Signs You Need a Licensed Gas Fitter in Ourimbah

LPG smell near appliances or cylinders

LPG has a distinctive rotten egg or cabbage odour added as a safety odorant. Any smell of gas — indoors or near the cylinder cage — means you have a leak. Turn off the cylinder valve, ventilate, and call a licensed gas fitter immediately. Do not switch anything on or off.

Appliances not lighting or burning irregularly

If your gas cooktop, hot water system, or heater won't light consistently or the flame is orange or yellow instead of blue, there may be a regulator fault, a partially blocked burner, or an issue with the LPG supply pressure. All require a licensed gas fitter to diagnose and fix.

LPG bottles running out unusually fast

If your 45 kg LPG cylinders are emptying much faster than usual without increased use, you may have an undetected leak somewhere in the pipework or at a connection. This is both a safety issue and a significant running cost problem for Ourimbah acreage properties.

Adding a new gas appliance

Installing a new gas cooktop, BBQ connection point, outdoor heater, or LPG hot water system in Ourimbah must be done by a licensed gas fitter who pressure tests the connection and issues a Certificate of Compliance. This is mandatory under NSW law and required by your insurance policy.

No compliance certificate on the property

If you've bought an Ourimbah property and cannot find a Certificate of Compliance for the gas system, you need a licensed gas fitter to inspect, pressure test, and certify the installation. This is particularly common on older acreage properties where gas work may have been done without certification.
