Your personal safety – along with the safety of your family and property – should always be your number one priority. That’s why work involving gas must be undertaken by a licensed gas fitter, including the installation and removal of gas appliances. The only exception to the rule is simple connections that involve attaching an outlet directly to a gas bottle, such as a connection found on a gas barbecue.

Once the work is completed, ask your gas fitter for a certificate to show the work has been carried out by a licensed professional. To find a licensed gas fitter, head online to the Master Plumbers & Gasfitters Association of Western Australia for services available in your area.
