Quick Answer
What is gas fitting?

Aussie Dave’s Plumbing carries out appliance installation and repair, leak detection, and hot water system gas connections across Sydney. Every job is completed to AS/NZS 5601 and finished with a Certificate of Compliance, confirming the work is safe and legal.
If you smell gas, leave the property immediately. Don’t use light switches or phones inside. Call us from a safe distance outside.
About Our Gas Fitting Service
Safe, licensed gas fitting for your home.
Gas work isn’t an area for shortcuts or DIY attempts. In NSW, only a licensed gas fitter can legally install, repair, or modify gas appliances and pipework. Working with an unlicensed tradesperson isn’t just risky—it can also void your home insurance and put your household in danger.
Complete gas fitting services.
Our gas fitting services include appliance installation and repair, gas leak detection, hot water system certification, and connections for outdoor BBQs and heaters. Whether you’re renovating, replacing a gas hot water system, or dealing with a suspected leak, our licensed gas fitters handle the job from start to finish.
Certified for your peace of mind.
Every completed job comes with a Certificate of Compliance, giving you proof the work was carried out safely and legally. This is especially important for insurance claims and when selling your property.
Built for Sydney homes.
From older homes with original gas pipework to newer homes with modern gas appliances, every property is different. We understand the unique requirements of Sydney homes and provide solutions that suit your existing system.
We assess before we recommend.
We carefully assess your existing pipework and appliances before recommending any work, so nothing is installed on top of an underlying issue.
Common emergency Problems
Know the signs, Act fast. Prevent bigger damage.
Gas issues tend to show clear warning signs, and recognising them early is a genuine safety matter. The table below sets out what to watch for, what’s likely causing it, and what happens if it’s left unaddressed.
A rotten-egg smell near a gas appliance or pipework.
Gas naturally has an odorant added specifically for leak detection.
Risk: A genuine fire, explosion, or health risk if the source isn’t found.
A pilot light that won't stay lit.
A faulty thermocouple or a restricted gas supply to the burner.
Risk: Continued appliance failure and a possible underlying safety issue.
Hissing sounds near gas pipework or an appliance.
A potential gas leak at a fitting, joint, or connection point.
Risk: An active leak that continues to worsen if left unaddressed.
Discoloured or sooty marks around a gas appliance.
Incomplete combustion, often linked to poor ventilation or a faulty burner.
Risk: Carbon monoxide risk from an appliance not burning gas properly.
A yellow or orange flame instead of blue.
Incorrect air-to-gas ratio, often caused by a burner issue.
Risk: Reduced appliance efficiency and a possible carbon monoxide risk.
Higher-than-expected gas bills with no change in usage.
A hidden leak somewhere in the gas supply line.
Risk: Continued gas loss and rising costs until the leak is found and fixed.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licensed gas fitter for all gas work?
Yes, all gas installation, repair, and modification work legally requires a licensed gas fitter in NSW. This isn’t optional, and unlicensed work can void your insurance. It’s also a genuine safety requirement, not just a legal formality.
What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave the property immediately and don’t use any light switches, phones, or electrical devices inside. Call us from a safe distance once you’re outside. A licensed gas fitter will attend urgently to assess and make the property safe.
How much does gas appliance installation cost in Sydney?
Cost depends on the appliance type, existing gas infrastructure, and any pipework changes needed. We’ll always confirm a fixed, upfront price once we’ve assessed the job. This avoids surprises once the work begins.
Can you install a gas cooktop in my kitchen renovation?
Yes, we install gas cooktops as part of kitchen renovations, including any required pipework relocation. We coordinate timing with your other renovation trades where needed. A Certificat
What is a Certificate of Compliance and why does it matter?
A Certificate of Compliance is formal proof that gas or water work was completed safely and legally. It’s important for insurance purposes and can affect a property sale if missing. We lodge one for every completed gas job.
Do you work with both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, we work across both natural gas and LPG installations and appliances. Each has slightly different requirements, which we account for during installation. We’ll confirm which applies to your property during the initial assessment.
How do I know if my gas appliance is unsafe?
Warning signs include a yellow or orange flame, sooty marks, or a pilot light that won’t stay lit. Any of these should be checked by a licensed gas fitter promptly. Don’t continue using an appliance showing these signs.
Can a gas leak cause carbon monoxide poisoning?
Yes, gas appliances that aren’t burning correctly can produce dangerous carbon monoxide, particularly with poor ventilation. This is a serious health risk that isn’t always obvious without testing. Regular servicing helps catch this before it becomes dangerous.
Do I need a permit for gas fitting work?
Compliant gas work is certified through a Certificate of Compliance rather than a separate council permit in most cases. We handle this documentation as part of every job. It’s worth keeping for insurance and resale purposes.
How often should gas appliances be serviced?
An annual service is generally recommended for gas heaters and hot water systems. This catches early signs of wear or incomplete combustion before they become a safety issue. Regular servicing also helps maintain manufacturer warranty conditions.
Can you install outdoor gas BBQs and heaters?
Yes, we install and connect outdoor gas BBQs, heaters, and similar appliances to a compliant standard. This includes running new gas lines where needed. All outdoor installations are certified the same as indoor work.
What happens during a gas safety check?
A gas safety check involves inspecting appliances, pipework, and connections for leaks, corrosion, or incorrect installation. We test flame colour, pilot light function, and pressure across the system. Any issues found are explained clearly with recommended next steps.
Is it dangerous to use a gas appliance installed by an unlicensed person?
Yes, unlicensed gas work carries a genuine risk of leaks, fire, or carbon monoxide exposure. It can also void your home insurance policy entirely. We recommend having any unlicensed work inspected and re-certified.
Can you disconnect gas appliances during a renovation?
Yes, we safely disconnect and cap gas appliances as part of renovation preparation work. This is an important step before demolition or removal begins. Reconnection is completed once the renovation reaches that stage.
How quickly can you respond to a suspected gas leak?
Suspected gas leaks are treated as a genuine priority and attended to urgently. Our team is available for emergency gas call-outs across Sydney. Always evacuate the property and call us from a safe distance first.
Do new gas hot water systems need a compliance certificate?
Yes, any new gas hot water system installation requires a Certificate of Compliance once completed. This confirms the installation meets AS/NZS 5601 requirements. We provide this as standard on every gas hot water installation.
What brands of gas appliances do you work with?
We work across all major gas appliance brands, including Rinnai, Rheem, Vulcan, Bosch, Everdure, and Braemar. This means our recommendation is based on your needs rather than one manufacturer’s product range. We’re happy to discuss specific brand options during your quote.
Can I convert my electric cooktop to gas?
Yes, converting to a gas cooktop is possible where a gas connection is available or can be run to the kitchen. We assess your existing infrastructure to determine what’s involved. A Certificate of Compliance is provided once the conversion is complete.
Do you provide gas fitting for commercial properties?
Yes, we carry out gas fitting work for commercial properties alongside residential jobs. This includes appliance installation, servicing, and compliance certification. Contact us to discuss your specific commercial requirements.
What's involved in relocating a gas meter?
Relocating a gas meter involves coordination with your gas network provider alongside the physical pipework changes. We manage this process and ensure the new location meets safety clearance requirements. Timeframes vary depending on network provider scheduling.
