Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Papatoetoe has gas available in many streets, particularly around the Papatoetoe town centre, along Great South Road, St George Street, and Kolmar Road. Much of the housing stock here dates from the 1950s to 1970s — classic state housing era. Some have gas hot water already, but many are still running electric cylinders. We're seeing growing interest in converting to gas continuous flow for better efficiency and endless hot water.
By law, only a certified gas fitter can work on gas. Don't risk it with someone who isn't qualified. We're both a registered plumber AND certified gas fitter — so we handle the water and the gas in one visit. No need to book two tradesmen.
Every gas job we do comes with the correct gas safety certificate — either a GSC (Gas Safety Certificate) or COC (Certificate of Compliance). That's not optional, it's the law, and we don't cut corners.
Smell of gas — that rotten egg smell means a gas leak. Get outside and call immediately.
Yellow or orange flame — gas burners should burn blue. Yellow means incomplete combustion.
Hissing near gas pipes — could be a leak at a joint or connection. Don't ignore it.
Gas hot water not working — pilot light out, ignition failure, or gas supply issue.
Black soot on appliances — sign of poor combustion, needs servicing urgently.
No gas safety cert — if your gas appliance was installed without certification, it needs inspecting.
No. It's illegal in New Zealand to do your own gas work. Only a certified gas fitter can install, repair, or disconnect gas appliances. Fines apply and your insurance won't cover damage from uncertified work.
Yes, always. Every gas installation or repair gets the proper gas safety certificate (GSC) or certificate of compliance (COC). It's the law and we don't cut corners.
Yes. Many Papatoetoe homes still have old electric cylinders. We install gas continuous flow units like Rinnai Infinity — endless hot water, lower running costs. Full gas certification included.
