When to hire a gas fitters
Most Australian households hire a gas fitters for a mix of unplanned repairs and planned upgrades.

For any work that touches the structure of the home, the electrical or gas system, or the hot/cold water supply, hiring a qualified specialist is not optional — it's required by law.

Common gas fitters problems and solutions
The most frequent issues Australian homeowners encounter that require a gas fitters, and whether each is a DIY fix or a job for a licensed professional.
Gas smell inside the home Hire a pro
A gas smell is an emergency — do not operate any electrical switches. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Once outside, call 000 and your gas network operator's emergency line (Jemena, Evoenergy, etc.). Do not re-enter until the network operator and a licensed gas fitter have confirmed it is safe. Never attempt to locate or repair a gas leak yourself.
Gas hot water or heater pilot light won't stay lit Hire a pro
Relighting a pilot light following the manufacturer's instructions is the one gas-appliance task homeowners may perform. If the pilot light repeatedly fails to stay lit after correct relighting procedure, the thermocouple or thermopile is faulty. Thermocouple replacement requires a licensed gas fitter — it involves working on gas pipework inside the appliance, which requires a gas-fitting licence in every Australian state.
Adding a gas point for an outdoor kitchen or BBQ Hire a pro
Installing a new gas outlet point, extending a gas line or connecting an outdoor kitchen to the gas supply requires a licensed gas fitter with a current gas-fitting licence (separate from the plumbing licence in most states). After installation, the fitter must pressure-test the pipework and issue a Certificate of Compliance. Never use flexible LPG hose connections in lieu of a permanent fixed gas line indoors.
Gas meter upgrade or disconnection for electrification Hire a pro
If you're replacing gas appliances with electric alternatives, contact your gas retailer to arrange meter decommissioning — this is the retailer's responsibility. A licensed gas fitter must cap and certify the internal gas pipework as part of the decommissioning process. Disconnection can take 4–8 weeks to schedule in metropolitan areas; allow sufficient lead time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know a gas fitters on TaskerAsker is legitimate?
Every gas fitters listed on TaskerAsker is ABN-verified before being published, and identity is confirmed against a government-issued ID. Licensed gas fitters also carry a verified state licence number on file. You can read recent reviews from real jobs on every profile, and we surface the verification badges, response time and completion rate on the listing card.
What should I ask a gas fitters before hiring?
Ask for a written, itemised quote that separates labour and materials, includes GST, names the warranty period in writing, and lists payment terms. Also ask for the state licence number and a copy of public-liability insurance. A good provider will share these without hesitation; reluctance to put detail in writing is a red flag.
Why should I compare three gas fitters quotes instead of just one?
Three quotes is the gold standard for fair pricing on any gas fitters job. The lowest is rarely the best value (often skips materials or cuts corners on warranty), and the highest often includes premium scope you don't need. The middle quote, with the clearest scope, is usually the right choice. Comparing three lets you see exactly where the difference is — labour rate, materials supplied, warranty, compliance — instead of guessing.
How quickly can I get a quote from a gas fitters?
