Melbourne's Licensed Gas Fitting Specialists
Gas fitting is not a job for an unlicensed person. In Victoria, all gas fitting work, connecting, disconnecting, installing, servicing or repairing any gas appliance or gas fitting, must be carried out by a VBA licensed gas fitter. It is the law. And it matters, because gas fitting done incorrectly is dangerous.
Gas Experts Melbourne is a team of fully licensed gas fitters covering all aspects of residential and light commercial gas fitting across Melbourne. Whether you need a new gas cooktop connected, an outdoor gas point installed for your BBQ, a gas fireplace fitted, new gas pipe work run to an extension or an LPG system serviced, we handle it all.
Every job comes with a fixed upfront price, a complimentary safety check and a written record of work completed. No surprises. No unlicensed work. Just professional gas fitting done properly.
Why You Should Never Use an Unlicensed Gas Fitter
In Victoria, engaging an unlicensed person to carry out gas fitting work is illegal for both the person doing the work and the homeowner who engages them. But beyond the legal issue, the safety risks are serious.
Every Gas Experts Melbourne gas fitter holds a current VBA gas fitting licence and carries full public liability insurance. Every installation is completed to Australian Standards and signed off with a certificate of compliance where required.
What can go wrong with unlicensed gas fitting
- Gas leaks: incorrectly connected or sealed fittings allow gas to escape, creating a fire and explosion risk
- Carbon monoxide exposure: incorrectly installed appliances or flues can allow CO to build up inside the home
- Non-compliant installations: work that does not meet Australian Standards creates ongoing safety risks that may not be immediately apparent
- Voided home insurance: most home insurers will refuse a claim linked to unlicensed gas work
- Voided appliance warranty: manufacturers require licensed installation for warranty to be valid
- Fines and penalties: Energy Safe Victoria can issue significant fines for unlicensed gas work

Gas Appliances We Install and Service
Our licensed gas fitters install and service a wide range of gas appliances in Melbourne homes. Here is what we most commonly work on.
Gas cooking is the preferred choice of most serious home cooks. A new gas cooktop installation requires a licensed gas fitter to connect the appliance to the gas supply, test for leaks and confirm correct operation. We install all major brands including Smeg, Fisher and Paykel, Bosch, Westinghouse, Chef, Electrolux, Ilve, Belling and more.
Installing a new cooktop where no gas point currently exists requires a new gas pipe connection, we handle this as part of the installation.
Gas ovens and upright cookers require a flexible gas hose connection and a correctly sized gas supply. We install all major brands and can run new gas connections where required.
An outdoor gas point for a BBQ or outdoor kitchen is one of the most popular gas fitting requests we receive, particularly in Melbourne's spring and summer. We install a permanent gas outlet on an external wall or in the outdoor entertaining area, connected to the home's natural gas supply. No more gas bottles, no running out of gas mid-cook.
We can also install gas points for outdoor pizza ovens, patio heaters and outdoor kitchens.
A gas fireplace combines the aesthetic appeal of a real fire with the convenience and efficiency of gas. We install inbuilt gas fireplaces (installed into an existing or new fireplace opening) and freestanding gas fire units. All major brands serviced including Rinnai, Escea, Regency, Jetmaster and Real Flame.
Permanent outdoor gas heaters for alfresco areas, pergolas and entertaining spaces. We run gas to the installation location and install the heater to Australian Standards.
