BEST Gas Fitting Wollongong

Your Local Gas Fitters

If you are lucky enough to have gas running to your home or workplace, then you have the luxury of having the option to install gas appliances. Most people prefer the efficiency of gas and the fact that is it a more cost-effective option when it comes to heating. 

If your home is connected to gas from the street then you will have a supply of natural gas. Natural gas is a clean gas that is a cost-effective way to run your gas heating and gas appliances. To find out whether you have the option to run natural gas to your home, you can find out by visiting the Australian Gas Networks. If it is, then a licensed gas fitter will be able to connect your house from the street gas lines to your home and install a gas meter. You will then need a plumber to run gas lines from the meter throughout your home as needed.

If you do not have the option of the street gas supply to your house, then there is the option of having LPG gas bottles at your house, which can then be attached with a gas connection by licensed gas fitters. This is a more expensive process and you will need to get the LPG gas bottles regularly filled or replaced, however, if you prefer the use of a gas appliance and don't have gas running in your street then this may be a good gas service for you.

Gas Hot Water Systems

Gas water heaters work by using either natural gas or LPG which sends gas to supply to a flame that is continually burning, called a ‘pilot light’. The pilot light ignites a gas burner below a water storage tank which stores heated water, so it is ready to go when you need it.

Natural gas heating systems are the cheapest and most efficient way of heating your home. Gas water heaters are fast, reliable, and a lot more cost-effective. As with all household appliances, there are some issues that may arise that require gas repairs performed by experienced gas fitters.

Some potential problems you may find are;

• Fluctuation in water temperature
• Water doesn’t reach a high enough temperature
• Water pressure fluctuates or is lower than normal
• Your water bill has increased
• The pilot light going continually out
• Hot water tank is leaking
• No hot water

In the event that you have these issues, a gas plumber will need to repair or replace your hot water system. In most cases, if you have kept up to date with the servicing of your heater, you will extend the life of your system and avoid early replacement.

Any gas appliance you used in your home should be cleaned and checked regularly, so, the next time you have a qualified gas fitter in your home, get them to look at all your gas installations... It's always better to be safe than sorry!
