Do Plumbers do Gas too?

Ready to learn about the wonderful world of gas plumbing?

Are you ready to learn about the wonderful world of gas plumbing? If not, don't worry - we'll make it so much fun, you'll wonder why you didn't get excited about it sooner!


First of all, YES - plumbers DO do gas fitting (but not this furry little guy above/below so don't call him, K?), so now let's get into what gas plumbing is all about. Simply put, it's the installation and maintenance of gas pipes and appliances. This might sound a little boring at first, but there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.


For starters, gas plumbing is all about keeping you safe. Gas can be SUPER dangerous if it's not handled properly, which is why it's so important to have a professional take care of all your gas plumbing needs. Not only will they make sure everything is installed correctly, but they'll also keep an eye out for any potential hazards or issues that could arise down the line.


Not all plumbers are qualified to work with gas

But gas plumbing isn't just about safety - it's also about convenience. Think about it: how many of your favourite appliances run on gas? Your stove, your hot water unit, your gas heater... the list goes on and on. Without proper gas plumbing, you wouldn't be able to enjoy all the amazing benefits of these appliances.


Different gas pipes for different applications


Now, let's talk about some of the more interesting aspects of gas plumbing. Did you know that there are different types of gas pipes for different applications? For example, if you're running gas to a heater, you'll want a larger pipe than if you're just running it to a stove. And if you're running gas to an outdoor BBQ, you'll want a special type of pipe that's designed to withstand the elements.


A plumber can run a gas line to your BBQ


And speaking of outdoor BBQ's, did you know that you can actually run your gas line right to it? No more fussing with LPG bottles, worrying about running out of gas once you've put the snags on, or making mad dashes to the servo to swap the bottle. With a little help from a gas plumbing pro, you can have your BBQ hooked up to your home's natural gas line in no time.

But the fun doesn't stop there. Gas plumbing can also involve some pretty high-tech gadgets. For example, some smart thermostats can actually be programmed to adjust your home's temperature based on the weather outside. And with a smart gas valve, you can remotely turn off your gas supply in case of an emergency or if you're going to be away from home for an extended period of time.


So there you have it - gas plumbing might not be the most exciting thing in the world, but it's definitely more interesting than you might have originally thought. And if you ever need a gas plumbing pro to help you out, just remember: they're not just keeping you safe, they're making your life a little more convenient too!
