Gasfitting Services in Ponsonby

Ponsonby has reticulated gas running through many of its streets, with 1890s-1930s villas using gas for hot water, cooking, and heating. Whether you're on Ponsonby Road, along Franklin Road, or near Collingwood Street — if it involves gas, we handle it.

Ponsonby Road's busy cafe and restaurant strip means strong demand for commercial gas fit-outs — commercial gas hobs, ovens, deep fryers, and hot water systems. We handle both the residential side streets and the commercial kitchens along the main strip. Every commercial gas installation gets the required gas safety certification and compliance documentation.

On the residential side, there's growing demand across Ponsonby for continuous flow gas hot water upgrades — replacing old gas storage cylinders with modern Rinnai Infinity or Rheem units. We do the full job: disconnect the old unit, install the new one, run any new gas pipe, and issue the gas safety certificate.

By law, only a certified gas fitter can work on gas. 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).

When You Need a Gas Fitter

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install a gas appliance myself?

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.

Do I get a gas certificate?

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.

Can you install a gas bayonet for a heater or BBQ?

Yes. We install gas bayonet points for portable gas heaters, BBQs, and gas fires. New gas line run from the meter with certification.

Do you do commercial gas fit-outs for Ponsonby Road cafes?

Yes — we handle commercial gas installations for cafes and restaurants along Ponsonby Road and surrounding streets. Gas hobs, ovens, deep fryers, grills — full installation with all required gas safety certification and compliance documentation.

Can you upgrade my old gas hot water cylinder to continuous flow?

Yes — it's one of the most common jobs we do in Ponsonby. Many of the 1890s-1930s villas here still have older gas storage cylinders. We remove the old unit, install a modern Rinnai or Rheem continuous flow system, and issue the gas cert.
