Licensed Gas Fitters Gold Coast
Professional gas fitting services including installations, repairs, gas leaks, hot water systems, cooktops, ovens and compliance certification across the Gold Coast.
What Does A Gas Fitter Do?
A licensed gas fitter installs, repairs, tests and certifies gas appliances, gas pipework and gas systems. Gas fitting work must be carried out by a licensed professional to ensure safety, compliance and correct operation.
From installing a new gas cooktop to running gas lines for an outdoor kitchen, a gas fitter handles all aspects of residential and commercial gas infrastructure. Their responsibilities include:
- Gas appliance installation: Safely connecting ovens, cooktops, heaters, and hot water systems.
- Gas pipework: Installing, extending, or repairing gas lines throughout your property.
- Gas leak repairs: Detecting and fixing dangerous gas leaks promptly.
- Gas testing: Ensuring your entire gas system is operating at the correct pressure without leaks.
- Compliance certification: Issuing certificates to prove work meets stringent safety standards.
- Safety inspections: Assessing existing gas installations for potential hazards.
Why You Need A Licensed Gas Fitter
Gas is highly combustible and inherently dangerous if not handled correctly. That's why Queensland regulations strictly mandate that all gas work—no matter how minor—must be performed by a fully licensed gas fitter.
Safety requirements: A licensed professional understands ventilation requirements, pressure regulation, and leak prevention. Incorrect installation can lead to gas leaks, fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Compliance obligations: When you sell your home or make an insurance claim, you may be required to prove that gas appliances were installed by a licensed tradesperson. Without a compliance certificate, your home insurance could be voided in the event of a fire.
Risks of unlicensed work: DIY gas fitting is not only illegal but incredibly risky. Always ask to see a gas fitter's license before they commence work on your property.

Gas Cooktop Installation
Upgrading your kitchen with a new gas cooktop requires precision and safety. We handle new installations, replacements of existing units, and even conversions from LPG to Natural Gas (or vice versa) if the appliance supports it.
Our process includes ensuring proper ventilation clearances, installing the correct regulators, connecting the appliance safely, and conducting thorough leak tests before issuing your compliance certificate.
Gas Oven Installation
Whether you've purchased a freestanding dual-fuel cooker or a built-in gas wall oven, our team can install it safely. Gas ovens require specific clearances and secure connections to prevent leaks and ensure proper combustion.
We'll disconnect and remove your old appliance, install the new one, test all burners and the oven function, and ensure the entire setup meets current safety standards.
Gas Leak Detection & Repairs
A gas leak is a serious emergency that requires immediate professional attention. Even a small leak can build up over time, creating a severe fire or explosion hazard.
Our gas fitters use specialized electronic gas detection equipment and pressure testing methods to pinpoint the exact location of a leak, even if it's hidden behind walls or underground. Common signs of a gas leak include:
- A distinct "rotten egg" or sulfur smell.
- Hissing sounds near gas appliances or pipework.
- An unexplained spike in your gas bill.
- Dead or dying vegetation near an underground gas line.
- Pilot lights that constantly blow out.
What To Do If You Smell Gas
- Turn off the gas supply: Locate your gas meter or LPG cylinders and turn the valve to the OFF position.
- Ventilate the area: Open all doors and windows to allow the gas to dissipate.
- Avoid ignition sources: Do not light matches, smoke, or operate electrical switches (including lights and phones) in the area.
- Evacuate: If the smell is strong, leave the property immediately.
- Call a professional: Contact Todd's Plumbing & Electrical from a safe distance for emergency gas leak repairs.
LPG Gas Fitting
For properties without access to mains gas, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) cylinders are the perfect solution. We specialize in residential LPG installations, including setting up dual-cylinder systems with automatic changeover valves.
We ensure cylinders are located safely away from ignition sources, drains, and openings into buildings, strictly adhering to safety regulations. We also connect your appliances and ensure they are jetted correctly for LPG use.
Natural Gas Fitting
If your street has a natural gas main, connecting to it provides a continuous, reliable energy source without the need to order replacement cylinders.
We handle natural gas appliance installations, gas line extensions for new appliances, and complete home connections. We ensure your gas meter is correctly sized and that your internal pipework can handle the load of all your natural gas appliances.
Gas Line & Bayonet Installation
Expanding your home's gas capabilities? We install new gas lines and extensions for renovations, outdoor kitchens, and appliance upgrades.
Gas Bayonets: A gas bayonet point provides a safe, quick-connect fitting for portable gas appliances. They are incredibly popular for:
- Indoor Heating: Connect a portable gas room heater during winter and easily store it away in summer.
- Outdoor Entertaining: Install a bayonet on your patio for your BBQ or outdoor heater, eliminating the need to constantly swap heavy LPG bottles.
We ensure all bayonets are installed safely with appropriate ventilation and clearances.
Gas Compliance Certificates
A Gas Compliance Certificate is a legal document issued by a licensed gas fitter stating that the gas installation complies with all relevant safety standards and regulations.
When are they required?
- Whenever a new gas appliance is installed.
- When new gas pipework is installed or altered.
- When a property is connected to gas for the first time.
- Often required when selling a property or for insurance purposes.
Our gas fitters perform rigorous testing, including pressure drop tests, to ensure the entire system is sound before issuing your certificate, giving you complete peace of mind.
Gas Fitting For Renovations
If you're renovating your kitchen, laundry, or outdoor area, proper gas planning is essential. We work closely with homeowners and builders to ensure gas lines are correctly positioned and sized for your new layout.
From relocating a gas line for a new island bench cooktop to designing the gas supply for a comprehensive outdoor kitchen, our team ensures the plumbing infrastructure supports your renovation goals seamlessly. We can handle both the plumbing and electrical work required for modern kitchen renovations.
How Much Does Gas Fitting Cost?
The cost of gas fitting varies depending on the specific job. Factors influencing the cost include:
- Type of work: A simple appliance swap is less expensive than running a new gas line.
- Pipework length: The distance from the gas meter or cylinders to the appliance.
- Complexity: Access under floors, in roof spaces, or trenching requirements.
- Compliance: Required safety testing and certification.
We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific needs, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
