Gas Fitting in Clovelly

Yes, provided there's gas to the property or a new connection can be arranged. Many of Clovelly's interwar and post-war bungalows were built with gas for cooking and hot water, so adding appliances to an existing gas supply is usually straightforward. We check the meter capacity, run the gas line to the new appliance location, install, pressure-test, and provide the compliance certificate. For homes without an existing gas connection, we coordinate with the gas distributor for a new meter and supply line.

For Clovelly homes, continuous-flow gas is usually the strongest option. It's compact (wall-mounted, no tank footprint), provides endless hot water, and avoids the standing heat losses of a storage tank that costs more to run in a coastal environment where corrosion eats anodes faster. The main consideration on steep Clovelly blocks is flue clearance - the unit needs adequate ventilation and distance from boundaries. We assess the available mounting locations during the on-site quote and recommend the right size based on your home's hot water demand.
