Smell gas? What to do now
Don't use switches, flames or anything that could create a spark. If it's safe, turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder, open doors and windows and leave the area. Call your gas distributor's emergency line (for natural gas on the Gold Coast that's Allgas; for LPG, your cylinder supplier), or 000 if there is immediate danger. Do not attempt to repair gas equipment yourself.

Safety
Gas leak detection and testing
A gas leak test checks that a section of installation holds pressure over a set period. We test after every installation or alteration, and we can test an existing installation if you've noticed a faint smell, a gas bill that doesn't make sense, or flames that burn yellow and lazy instead of crisp and blue.
Where a leak is found we isolate the affected section, find the fitting or appliance responsible and repair it within our licence scope. If an appliance isn't safe to use, we tell you plainly and isolate it. For sales and rentals, a check of the installation and appliances gives buyers, landlords and tenants confidence.

Good to know
Gas fitting in Queensland: what you should know.
Gas work is regulated for good reason. Here's how it works in Queensland, so you know what to expect from any gas fitter.
Rules and standards that apply
- Gas work licence issued by Resources Safety & Health Queensland (RSHQ)
- AS/NZS 5601.1 Gas installations
- A compliance certificate for installation work on your gas system
Who can do gas work
In Queensland, installing, connecting, altering, repairing or servicing gas appliances and the pipework that supplies them must be done by a person holding a gas work licence issued by Resources Safety & Health Queensland. That applies to a new cooktop just as much as to a new gas line. Our gas work licence number is shown on this page, and you are welcome to check it.
The standard the work must meet
Household gas installations are designed, installed and tested to AS/NZS 5601.1. It covers pipe sizing, clearances around appliances, ventilation and flueing, where regulators and LPG cylinders can sit, and the testing needed before an installation is put into service. Most of it is invisible once the job is done, which is why the testing and the paperwork matter.
Natural gas or LPG?
Many Gold Coast suburbs are connected to the natural gas network. Other homes run on LPG, usually from 45 kg cylinders exchanged by a gas supplier. A gas meter at the front of the property usually means natural gas; cylinders mean LPG.
Appliances are built or set up for one gas type. Converting an appliance from one to the other is licensed gas work, and only possible where the manufacturer provides for it. Tell us which supply you have when you enquire, and we'll confirm the work is within our licence scope.
Your compliance certificate
When installation work on your gas system has been completed and tested, Queensland's gas safety rules require the gas fitter to give the owner a compliance certificate. Keep it with your property records. You may be asked for it when selling, leasing or making an insurance claim.
Signs a gas appliance needs checking
Flames on a cooktop or heater should be crisp and mostly blue. Lazy yellow or orange flames, soot or scorch marks, a pilot that keeps going out, or a gas smell are all reasons to stop using the appliance and have it checked. Headaches, dizziness or drowsiness while an indoor gas heater is running can point to a ventilation or combustion problem: turn the heater off, ventilate the room and get it inspected before using it again.
Before you buy a new gas appliance
Check that the appliance matches your gas type, that it fits the clearances required around benchtops and rangehoods, and that your gas supply can feed it. A large continuous-flow water heater or a second appliance can need bigger pipework or a different regulator. Send us the brand and model before you buy and we'll tell you what the installation involves.

Questions
Gas fitting FAQs: Gold Coast
I can smell gas. What should I do?
Do not use switches, flames or anything that could create a spark. If it is safe to do so, turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder, open doors and windows and leave the area. Call your gas distributor's emergency line, or 000 if there is immediate danger. Then call a licensed gas fitter.
Do you work with LPG and natural gas?
We will confirm on enquiry which supply types and appliances are within our current licence scope.
Will I receive a compliance certificate?
Gas work is documented as required for the work performed. We explain what you will receive before we start.
Can I connect a gas cooktop or BBQ myself?
No. In Queensland, connecting a gas appliance to the house supply is gas work and must be done by a licensed gas fitter. Plugging a portable BBQ into a bayonet point that has already been installed is fine; installing the bayonet is not DIY work.
Do you install outdoor gas bayonets?
Yes. A bayonet point lets you plug a BBQ or patio heater into your house supply. It has to be installed where the standard allows, then tested before use.
My gas bill has jumped. Could I have a leak?
Possibly, but colder weather, a new appliance or a price change are more common causes. If you smell gas, follow the safety steps above first. Otherwise, a pressure test of your gas pipework shows whether it holds pressure, which is the reliable way to tell.
