What to ask a gasfitter to quote
Describe the appliance model, supply type, location and whether a new connection, alteration or repair is needed. Do not attempt gas pipework yourself. Ask what inspection, parts, testing and certificates or compliance records the quote covers.
NSW Fair Trading says gas repairs and renovations require a licensed gasfitter. Check the applicable licence and paperwork requirements in your own state or territory. A Yamate category match does not verify a licence.
A suspected gas leak comes first
If you smell gas, leave the area, keep others away and avoid flames and electrical switches. Contact the distributor emergency number on your gas bill or emergency services where there is immediate danger. Follow your local authority’s instructions.
Once the hazard is resolved, you can use the listings for planned follow-up work. Select businesses only after confirming that they take the specific job and hold the required credentials.
Good questions. Plain answers.
Is a gas plumber the same as a gasfitter?
Gasfitting is regulated work. Check that the person doing the work has the current authorisation required in your jurisdiction.
Can I send a quote request for a gas leak?
Use the emergency route first. Online enquiries do not arrange immediate attendance or make a leaking site safe.
What should a quote include?
Ask for inspection, parts, labour, testing, compliance paperwork, exclusions and GST.
