Understanding Gas Fitting Services
Gas fitting covers all work involving the installation, repair, and connection of gas systems, from your meter or LPG cylinders through to your appliances.
In NSW, it is illegal to perform gas work without a licence, with significant fines and serious safety risks. As Wollongong homeowners, this isn’t something to cut corners on, poor gas work can lead to fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
That’s why we follow
AS/NZS 5601.1:2022 standards on every job and issue a Certificate of Compliance, giving you peace of mind that your gas system is safe and legally compliant.
Natural
Gas vs LPG
Systems
In Wollongong, homes typically run on either:
- Natural Gas (mains supply) – Common in urban areas, connected via Jemena’s gas network
- LPG (bottled or tank gas) – Used in areas without mains gas access
We work with both systems every day.
For natural gas homes, we install and maintain all gas piping from the meter to your appliances. For LPG systems, we ensure:
- Correct cylinder placement
- Safe ventilation
- Compliance with Australian standards
- Proper regulator and connection setup
If you’re renovating or upgrading, we can also help you switch between LPG and natural gas systems.
Licensing and Safety Requirements
At WillPlumb Plumbing Services, all our gas fitters are fully licensed in NSW and trained to current standards, including the latest compliance updates.
Every gas job we complete includes:
- Licensed workmanship
- Full pressure and leak testing
- Appliance safety checks
- Compliance with AS/NZS standards
- Issued Certificate of Compliance
This isn’t just paperwork, it’s essential for insurance, property sales, and your family’s safety.
