We provide rapid, compliance-certified gas services to homeowners in Mernda, Doreen, South Morang, Epping, and Eltham, ensuring your family is safe from leaks and faulty appliances.
Upgrading Your Kitchen or Alfresco? You Need a Licensed Gas Fitter.
Whether you are putting a chef’s oven into your South Morang family home or setting up an outdoor kitchen in Epping, working with gas requires precision and a license.
DIY gas work isn’t just illegal; it voids your home insurance. At Melbourne Gas & Air Conditioning Group, we are the trusted licensed gas fitters for the northern suburbs, ensuring your new appliances are installed safely and compliant with Victorian Building Authority (VBA) standards.
Our Gas Fitting Services
1. Gas Cooktop Installations
Switching from an old upright stove to a modern gas cooktop? We resize the gas piping to ensure you get the high pressure needed for wok burners.
- Local Tip: If you are considering moving away from gas entirely, check out our Induction Cooktop Installation services.
2. Gas Log Fires & Space Heaters
Nothing beats the ambiance of a gas log fire for an Eltham winter. We handle the full installation, including the flue (chimney) and the gas line extension.
- Important: We always issue a Compliance Certificate (COC) upon completion—essential if you ever sell your house.
3. Outdoor BBQ Bayonets
Stop swapping gas bottles halfway through a Sunday BBQ. We can extend your natural gas line to your alfresco area in Doreen, installing a safe, quick-connect bayonet point for your BBQ or patio heater.
The Compliance Certificate: Don’t Pay Without It
In Victoria, any work involving gas piping requires a Compliance Certificate from the VBA. This is your proof that the work was tested for leaks and pressure safety. Many “handyman” types will offer to install a stove cheap but cannot provide this certificate. Don’t risk it. As fully licensed plumbers, we provide this certification for every single job we do in Epping and South Morang.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I install my own gas cooktop? A: No. By law in Australia, only a licensed gas fitter can disconnect or reconnect gas appliances.
Q: How much does it cost to install a gas bayonet for a BBQ? A: It depends on the distance from your existing gas meter to the BBQ area. Since we are local to South Morang and Epping, we can pop over for a quick, free assessment to give you an exact price.
Q: My new gas oven needs an electrical outlet too. Can you do that? A: Yes! Because we are Dual Trade (Plumbing + Electrical), we can install the gas pipe and the power point for the electric ignition/timer in a single visit. No need to call a second tradie.
