When it comes to gas systems in your home or business, there is no room for compromise. Whether you're installing a new appliance, switching from electric to gas, or ensuring existing systems are operating safely, a qualified gas fitter plays a crucial role. At Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas, we pride ourselves on delivering expert gasfitting services with a focus on safety, professionalism, and efficiency.

Here’s what you should expect when hiring a certified gas fitter – and why our team in Mount Maunganui stands out.

1. Competency and Qualifications

Certified Professionals

A qualified gas fitter must hold certification from the relevant licensing authority—in New Zealand, this is the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board (PGDB). Our team meets all licensing requirements, ensuring we’re equipped with the technical knowledge and legal authority to carry out all forms of gasfitting.

Specialist Knowledge

Gas fitting is a highly specialised trade. From understanding different fuel types (LPG and natural gas) to knowing the intricate details of installation standards and regulatory codes, a skilled gas fitter brings not only training but also deep, practical experience.

Broad Experience

From installing new califonts to repairing hobs, fireplaces, or hot water cylinders, our gas fitters at Mount Maunganui Plumbing & Gas have seen it all. No matter the scope of your project, we’ll provide a solution that’s safe, effective, and futureproof.

2. Prioritising Safety at Every Step

Gas Safety First

Working with gas demands extreme care. All gas installations and repairs must be performed with strict adherence to safety procedures. Our gas fitters take every precaution to prevent leaks, fire risks, or carbon monoxide hazards.

Leak Detection and Response

One of the most critical aspects of gasfitting is identifying and rectifying gas leaks. We use the latest technology to detect issues and act swiftly to safeguard your household or business.

Testing and Certification

Once the work is complete, we thoroughly test your gas system to ensure compliance with New Zealand safety standards. You’ll receive proper documentation certifying that your appliances are operating safely and correctly.

3. Professionalism You Can Rely On

4. Gasfitting Expertise You Can Trust

New Installations and Conversions

Thinking about making the switch from electricity to gas? Whether for cost savings or performance, we can install LPG or natural gas appliances and convert your existing systems, such as from electric water heating to gas califonts.
