Gas fitting covers everything from appliance connections to full gas line installations.
In East Gosford, the most common jobs are connecting or replacing gas hot water systems,
installing bayonet points for heaters, and issuing compliance certificates for property
sales and leases.

Not all of East Gosford has natural gas (mains) coverage. Properties outside the Jemena
network rely on LPG bottles or have no gas at all. Older homes with existing gas may have
ageing copper or black iron gas lines that need testing and potentially upgrading to meet
current standards.
