Signs something is wrong with your gas
Any of these is worth a call. If the smell is strong, leave the house first.
Smell or sound
A rotten-egg smell near an appliance, the meter or the gas line, or a hissing sound near a pipe or fitting.
Flames and marks
Burner flames that are yellow or orange instead of a steady blue, or soot and scorch marks around a heater or cooktop.
A jump in your bill
A gas bill that has jumped without any change in how you use it can mean gas is escaping.
Cooktops, heaters, hot water and BBQ points
Gas or electric?
Deciding between gas and electric for a new cooktop or hot water system? We talk you through the running costs and installation work for each, so you choose what suits your home, not what’s easiest for us to sell.
Outdoor gas points
Tired of swapping gas bottles? A bayonet point on the deck or patio lets you plug a BBQ or outdoor heater straight into mains gas. We plan the line, install the point and test everything.
Paperwork done
In NSW, gas work must be done by a licensed gas fitter and certified when it’s finished. You get the compliance paperwork with every job.
