Gas Installation Service in Perth metro
Gas installation service in Perth
Gas installation covers connecting, running or altering gas supply for appliances such as cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, heaters and BBQ points, plus new gas line runs for renovations or extensions. It also includes decommissioning old gas fittings, converting appliances between natural gas and LPG, and pressure testing to make sure a system is safe before it's signed off. In Western Australia this work has to be done by a licensed gas fitter, and any new or altered installation needs a compliance certificate lodged with the relevant authority. This is not a category where a handy homeowner should be doing their own work: a poor connection or a badly sealed joint can mean a gas leak, and that's a safety risk, not just an inconvenience.
We've listed 696 gas fitters and plumbing businesses across the Perth metro area that offer installation work. Before booking, check that a business holds a current gas fitting licence, ask whether they'll provide a compliance certificate on completion, and get a clear idea of what's included in any quote (parts, labour, testing, and any gas fitting or council paperwork). Our ranked guide to Perth's best gas installation services pulls together review data and other signals to help narrow that list down.

Common questions about gas installation service
- How much does gas installation cost in Perth?
- It depends heavily on the job. Connecting a single appliance like a cooktop or BBQ point where gas is already nearby might run a few hundred dollars, while running a new gas line to an extension, installing a gas hot water system, or converting a whole house from LPG to natural gas can run into the thousands once trenching, appliance costs and compliance certification are included. Always get an itemised quote rather than a flat estimate over the phone.
- How often do gas installations need attention?
- A properly installed system shouldn't need re-installation, but gas appliances themselves (hot water units, heaters, cooktops) typically last 10-15 years and will need replacement and reconnection at that point. It's also worth having gas fittings checked if you're renovating, adding an appliance, or if you smell gas, notice a yellow rather than blue flame, or see soot marks near an appliance.
- What should I expect during a gas installation job?
- A licensed fitter will assess the job, quote for parts and labour, run or connect the gas line, fit and test the appliance, check for leaks, and lodge a compliance certificate once the work meets Australian gas standards. For bigger jobs involving new lines, expect some wall or floor access work and possibly a short gas supply disconnection while the job is done.
- How can I judge the quality of a gas fitter before hiring them?
- Ask for their gas fitting licence number and confirm it's current, check they carry public liability insurance, and ask specifically whether a compliance certificate is issued for the work. Beyond that, recent customer reviews that mention punctuality, tidy work and clear communication are a reasonable proxy for how a job will go, which is part of what our ranking factors in.
