Melbourne’s inner north — Fitzroy, Brunswick, Northcote, Collingwood, and the suburbs around them — has a dense concentration of older homes, many of which have natural gas connected for heating, hot water, and cooking. Gas fitting work in this area ranges from routine servicing to new connections and emergency fault finding.
What a Licensed Gas Fitter Can Do
In Victoria, gas fitting work must be performed by a licensed gas fitter. The scope includes:
- New gas appliance installation — cooktops, ovens, heaters, hot water systems
- Outdoor gas points — BBQ connections, outdoor heaters, fire pits
- Gas meter upgrades and new connections
- Gas pressure testing and leak detection
- Repairing or replacing gas pipework
- Decommissioning gas appliances
- Annual heater servicing and safety checks
Inner North Gas Work — What We See Regularly
In Fitzroy, Brunswick, and Northcote, the most common gas fitting requests we receive are: new cooktop installation during kitchen renovations (older terrace kitchens upgrading to gas), outdoor BBQ gas point installation (deck and outdoor kitchen builds), ducted heater servicing and filter replacement ahead of winter, flexible connector replacement on aging appliances, and fault finding when a gas appliance stops working or a pilot light won’t stay lit.
Gas Safety in Older Inner North Homes
Older homes often have aging gas appliances and, in some cases, older gas pipework that hasn’t been inspected in years. An annual gas safety check gives you visibility of any issues before they become problems — particularly important in tenanted properties where the landlord has obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act.
