Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Services in Sydney

Yes. In NSW, all gas appliance installations must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter. DIY installation is illegal, dangerous, and can void your home insurance and appliance warranty.
2. What should I do if I smell gas in my Sydney home?
Turn off the gas supply at the meter immediately. Open doors and windows. Do NOT operate electrical switches, light matches, or use phones near the area. Evacuate and call us on 0468 070 296 from outside the property.

A standard gas bayonet installation typically costs $250–$450, including the gas line connection, isolation valve, and compliance certificate. The exact price depends on the distance from the existing gas line. We provide upfront fixed pricing before starting any work.
