Gas Fitting in Maroubra

Gas conversion in Maroubra is a common job, especially in 1950s-70s homes that were built electric-only. The work involves checking whether gas is already at the property (if not, we coordinate with the gas distributor for a new connection), running a gas line from the meter to the cooktop location, installing the cooktop, and providing a compliance certificate. Some older homes need a meter upgrade if there's significant gas appliance demand, which we factor into the quote. We'll do an on-site assessment first to confirm what's needed and quote upfront. Standard timing is one day for the gas-fit work plus appliance install.

Rubber gas hoses must be replaced every 10 years by law in NSW, and we see plenty of homes in Maroubra where the original hoses on cooktops or outdoor BBQs have aged out well past that. Check the date stamp moulded into the hose. If it's older than 10 years, or if you can't find a date, it should be replaced. We carry compliant hoses and fittings in the van and can swap them on a normal callout. It's a small job but a worthwhile safety check, especially in older homes where the original gas fitting work might also benefit from a once-over.
