Gas line checks and inspections
Your gas lines and appliances should be safe, and the way to be sure is a professional check by a licensed gas fitter. A gas line check inspects and pressure-tests your gas pipework and appliances for leaks, corrosion and faults, and checks your appliances are burning safely, catching problems before they become dangerous. Gas is a safe, efficient fuel when the system is sound, but a leak or a faulty appliance can cause fire, explosion or carbon monoxide, so periodic checks matter for your safety. Our licensed gas fitters check gas lines and appliances, provide a report, and certify any work, across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.
Why check your gas lines
Gas lines and appliances are checked for safety, because the risks of a gas problem are serious. A gas leak is flammable and dangerous to breathe, and a faulty gas appliance can produce carbon monoxide, an invisible, odourless, potentially deadly gas. Gas pipes can corrode and develop leaks over time, joints and fittings can fail, and appliances can develop combustion problems, often without obvious signs. A regular check catches these before they become dangerous, giving you peace of mind that your gas is safe. Just as you would not ignore your home’s electrical safety, checking your gas lines and appliances periodically is a sensible, important part of keeping your home safe.
When to get a gas check
A gas line check is worthwhile in several situations:
- Buying or renting a home, to confirm the gas is safe before you move in
- After noticing a gas smell or suspecting a leak
- After an unexplained high gas bill, which can indicate a leak
- After any DIY or suspect gas work in the home
- Before using gas after a long period unused
- As periodic maintenance, especially in older homes
Any time you are unsure about the safety of your gas, or taking on a new property, a check by a licensed gas fitter gives you certainty. We carry out gas checks for all these situations.
How we check gas lines
Our licensed gas fitters check your gas lines using proper equipment and methods. We carry out a pressure test, isolating the gas system and checking whether it holds pressure, which confirms whether there is a leak anywhere in the pipework. We use electronic gas leak detectors to pinpoint any leaks at pipes, joints, fittings and appliances. We inspect the pipework for corrosion, damage and poor or non-compliant work. And we check the appliances for safe combustion and operation. This thorough approach means we find leaks and faults you could not detect yourself, so your gas is genuinely verified as safe, not just assumed. We then report what we find and recommend any action needed.
Finding gas leaks
The main thing a gas line check looks for is leaks, which can occur at pipes, joints, fittings, and appliance connections, and can develop slowly over time from corrosion, movement or ageing. A small leak may have only a faint smell, or none that you notice, which is why electronic detection and pressure testing are so important, they find leaks you cannot. Even a small leak wastes gas (showing on your bill) and is a safety risk that can worsen. If we find a leak, we can repair it, make your gas safe, and test and certify the repair. Finding and fixing leaks is the core of a gas check, and the key to keeping your gas safe.
Checking your gas appliances
A gas check covers your appliances as well as the pipework, because a faulty gas appliance can leak, burn unsafely, or produce carbon monoxide. We check gas stoves, cooktops, ovens, hot water units, heaters and other gas appliances for leaks at their connections, correct combustion, and safe operation. A key sign we look for is the flame colour, a crisp blue flame means clean, complete combustion, while a yellow or orange flame can indicate incomplete combustion and a carbon monoxide risk. Checking the appliances, not just the pipes, is important because they are a common source of gas safety problems. We ensure your gas appliances are burning safely as part of the check.
Carbon monoxide risk
A particular danger a gas check guards against is carbon monoxide (CO), a colourless, odourless gas produced when a gas appliance burns incompletely, which can be deadly and, unlike a gas leak, cannot be smelled. Warning signs include a yellow rather than blue flame, soot or staining around an appliance, excessive condensation, and family members feeling unwell with headaches or flu-like symptoms that improve when they leave home. As part of a gas check, we assess your appliances for safe combustion and CO risk, and can advise on CO alarms, which are an important safeguard. Checking for carbon monoxide risk is a vital part of gas safety, protecting your family from this invisible hazard.
Gas checks for home buyers
Buying a home is one of the best times to have the gas lines and appliances checked, so you know the gas is safe before you move in, and are not inheriting a leak, a corroded line, or an unsafe appliance that the previous owner may not even have known about. A pre-purchase gas check, often alongside a drain inspection and other checks, gives you confidence in the property and lets you address any gas issues before they are your problem. For a relatively small cost, it provides peace of mind on an important safety aspect of your new home. We carry out pre-purchase gas checks and provide a clear report, so you know exactly what you are taking on.
Gas checks for landlords and rentals
Landlords have a duty of care to provide safe gas installations and appliances for their tenants, and in many areas there are specific requirements for gas safety checks in rental properties at set intervals. A gas check confirms the gas lines and appliances are safe, meets the landlord’s obligations, and provides documentation. Beyond compliance, ensuring tenants are not exposed to gas leaks or carbon monoxide is simply the right thing to do. We carry out gas safety checks for rental properties, providing the report and certification landlords and property managers need, so you can meet your obligations and keep your tenants safe. We can check one property or arrange regular checks across a portfolio.
The report and certificate
After a gas check, we provide a clear report on the condition and safety of your gas lines and appliances, detailing what we found and any issues or recommendations. If we carry out any gas work as a result, such as repairing a leak or an appliance, we provide a gas compliance certificate for that work, your proof it was done safely and to the standard by a licensed gas fitter. This documentation is important, for your records, for landlords meeting their obligations, for home buyers, and for keeping appliance warranties and insurance valid. You get not just the check, but the paperwork that proves your gas has been professionally assessed and any work properly certified.
What if we find a problem?
If a gas check finds a problem, a leak, a corroded or damaged line, or an unsafe appliance, we can address it. Where possible, we repair it on the spot, make your gas safe, and test and certify the repair. Where a problem means an appliance or section of pipework needs replacing, we will explain it clearly and quote the work. If a serious safety issue is found, we make the gas safe, isolating the affected part if necessary, so you are not left with a hazard. Because our gas fitters are licensed, we can both find the problem and fix it, so a gas check leads straight to your gas being made safe, not just a list of issues.
How much does it cost?
The cost of a gas line check depends on the scope, the number of appliances, and the size of the gas system. A standard check of the gas lines and appliances is an affordable, worthwhile investment in your safety. We give you an upfront fixed price before we start, so you know the cost of the check. If we find a problem that needs repair, we will explain it and quote the work separately and clearly, so you are in control of what you spend. Given the serious risks a gas leak or faulty appliance poses, and the peace of mind a check provides, it is money well spent on your home’s safety.
