  • Soap-test on joints
  • Carbon monoxide measurement
  • Written report for insurance

FAQ

Common questions about gas plumbing in Ballarat.

Yes. The Plumbing Regulations 2018 require a Type A licensed gasfitter for almost all gas work, including connecting a new cooktop. DIY gas work voids your insurance and is a legal offence. We're Type A licensed and lodge a Certificate of Compliance with the VBA on every regulated job.
Cooktop or oven hook-up to an existing gas point: $180–$320. New gas point install: $400–$900 depending on run length. Hot water gas line upgrade: $300–$600 on top of the unit itself. Quote before we start, fixed price.
Leave the house first. Open windows on the way out. Don't switch any lights on or off. Don't use the phone inside. Call us from outside or a neighbour's place.
Yes — both natural gas and LPG. Cylinder install, changeover valves, regulator replacement, appliance connection — all Type A territory.
Depends on your usage and house setup. Gas is still cheaper to run for high-demand families. Heat pumps suit small-to-medium households with good insulation. We don't push either way — we'll cost both and let you decide.
