Gasfitting

Gas isn’t something to take chances with. Installation, repairs and servicing need to be carried out properly by people who are qualified to do the work. Atkinson & Donaldson Plumbing provides gasfitting services throughout Rotorua, including gas appliance installation, gas hot water, pipework, repairs, servicing and gas leak detection.

Gasfitting is restricted work in New Zealand and must be carried out by an appropriately licensed or authorised gasfitter. Required certification is also completed as part of applicable gasfitting work.

Gas Appliance Installation

Installing a gas appliance involves more than simply connecting it to the gas supply. Our gasfitters can complete the required gas work, make the appropriate connections and ensure the installation meets the requirements that apply to the job.

Gas Hot Water

If your gas hot water system isn’t working the way it should, we can take a look. We work on gas hot water systems for homes and businesses, including:

  • Installation

  • Gas pipework

  • Repairs

  • Servicing

We’ll inspect the system, find the likely cause of the problem and explain what needs to happen next.

Gas Repairs & Servicing

If a gas appliance or installation is showing signs of a fault, don’t ignore it. Our team can inspect gas installations, carry out servicing and complete suitable repairs to help keep the system operating safely and reliably.

Gas Pipework

We install, alter and repair gas pipework for residential and commercial properties. This can include gas pipework required for:

  • New appliances

  • Hot water systems

  • Renovations

  • Alterations

  • Other gas installations

The work is carried out in accordance with the requirements applicable to the job.

Gas Leak Detection

If you suspect a gas leak, take it seriously. If you smell gas indoors:

  • Keep flames and cigarettes away

  • Avoid operating electrical switches or mobile phones in the affected area

  • Turn off the gas supply if this can be done safely

  • Ventilate the property

  • Move outside if the smell persists

  • In an emergency, call 111

Don’t attempt to repair a suspected gas fault yourself. Gas appliances and installations should be checked by a licensed gas worker.
