About Plumbing & Gas Services Pomona

Gas fitting is a different qualification to plumbing. Often, plumbers will offer gas fitting services, however it is important to note that a specialist will know more about the systems. A gas fitter trades person will be trained in repairs, servicing and fault finding – different to any other trade.

Gas fitters can cover all aspects relating to gas appliance repairs, gas hot water system installations, leak detection, issue resolution, emergency works and gas plumbing. A gas fitter will also complete complicated appliance services – such as those used in commercial restaurants.

Gas plumbers will run pipework and complete basic installations. Gas plumbers do have the same qualifications as a gas fitter, but won’t have the same knowledge base when it comes to appliance servicing.

Plumbers may offer a combination of the above, however once again, won’t have the same specialist gas fitting knowledge, unless they have spent time working in the gas fitting service industry. 

Since our business inception in 2021, we specialised in gas fitting services exclusively. Having identified the need early on to provide a more comprehensive service, we expanded into plumbing. In short, we do provide specialist gas fitting services along side plumbing.

Whether your job warrants a plumber or gas fitter may depend on the scope of work. It’s best to call & discuss the issue you are experiencing.

We do not charge call out fees for quotes. Rest assured that we only charge for our time on the project, after the quote has been accepted. We believe in charging fairly as we value return business.

In some instances where we need to cover our travel costs for a job, we will charge a call out fee on top of the labour. This fee is usually only applied to small jobs where we spend less than an hour on site, or for emergency call outs.

To repair, it is best to speak to a plumber first. If we are able to identify what may be causing the hot water system issue, we will either make a time to inspect the unit or refer you to an electrician. Our company Plumbing & Gas Services Pomona does hold a restricted electrical license which enables us to perform simple electrical tasks. It is important to note that an electrician is only licensed to repair the electrical circuit, therefore calling a plumber first could save a headache.

To install a new electric hot water system, you will need both a plumber & an electrician – in most instances, we will organise the electrician to complete their part, therefore making the job as seamless as possible. 

To install a new gas hot water system, the process will be the same, both a gas fitter/plumber and an electrician will be required to complete the work.

In some instances when the replacement electric or gas hot water unit is a straightforward swap out, an electrician may not be required.

Whatever your situation may be, we can discuss the correct plan of action with you directly.

Here are some common signs that you may have a leak:

• Your water pressure has dropped significantly, leaving only a weak trickle.
• Your lawn has turned into a swampy mess.
• New soft patches or depressions have appeared in the ground, or some areas of your lawn are thriving unusually well despite even watering efforts.
• The paving, bricks, or concrete around your home are damp or feel unstable.
• Your water bill has unexpectedly spiked much higher than usual.

A licensed plumber or gas fitter must adhere to strict rules and regulations to ensure their work meets safety requirements and complies with all relevant Australian Standards. Additionally, if you’re planning to sell your property, any renovations must align with these standards to avoid potential issues or delays during the sale process.

In Queensland, gas suppliers require a current gas compliance certificate before supplying gas to a property. This certificate ensures that the gas system is safe and fully compliant with all relevant codes, regulations, and Australian Standards.

Beyond meeting legal requirements, regular checks of your gas system provide peace of mind, ensuring the safety of your family, home, and property. Faulty or outdated systems can pose serious risks, such as gas leaks or inefficiency, so having your system inspected and certified by a licensed gas fitter is essential for both safety and reliability.
