OUR METHODOLOGY
Our gas services
Gas leak detection
A gas leak smells like rotten eggs or sulphur. Other signs include a yellow (rather than blue) flame, a hissing sound, an unusually high gas bill, or a dry patch of grass near the gas line. We locate the leak, make the area safe, and repair the faulty appliance or pipe.
Gas fitting
Our licensed gas fitters install, repair and replace gas appliances and lines — cooktops and ovens, gas heaters and fireplaces, hot water units, outdoor barbecues, and gas pipe runs. All work is done to current safety regulations.
Carbon monoxide testing
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, invisible gas that faulty appliances can produce — it can be fatal. Victorian standards require carbon monoxide testing on rental properties every two years, and we recommend all households test gas heaters and appliances on the same cycle.
Compliance & certificates
Every job meets Energy Safe Victoria requirements, and we supply a compliance certificate for gas alteration work where one is required. With gas, the right licence and a careful process aren’t optional — they’re what keeps your household safe.
