Gas Fitting in Brisbane

Yes. All gas fitting at Submerge Plumbing & Gas is performed by a licensed gas fitter. Gas work in Queensland is licence-controlled — unlicensed gas work is illegal and dangerous, and an unlicensed gas appliance install will void your home insurance. We issue a Gas Compliance Certificate after every gas job that requires one, and you get a copy for your records and any future sale or rental of the property.

Yes. We work with natural gas (mains) and LPG (bottled). We can install, service and certify gas cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, gas heaters and outdoor BBQ connections. If you're switching from one fuel source to the other (for example, going from electric to gas hot water), we can quote the full pipework, appliance and certification work as one fixed-price job.

Most new gas appliance installs and any work that involves disconnecting/reconnecting gas appliances require a Gas Compliance Certificate in Queensland. Submerge Plumbing & Gas provides the certificate for any qualifying work we do — included in the price, not as an extra. Keep it with your home documents; selling agents and home insurers will sometimes ask for it. If you've recently moved in and can't find the certificate for an existing appliance, we can inspect and certify retrospectively.

Gas fitting is quoted as a fixed price per appliance install or per scope, after a quick on-site look. Hourly billing isn't usually appropriate for gas because the work has clear deliverables — install, certify, test. The quote includes the certificate and the leak-test. For service work (a gas heater not lighting properly, for example) we'll diagnose at the call-out fee, then quote the fix before doing it.

Treat a suspected gas leak as an emergency — turn the gas off at the meter, ventilate the room, and don't use any electrical switches. Then call us. We aim to be on-site within an hour of an emergency gas-leak call in Brisbane, day or night. If the leak is severe enough that you can smell gas across multiple rooms, call 000 and your gas distributor's emergency line first; they'll attend faster for a major leak.

Yes. We install, replace and service gas storage and continuous-flow hot water systems. We'll size the unit correctly for your household demand (continuous-flow is rated by litres-per-minute and undersizing is the most common mistake), advise on Energy Star ratings, and handle the disposal of the old unit. The install includes the gas certificate and a five-year manufacturer warranty registration where applicable.

Yes. We recommend annual servicing for gas hot water units and gas heaters, especially for rental properties where any incident triggers a hard look at maintenance records. The service includes a leak-check, burner inspection, flame-rectification check on continuous-flow units, and a written summary. Most insurers and property managers see annual service records as evidence of reasonable owner care.
