Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Somerville has reticulated gas throughout — many homes use gas for hot water, cooking, and heating. Whether you're on Ridge Road, along Moore Street, near Pakuranga Road, or up around Stockade Hill — if it involves gas, we handle it.
A lot of Somerville's 1960s and 70s homes have older gas appliances that need servicing or replacement. We see plenty of aging gas hot water systems, outdated gas heaters, and worn fittings across the area. It's also a popular spot for Rinnai Infinity installs — upgrading from old gas cylinders to modern continuous flow.
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. Every gas job comes with the correct gas safety certificate — either a GSC (Gas Safety Certificate) or COC (Certificate of Compliance). No shortcuts.
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.

Definitely. Many 1960s and 70s homes in Somerville still have original gas fittings. We can inspect, service, or replace them and issue the correct certification.
