Gas cooktops are the most common cooktop type in Sydney kitchens. The install sits under NSW gas-fitting regulation, which is a separate licensing regime from electrical work. Our technicians hold the licence required and issue a certificate of gas compliance on every gas cooktop we fit.
What is involved
A compliant gas cooktop installation covers:
- Benchtop cutout verification. The opening is checked against the manufacturer’s template. Stone benchtops need the cutout done by a stonemason in advance.
- Gas line connection. Existing gas point is tested for supply pressure. The cooktop is connected with the manufacturer-specified hose or hard pipe, never a generic substitute.
- Injector configuration. Most gas cooktops ship with both natural-gas (mains) and LPG (bottle) injectors. The correct set is fitted for your gas type. The data plate is updated to record the change.
- Burner setup. Each burner is lit and tuned. The flame should be clean blue, the right size, and not lifting off the burner head. Yellow tipping, lazy flames, or popping during ignition indicate setup problems and are corrected before sign-off.
- Leak test. The line is pressurised and watched for any pressure drop. A failed test means a leak somewhere; we find it and fix it before the appliance is commissioned.
- Certificate of gas compliance. Issued at the end of the job. You keep a copy.
Why the certificate matters
The certificate of gas compliance is required documentation. Insurance providers ask for it on claims involving gas appliances. Strata schemes ask for it before a unit owner can fit a new cooktop. Property managers require it before they accept a tenant-arranged install.
