Key takeaways
- In NSW only a licensed gasfitter can install, relocate or replace a gas appliance, and that includes a straight cooktop swap.
- The big variables are the pipe route to the new position, whether the existing pipe and meter can supply it, and whether you are on natural gas or LPG.
- Plan the gas work around the kitchen build: the pipe goes in before walls and cabinets close up, and the cooktop is connected once the benchtop is in.
- When the work is finished, the gasfitter must give you a certificate of compliance for network gas, or a certificate of inspection for bottled gas.
