Gas Fitting Speers Point
Plumbers Speers Point runs new gas lines, swaps cooktops and heaters, adds barbecue bayonets and connects gas hot water systems, right across Speers Point and the adjoining suburbs. Every job gets pressure tested and certified before we leave.
What the gas work covers
Gas jobs come in a few standard shapes, and each one carries its own testing and paperwork.
New lines and extensions
Running gas from the meter to a cooktop, heater, hot water unit or outdoor bayonet, sized for the load and routed along the most practical path through the house.
Appliance installs
Cooktops, wall heaters and gas hot water systems connected and commissioned. The old appliance comes out, the new one goes in, and every joint gets proven before we leave.
Disconnections and cap-offs
Removing an appliance safely or capping a line during a renovation. A capped line stays safe and legal, and the cap gets done properly rather than taped and forgotten.
Leak checks and testing
Pressure testing the line, hunting a suspected leak and issuing the paperwork. All of it is licensed work, because an unlicensed gas connection is dangerous, full stop.
Gas work in a suburb of older homes
Homes around the lake foreshore went up across several eras, from fibro and weatherboard cottages through to post-war brick veneer. Much of that stock was built when gas was not always laid on.
Conversions, not just connections.
Old lines worth checking.
Newer infill too.
Signs something is wrong with the gas
Gas problems announce themselves if you know what to look for. Call straight away if you notice:
- A rotten egg or sulphur smell anywhere near an appliance or line
- Hissing near a connection, or a flame that burns yellow and lazy instead of blue
- Unexplained headaches or dizziness that ease when you leave the house
- Higher gas bills with no change in how you use the appliances
If you smell gas right now, open the windows, don't flip any switches and call us on (02) 4063 3446. A suspected leak is treated as urgent, and it sits alongside the other situations listed on the emergency plumbing page.

Conversion vs connection
The appliance itself

Gas fitting questions people ask
Is gas work something any plumber can do?
No. Gas fitting needs a separate gas work authorisation on top of the plumbing licence, so always ask any tradie that question before they touch a line at your place.
What are the warning signs of a gas leak?
A rotten egg smell is the obvious one. A yellow or flickering flame, sooting on an appliance and hissing near a connection all point at a problem too.
Do I get a compliance certificate after gas work?
Yes. Every install, alteration and new line gets a compliance certificate, which matters for your records and any future sale of the home. No paperwork, no finished job.
Can you add a bayonet point for a barbecue?
One of the most popular jobs on the books. The line runs from the meter, the bayonet goes in the wall where the barbecue lives, and it is tested in a visit.
Should I switch from an electric system to gas hot water?
It depends on what is at the property and how your household uses hot water. Gas units recover faster, and the hot water hub walks through the options before you decide.
How often should gas appliances be checked?
Heaters and hot water units benefit from a look every couple of years. Older homes with decades-old connections should get a line test before any new appliance joins the run.
