Gas hot plate installation
Gas hot plates, the gas cooktop burners you cook on, must be connected to your gas supply by a licensed gas fitter, because connecting gas incorrectly is dangerous, risking leaks, fire or carbon monoxide. We install and connect gas hot plates and cooktops, run a gas point where there is none, safely replace old hot plates, test the connection for leaks, and provide a gas compliance certificate proving the work is safe and legal. Many cooks prefer gas hot plates for their instant, responsive, controllable flame. Our gas fitters are fully licensed, so your gas hot plates are installed safely and compliantly across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price.
Why only a licensed gas fitter
Connecting gas hot plates is not a DIY or handyman job, by law it must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter, and for very good reason: a mistake can cause a gas leak, a fire or an explosion, or produce carbon monoxide. Unlicensed gas work is illegal, extremely dangerous, and voids your insurance and appliance warranty. A licensed gas fitter has the training, equipment and legal authority to connect the hot plates safely, test them for leaks, and issue the compliance certificate that proves the work meets the standard. Our gas fitters are fully licensed, so when we install your gas hot plates, it is done safely, legally and with proper certification, as the law and your safety require.
Installing a gas point for hot plates
To connect gas hot plates, there needs to be a gas point at the cooktop location, and if there is not one, we can install it. This involves running a gas line from your existing supply to the cooktop position and fitting a compliant gas point, all done by our licensed gas fitters. Installing a point is common when adding gas hot plates to a kitchen that did not have gas cooking, converting from electric, or relocating the cooktop in a renovation. We run and install the gas point safely and to the standard, so your gas hot plates have a proper, compliant connection point, and we test the whole installation on completion.
Replacing old gas hot plates
Replacing old gas hot plates or a gas cooktop with a new one is a common job, and because the gas point is already there, it is usually straightforward, though it still must be done by a licensed gas fitter. We safely disconnect the old hot plates, connect the new ones to the gas point, test the connection for leaks, and provide a compliance certificate, checking the gas point and connection suit the new cooktop. We can also take the old cooktop away. Whether you are upgrading to a better model or replacing faulty hot plates, we handle the gas connection safely and compliantly, so your new gas hot plates are connected properly and ready to cook on.
Leak testing
A crucial part of installing gas hot plates is testing the connection for leaks before the job is complete, because even a small gas leak is dangerous. After connecting the hot plates, our gas fitters test the connection and the gas system to confirm there are no leaks and that it holds pressure correctly, using proper testing methods and equipment. We never leave a gas connection without testing it. This leak testing, along with the correct connection and the compliance certificate, is what makes a professional gas hot plate installation safe, and it is a key reason gas work must be done by a licensed professional. It is standard on every gas installation we carry out, so you can cook with confidence.
The gas compliance certificate
When we install or connect gas hot plates, we provide a gas compliance certificate, your documented proof that the work was carried out by a licensed gas fitter and meets the relevant Australian Standard. This certificate matters: it keeps your appliance warranty and home insurance valid, it is your record that the gas work is safe and legal, and it is often required when selling or renting a property. Because our gas fitters are fully licensed, every gas hot plate installation we do comes with the correct certification. You get not just connected hot plates, but the assurance and paperwork that it was done safely and properly, an important part of a compliant gas installation.
Hot plates and electrical ignition
Many modern gas hot plates have electronic ignition, which needs a power supply, usually a standard power point nearby, so as well as the gas connection, there may be an electrical connection required. We can arrange both: the gas connection by our licensed gas fitter, and the electrical connection, a power point for the ignition, by our electricians if needed. This ensures your gas hot plates with electronic ignition have both the gas and power they need, connected correctly by the right licensed tradespeople. If your hot plates need power for ignition, mention it when you book, and we will make sure both the gas and electrical sides are handled so your cooktop is fully and safely connected.
Why cook with gas
Gas hot plates are preferred by many cooks for good reason, the flame is instant and responsive, giving precise, immediate control of the heat, you can see the flame to judge it, and it works even in a power outage. Gas is also often cheaper to run for cooking than electric. These are why gas cooktops remain popular, especially with keen cooks. If you are choosing or switching to gas hot plates, you get that responsive, controllable cooking flame, and we connect them safely so you can enjoy cooking with gas. Whether you are installing gas cooking for the first time or replacing old hot plates, we make sure your gas cooktop is safely and properly connected.
Gas safety and your hot plates
Gas is safe when installed and maintained correctly, and we ensure your hot plates are connected safely and burning cleanly. A correctly working gas burner has a crisp blue flame; a yellow or orange flame can indicate incomplete combustion and a carbon monoxide risk, which we check for when installing. We can also check your other gas appliances and connections for safety while we are there, and advise on carbon monoxide alarms. Gas safety is central to everything we do, so as well as installing your hot plates safely and compliantly, we help ensure your whole gas setup is safe, giving you peace of mind along with a working gas cooktop you can rely on.
How much does it cost?
The cost of installing gas hot plates depends on whether a gas point already exists or one needs to be run and installed, whether it is a replacement or a new installation, and any electrical work needed for ignition. A straightforward replacement using an existing gas point is quicker and cheaper than running a new gas line and point, or converting from electric cooking. We give you an upfront fixed price before we start, including the connection, leak testing and compliance certificate, so you know the cost. If a gas point needs installing or you are converting from electric, we will explain what is involved, so there are no surprises.
