Gas Fitting

Gas Fitting Services

Here at Metropolitan Plumbing, our job involves a lot more skills than just water-based plumbing. We are fully trained and qualified gas fitters as well. Whether you need gas appliances installed or serviced, Metropolitan Plumbing has gas fitters here for you.

Found a gas leak and need urgent help? Here at Metropolitan, we also cover emergency gas services. These cover a broad spectrum of new appliances and fixtures, such as:

• Gas appliance installation and connection (e.g. gas stoves/cook tops)
• BBQ installation and natural gas conversion
• Gas heating installation and maintenance
• Gas hot water system installation, maintenance and repair
• Gas leak detection and repair
• Carbon monoxide testing

Gas appliances come in various types, each varying in size and operating pressure. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach to installation makes no sense. Whether you’re looking for a new installation or a replacement, our gas fitters will ensure that all fittings, gas hoses, pipes and every connection are secure and properly assessed to ensure total safety.

Gas Commissioning

The gas fitters (and plumbers with gas fitting endorsement) at Metropolitan Plumbing provide essential commissioning services for any installations. But commissioning is not just for new installations; it’s also mandatory for the following:

• Gas appliance replacements and relocations.
• Conversions between natural gas and LPG appliances.
• Reconnecting the supply after a previous disconnection or capping off.
• Any gas work that involves alterations to pipework, regulators, injectors and other key parts.

You’ll also need recommissioning following any gas services that involve touching any combustion settings, gas train components, ventilation or the flue.

For any gas fitting services you need, including commissioning and recommissioning, make the gas fitters at Metropolitan Plumbing your first port of call.

What Does Commissioning Involve?

Commissioning or recommissioning ensures your appliance complies fully with Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601.1 (Gas Installations). It also guarantees the appliance and main gas line are safe and capable of performing at their best.

The process involves leak and tightness tests, inlet and burner-pressure checks, combustion and CO testing, ventilation and negative-pressure checks, and verification of safety controls before we hand access to the appliance (figuratively) back to you.

All of our gas plumbers will commission every gas appliance they install and issue a Certificate of Compliance (or the equivalent in your city). That way, you can rest easy knowing your new appliance works perfectly and is safe to use.

At Metropolitan Plumbing, we understand some things can’t wait. That’s why our plumbers and gas fitters are available 24/7* to help you. If you need us, we can have a Metropolitan gas fitter at your door within an hour* of your call. This is especially important if you ever find a gas leak in your home and need urgent assistance.

On top of this, you can have one of our gas fitters at your door any day, any length of time and we’ll never charge you extra. Whether you need help with your gas hot water or gas appliance installation, we have gas fitters available 24/7* to help. Saturday morning or late Thursday night, we’ll never charge you more for after-hours or weekends. And yes, this includes public holidays.

Why Gas Fitting Is NOT A DIY Job

Make no mistake. Gas work of any kind – installation, maintenance, repairs or commissioning – is not a DIY job. In Australia, it’s against the law for an unlicensed person to carry out gas work, and the penalties are quite significant for anyone caught doing the wrong thing.

An unlicensed gas fitter who installs or commissions your gas appliance will not be able to issue you a Certificate of Compliance (or the equivalent in your state or territory).

Not having one of these could void your appliance warranty, potentially breach your home and contents insurance policy, and pose a health and safety risk to your home and loved ones.
