Gas Fitters Vs Plumbers

A gas fitter and a plumber are not one in the same. A qualified gas fitter can not carry out plumbing works but a licensed plumber has trained with qualifications and practices in the use and installation of natural gas, bottled gas and gas fittings requirements.


Our licensed plumbers are also expert gas plumbers. You'll get the best of both worlds. Plumbing and gas all in one. This means we can cover all manner of gas installations, especially when dealing with a hot water system. Our licensed plumbers will be able to connect gas and water, ensuring your hot water heating system is installed with one company. Making the process a more cost-effective exercise.

Gas Fitting Services For Your Gas Appliances

Gas appliances can range from stovetop cooking appliances, outdoor appliances, room gas heating or hot water systems. Gas professionals will help to ensure your new gas appliances are installed correctly, safely and efficiently.


Gas plumbing is a fine balancing act of volume and pressure. Your gas plumbers will be required to test and achieve the correct amount of gas supply for each particular gas appliance. Testing the gas supply pressure from your mains and then testing and achieving the correct gas pressure for your appliance is how you efficiently install and run your new gas hot water systems, gas heating or cooking appliances.


A fully licensed gas fitter can achieve all this. Our gas fitting plumber has the skillset, tools and equipment to successfully install your new gas appliances, whatever they might be.


The Importance Of General Maintenance With A Licensed Gas Fitter

Gas appliances require attention. Regular attention that is. From your hot water heater to your room heater to the supply pressure of your gas line. Excellent service means addressing your supply pressure and your gas appliance.


The safest act you can take is to enlist the assistance of a gas fitter on a regular basis to service and test your appliances to address your gas plumbing needs before there is an emergency situation.


A regular service will include a general inspection, clean and test. As well as testing your main gas pressure line. Our gas fitter will be able to identify if there is an underlying fault and if repairs may need to be carried out... or our gas fitter might discover why your appliance isn't working efficiently, which can be dangerous, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.
