What Is A Gas Point Installation?
A gas point — sometimes called a gas outlet or gas bayonet — is a fixed connection point in your home’s gas supply network that allows a gas appliance to be connected and disconnected safely. Installing a new gas point means extending your existing gas supply line to a new location and fitting a compliant outlet that’s ready to accept an appliance.
Gas points can be installed virtually anywhere a gas appliance is needed:
- Inside The Home: Kitchens, laundries, and living spaces where gas appliances are being added or relocated.
- On An External Wall: Outdoor kitchens, alfresco areas, and entertaining spaces where a fixed gas supply replaces LPG cylinders.
- Under A Benchtop: Built-in cooktops and ovens requiring a concealed connection point flush with the cabinetry.
- In A Laundry: Gas dryers and instantaneous hot water units positioned close to where the supply is needed most.
- In An Outdoor Alfresco Or Entertaining Space: Barbecues, patio heaters, and fire features connected permanently to the mains supply.
The location, the pipe run required, and the appliances being connected all factor into how the installation is approached — but the compliance requirements are the same regardless of where the point ends up.
Why Homeowners & Businesses Need New Gas Points
The reasons people need a new gas point installed vary widely, but the most common scenarios we attend across the Sunshine Coast include:
Kitchen Upgrades & Renovations
Switching from electric to gas cooking is one of the most popular kitchen upgrades a Sunshine Coast homeowner can make — but it requires a gas point where one may not currently exist. If there’s no gas connection in the kitchen, we run the supply line and install the outlet as part of the same job.
Outdoor Entertaining Areas
A fixed gas point for a built-in barbecue, outdoor kitchen, or patio heater transforms an alfresco space.
- Eliminates LPG cylinders entirely
- Provides an unlimited supply
- Is significantly more convenient for regular outdoor cooking and entertaining.
New Gas Appliances
Installing a gas cooktop, gas oven, gas dryer, or instantaneous gas hot water system to a location that doesn’t currently have a gas outlet requires a new point to be run.
We:
- Install the point
- Connect the appliance
- Test & certify the full installation before we leave.
Property Extensions & Renovations
When a room is added or a space is reconfigured, existing gas points may no longer be in the right position. We relocate existing points and run new ones to suit the updated layout.
New Builds
Properties being built with gas connection from the outset need points installed at every appliance location during construction. We work with builders and owner-builders across the Sunshine Coast to install gas points as part of the build process.
LPG To Natural Gas Conversion
When a Sunshine Coast property connects to the natural gas network for the first time, existing LPG outlets and appliances need to be assessed, converted, or replaced. We handle the gas point installation and appliance conversion as part of a complete switchover.
What’s Involved In A Gas Point Installation
Every gas point installation involves extending a gas supply line from an existing connection to the new outlet location. The complexity depends on the distance of the run and the structural requirements of the property.
Here’s what our installation process covers:
- Site Assessment: We assess the existing supply and proposed route to provide an accurate, variation-free quote.
- Pipe Installation: We run supply pipes according to AS/NZS 5601 standards with minimal disruption.
- Outlet Fitting: The gas point is fitted flush and secure at the desired location.
- Pressure Testing: We confirm there are zero leaks along the entire length of the new pipe.
- Appliance Connection: We can connect and commission your appliance during the same visit.
- Compliance Certification: We provide the mandatory Queensland certificate of compliance for your records and insurance.
Gas Point Installation Cost On The Sunshine Coast
Cost varies based on pipe run length and complexity, but our pricing approach is fixed:
- No Hourly Rates: You pay only for the job, not the clock.
- No Hidden Fees: Every cost is accounted for in your upfront quote.
- No Surprises: The quoted price is exactly what you pay.
Why Use A Licensed Gas Fitter?
In Queensland, all gas work must be carried out by a plumber holding a gas fitting licence. It is illegal for unlicensed individuals to perform this work, and doing so voids home insurance and compliance safety.
Sunshine Coast Plumbing and Hot Water’s gas fitters are fully licensed, insured, and provide compliance certificates for every installation.
