Gas Plumbing in Fitzroy
Fitzroy's character terrace homes are some of Melbourne's most sought-after — but those original gas lines feeding the hydronic heating and kitchen cooktops need a licensed eye. Gas leaks in older homes aren't always obvious.
Gas work in Victoria must be carried out by a licensed gas fitter — and all Lightning Response Plumbing technicians hold current gas licences. We handle everything from a leaking gas line to a full gas conversion for a new cooktop or outdoor BBQ connection.
Gas Safety Warning Signs in Fitzroy Homes
Fitzroy's Inner-city terrace homes with older gas lines and appliances — and older gas installations in Victorian terraces with gas hydronic heating can develop specific problems:
- Smell of gas: Even faint — leave the property, don't operate any switches, call 1800 GAS GAS, then call us
- Pilot light keeps going out: Could be a failing thermocouple or draught issue — but can also indicate a pressure problem
- Appliance keeps cutting out: Faulty gas valve, incorrect pressure, or a blocked burner
- Hissing from a fitting or connection: Never ignore this — it's escaping gas
- Unexplained increase in gas bills: Often points to a slow leak on the line
- Black soot around a burner: Incomplete combustion — potentially producing carbon monoxide
If you can smell gas strongly — evacuate everyone, leave doors open, don't touch switches. Call the gas emergency line: 1800 GAS GAS (1800 427 427), then call us on 0434 542 446. We'll be there to repair the line and get you back on gas safely.
