Can I connect gas to my property? Simone - Brighton

Question:

Hi Ken, I have recently purchased a house in Brighton that does not have gas connected. I would like to eventually change the hotwater service to a gas one and also have a gas heater installed. Can gas be connected to a house?

Answer:

Hi Simone, yes certainly gas can be connected to your house.

The first thing you need to do is call the 'Natural Gas Hotline': 1300 001 001. They will confirm if gas is available on your street and at what pressure.

If gas is available you then need to choose a supplier eg. AGL and arrange for a gas inlet to be fitted.

From here this is where we come in. We can provide the appropriate gas pipework for your needs and arrange the installation of your preferred appliances.

Once this is complete we then provide a Certificate of Compliance allowing the meter to be fitted by your preferred supplier.

There are still rebates available for converting electric to gas hot water. See: http://www.maketheconnection.com.au/sa/home/
