FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a gas leak?
Common signs of a gas leak include a strong sulphur-like smell (similar to rotten eggs), hissing sounds near gas lines or appliances, and higher-than-usual gas bills. You might also notice dizziness, headaches or nausea when indoors. If you suspect a leak, turn off your gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so) and leave the property immediately. Avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and contact a licensed gas fitter as soon as possible.
Can I install a gas appliance myself?
No — installing gas appliances is not a DIY task. Australian regulations require gas appliance installation and servicing to be carried out by a licensed gas fitter. This ensures the work complies with safety standards and local regulations, reducing the risk of leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Attempting to install an appliance yourself can void warranties and home insurance policies. Always check your tradesperson’s licence before starting any gas work.
How often should I have my gas system checked?
As a general guideline, it’s recommended to have your gas system professionally inspected every two years — or immediately if you notice any irregularities. Older systems, or properties with high gas usage, may require more frequent checks. Regular maintenance helps detect leaks early, ensures your appliances are operating efficiently, and keeps your home or business compliant with safety standards. Routine checks are especially important before selling a property or undertaking renovations.
