Can Plumbers Install Gas in My Home?
When you’re wondering who’s the best person to fit gas in your home, you may ask yourself can a plumber install gas fittings on the Sunshine Coast?
The answer is not obvious as plumbers are usually associated with things like drainage and water supply.
There is a crossover between the professions though, and many plumbers take special qualifications to allow them to work on gas appliances and to work on gas supply in homes and businesses.
It’s essential that the person fitting your gas appliance, or to help fit gas in your home, has the correct certification so you know they will carry out the task safely and create quality fittings.
Gas fitting explained
Gas fittings are the pipes and subsidiaries that carry LPG or natural gas through homes. They take the gas to a particular appliance or a gas container safely.
A gas fitter takes responsibility for the installation, repair and maintenance of gas appliances, and pipework in both commercial and residential properties.
If you have concerns about gas leaks or need a new appliance fitting, you can call on the services of either someone who just deals in gas or a plumber who has the correct certification from a body like the Queensland Gas Association
showing that they have the skills and knowledge to work with gas.
Are gas fitters just for emergencies?
Gas fitters are invaluable if you’re concerned about a gas leak or the condition of current gas fitting. You know that they are specialists in the field.
A plumber who is also a certified gas fitter can take care of a range of other tasks.
They can fit new hot water systems, install appliances like gas barbecues, cooktops, and stoves as well as offering advice on how to use gas appliances safely.
Why the correct certification is essential
The correct certification means the work carried out by your gas fitter is legal, safe and comes with a warranty.
A qualified gas fitter will carry out work safely, efficiently and to standards set out by a professional body.
Not only is it illegal for an unqualified person to carry out gas work on your home or commercial premises, but it is also putting property and people at risk.
