The Importance of Hiring a Licensed Gasfitter on the Mornington Peninsula
When it comes to gas appliances in your home, if you have any concerns at all about their operations it pays to get a licensed gasfitter. We get it—DIY jobs and cheap quick fixes can seem tempting, especially when life’s busy. But when it comes to gas, even the smallest mistake can turn into a major safety hazard.
Let’s see why it’s so important to hire a licensed gasfitter on the Mornington Peninsula, and how BT Plumbing keeps your home or business safe, legal, and worry-free.
The Dangers of Unlicensed Gas Work
Unlicensed gas work isn’t just illegal in Victoria—it’s downright dangerous.
Gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosions, and fires are all real risks when gas appliances are installed or repaired incorrectly. We’ve seen it all—dodgy pipework, lack of proper ventilation, and appliances that just aren’t compliant with Australian safety standards.
Worse still, if something goes wrong and the work was carried out by someone unlicensed, your insurance might not cover the damage. That’s a pretty big gamble to take with your property and your family’s safety.
What Does a Licensed Gasfitter Actually Do?
A licensed Mornington Peninsula gasfitter isn’t just someone who knows how to install a cooktop or connect your hot water system. They’ve completed specialised training, understand local regulations, and are authorised to carry out gas-related work safely and legally.
That includes:
-
Gas heater servicing and safety checks
-
Detecting and fixing gas leaks
-
Connecting new gas appliances (ovens, stoves, BBQs)
-
Running new gas lines safely and up to code
