- The hot water system isn’t recovering well
- Your gas heaters take a long-time to warm up.
What to Do in Gas Emergencies
While we know that a plumbing emergency can cause chaos in your home or business, a gas leak can be very dangerous. When experiencing a gas leak emergency, it can cause explosions or start a fire. One of the biggest dangers is to your health from carbon monoxide poisoning, which can happen continuously overtime if you’re unaware of a gas leak.
An emergency can stem from a broken pipe, burst connection, gas hot water system replacement and faulty appliances. If you are experiencing these issues or more, before you give our plumbers a call, we recommend the following:
- Turn off all appliances
- Turn off the gas meter
- Open your windows & doors
- Contact us, your fully licensed gas fitters Gold Coast.
There are several practices you must remember when experiencing a gas leak for yourself and other people’s safety:
- Do not use a naked flame or other ignition sources
- No electrical appliances or equipment should be used anywhere near the leak
- Do no use any light switches or flashlights because they may cause a spark
- No smoking, lighting matches or lighters in or around the property.

Gas Fitting FAQ’s
What's a gas compliance certificate, and why do I need one?
Gas compliance certificates acknowledge your gas appliances and gas has been fitted and installed by Gold Coast gas fitting services that comply with relevant standards. It ensures the gas to your property is safe. Within Australia, obtaining gas compliance certificates is a legal requirement.
We recommend getting your gas appliances and systems checked every three years to ensure the safety of your family. While regular checking isn’t a legal requirement, having a gas fitter regularly test it can identify issues before they become anything major.
Why do I need a licensed gas plumber for gas fitting and emergencies?
As mentioned above, any type of gas repair or installation requires work to be done with the utmost safety. If the work is completed by an unlicensed professional, the warranty is unlikely to be honoured, and the work can result in causing damage to yourself and your home.
Gas plumbers are the best people for the job because you not only get the expertise of a gas fitter for your installations but also someone with plumbing expertise who can repair your gas plumbing and regular plumbing concerns.
Is it easy to smell a natural gas leak?
Natural gas has no smell, making it impossible to recognise. A harmless chemical can been added to the gas that smells like sulphur or, more recognisably, rotten eggs. This alerts you to a problem and enables you to act fast if an issue arises.
