Gas appliances bring comfort and efficiency into our homes, offering warmth, hot meals, and hot water at our convenience. However, ensuring these appliances are correctly installed and maintained is paramount to your safety and their optimal operation. Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas is your go-to expert for new gas installations, califont conversions, electric to gas conversions, and repairs or replacements of gas hobs, heaters, free-standing cookers, fireplaces, and gas hot water cylinders. Here, we explore key instances when the expertise of a certified gas fitter is indispensable.

Installation of New Gas Appliances

Whether it's a gas stove, fireplace, or water heater, the installation of these appliances is not a DIY job. In New Zealand, it is illegal for anyone other than a certified gas fitter to install or modify gas appliances. This regulation ensures the safety and compliance of the installation with local codes and standards. Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas provides expert installation services, ensuring that your new appliance is safely connected and ready to use.

Gas Appliance Certification

Once your new gas appliance is installed, it's crucial to know it's safe. A certified gas fitter from Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas will thoroughly test the appliance and issue a gas safety certificate. This document is your assurance that the appliance has been professionally installed and tested according to stringent safety standards.

Qualifications of Your Gas Fitter

When it comes to gas fitting, not just any technician will do. It's vital to ensure that the professional handling your gas appliances is fully certified. All reputable gas fitters, including those from Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, carry a certification card to verify their qualifications. Always ask to see this card before any work begins.

Renovations and Appliance Upgrades

Planning to renovate your kitchen or upgrade your gas hob? These changes require the expertise of a certified gas fitter to ensure that the modifications are safely and correctly carried out. Whether it's a minor upgrade or a significant kitchen remodel, Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas can handle all your gas fitting needs.

Maintenance and Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and safe operation of gas appliances. For example, gas fires should be serviced every two years. While gas hobs and infinity gas hot water systems may not require regular servicing, any issues should prompt a call to a professional. Likewise, BBQs and patio heaters need occasional checks to ensure safe operation. At Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, we're here to help with all your maintenance and servicing needs, ensuring your gas appliances run smoothly and safely.

Gas Bottle Safety

Gas bottles are a common fuel source for many appliances. Ensuring their safety involves regular checks by your gas bottle provider or the technician refilling your BBQ gas bottles. Maintenance needs or potential hazards identified during these checks should be addressed promptly to ensure your safety.
