as a reliable form of heating. However, you must hire a reputable contractor to install your gas components. We have the knowledge and skills to ensure that the entire gas system operates efficiently. Furthermore, we inspect the gas line for corrosion, dents or any breaches that might cause complications later.


Upon inspecting your system, a highly trained and experienced gas fitter diagnoses faults and provides an accurate report. The correct information is critical to maintaining the condition of your gas components and addressing any pressing issues.


When you hire a reputable gas fitter, you get more than you may expect. For example, if you require gas oven repairs, we inspect any repairs to ensure they work correctly. In addition, we advise you on steps to take to deal with simple gas problems.

Get the Most From Your Gas Appliances

You should use the time you have a professional gas fitter in your home to pick their brain and learn more about gas appliances and how to react in an emergency. Furthermore, you can establish a genuine relationship with a licenced contractor, so you have a contact available whenever something is wrong with your gas system. 


When you have invested in a gas appliance installation, it is up to you to maintain the various components and get the most from your appliances. We recommend that you hire a gas fitter to inspect your devices regularly. More often than not, the manufacturer’s manual provides details about the service intervals. 


Generally, a yearly inspection is an unwritten rule to maintain your gas appliances properly. The law states that only a licenced gas fitter may carry out the service regardless of whether it is a hot water system, stove or oven. The professional will replace any faulty components during the service to ensure it is safe to use.

When to Call Gas Heater and Gas Stove Installers

Regarding your gas stove and oven, you can inspect the oven door to ensure it does not lose heat while operating. Next, wipe away any spills after use, so it does not bake into the surface and become difficult to remove. Besides being unsightly, these spills are a health hazard and can trigger a fire. Finally, inspect the bulbs inside the cooker to check if they work every time you use the oven.


If you have installed a gas heater, check for a soot build-up. When the heater is running, touch the surrounding walls to determine if there is heat damage. Another indication is if the walls discolour due to the heat. If any residents complain of eye irritation or can smell gas, it is time to call in a professional. Furthermore, when you light the gas heater, and the pilot light disappears often, you need the assistance of a gas fitter.


When acquiring gas appliances, we advise customers to ensure they carry the Australian Gas Association certification badge. This assurance gives you peace of mind that the devices have passed the quality test and are built to the highest standards.

Frequently

Asked Questions

If you have any questions regarding our gas appliance services, consult our frequently asked questions below or contact our friendly team at 07 4728 8804

  • What are the signs of a gas leak?

    Typically, when a gas leak is present, the signs are relatively obvious. If you identify any of these signs, it is important to contact an expert as soon as possible. 


    The signs of a gas leak typically include: 

    • Smell of sulphur or rotten eggs
    • Dead or dying house plants (for no apparent reason) 
    • A hissing or whistling sound
    • A damaged gas pipe
    • Increased gas bill 
    • White cloud and/or mist 
    • Bubbles in water 

  • What are the benefits of a gas heating system?

    Natural gas is a dependable heating source that (compared to coal and oil) is an increasingly popular clean energy source that produces low carbon emissions. Additionally, a gas heating system can heat the home faster than an electric heating system. 


    Not just this, but a gas heating system is typically more cost-effective and reliable than that of electricity, so it is unperturbed by that of electricity blackouts caused by external weather conditions.

  • How often should my gas stovetop be serviced?

    To ensure both safety and optimal functionality, it is important to have your gas appliances serviced or at least inspected once a year, especially for items including your oven and stovetop that are used more frequently than other gas systems. 


    Lucky for you, not only are we gas stove installers, but we also complete regular services and maintenance jobs. So regardless of what you need, Convenient Plumbing Services are your guys!
