Gas Fitting on the Sunshine Coast
Gas fitting, gas appliance installation and gas repairs for homes and businesses — the gas half of Woolfords Plumbing & Gas.
Plumbing and gas, one business
The name on the ute reads Woolfords Plumbing & Gas, and gas work has always been part of what the business does. That matters when a job crosses over — a gas hot water system, a new cooktop that needs both a gas line and a water connection, or a kitchen renovation where the two have to be planned together.
Gas is not a job for guesswork. If something smells, sounds or behaves wrong, stop using the appliance and call.
Gas fitting and installation
Running gas to where you need it: a new cooktop or oven, a gas hot water system, an outdoor kitchen or barbecue point, a gas heater, or a new gas point in a renovation or extension.
That covers the gas line itself, the isolation and connection points, and getting the appliance connected and working the way it should.
Gas appliance connection
- Cooktops, ovens and freestanding cookers
- Gas hot water systems, including continuous flow
- Gas heaters
- Barbecue and outdoor kitchen points
- Changeovers between natural gas and LPG appliances
If you are buying a new appliance, it is worth a quick call before you buy rather than after. What is already in the wall determines a fair bit about what fits and what it takes to install.
Gas repairs
Appliances that will not light, burners that will not hold a flame, pilot lights that keep going out, regulators and connections that have had enough — these are the everyday gas faults.
If you can smell gas, turn the appliance off, turn the gas off at the meter or bottle if it is safe to do so, open the windows, keep flames and ignition sources away and get outside. Then call.
Gas and hot water together
A large share of gas work is hot water work. Gas storage systems and continuous flow units both need the gas side and the water side done properly, and doing them together avoids the usual back-and-forth between two trades.
See hot water systems for more on repairs, replacements and new installations.
Gas for renovations and new builds
Where gas is going into a renovation or a new home, it is much easier to plan it at the same time as the plumbing rather than to retrofit it afterwards. Runs are shorter, walls only get opened once and the appliance ends up where you actually wanted it.
Common Questions
I can smell gas. What should I do?
Turn the appliance off, turn the gas off at the meter or bottle if it is safe to do so, open up the area, keep flames and ignition sources away and get outside. Then call 0412 107 022 to arrange for it to be looked at.
Can you connect a new cooktop or oven?
Yes. Gas appliance connection is standard work, including cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, heaters and outdoor barbecue points.
Can you do the plumbing and the gas on the same job?
Yes. Woolfords Plumbing & Gas covers both, which is useful on kitchen renovations, hot water changeovers and new builds where the two need to be planned together.
