Gas Fitting and Gas Leak FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas?
If it is safe to do so, turn off the gas at the meter, open windows and doors to increase ventilation
and avoid using open flames, electrical switches or devices that could cause sparks. Leave the area and
contact your gas supplier or a licensed gas fitter for urgent advice and assistance.
Can any plumber do gas work?
Only tradespeople who hold the appropriate gas fitting licence for your state or territory are allowed
to carry out gas installation and repair work. When you post a job, you can ask tradies to confirm their
gas licence details and check these against local licensing records if needed.
Do new gas appliances need to be commissioned?
Yes. Gas appliances must be installed, tested and adjusted to suit the gas type and supply pressure at your
property. A licensed gas fitter will commission the appliance, check for leaks and confirm safe operation
before providing any required documentation.
What information should I include when posting a gas fitting job?
Include whether you can smell gas, any visible signs such as dead plants near pipes, the type and brand
of any appliances, photos of the meter and existing connections, and whether access is inside, outside
or in a confined space. The more detail you provide, the easier it is for gas fitters to assess the job.
