Certified gas fitting and safety checks in Paraparaumu
Every gas job in Paraparaumu is completed by a registered gasfitter and finished with the paperwork required under the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations 2010. Each joint is tested, gas pressure confirmed and ventilation checked before an appliance is signed off.
Certificate charges apply on top of labour and materials, ranging from a low-risk safety certificate to a high-risk gas code of compliance. It is worth arranging annual servicing for all gas appliances on site, as a service includes a safety check plus work on the appliance itself.
Gas work is often carried out alongside a hot water cylinder replacement during an upgrade.

Instant gas hot water and califont systems for Kapiti homes
Gas hot water runs on demand, heating water as it passes through the unit rather than storing it. This removes the standing losses of a cylinder, so cost applies only when hot water is drawn.
Continuous flow suits homes with heavy morning use, holiday houses, and smaller households wanting hot water without a large tank. We install Rinnai Infinity, Rheem and other systems, plus outdoor gas storage models that run through a power cut. Systems are sized to household demand.
Installation covers connecting, leak testing, checking the flame and confirming safe operation. Conversions are assessed against existing setup and plumber service pipework.

Gas hob installation and gas heating
Gas cooking gives consistent, predictable heat, which is why it remains a common choice in kitchens. Gas hob installation involves connecting the hob, testing every joint for leaks, checking the flame and confirming safe operation, with timing dependent on whether the gas line already exists.
Gas heating covers gas fires, flued heaters and radiator systems that warm a home or business quickly. Radiators heat up and cool down fast, which suits New Zealand's changeable weather.
Free quotes are available for converting an existing home to gas or installing gas in a new build, often coordinated with bathroom renovations.

A certified gasfitter checks for leaks, correct pressure, proper ventilation and safe appliance connection. Every joint is tested, the gas supply is confirmed sound and the appliance is set to run to manufacturer specifications. Once everything is compliant, the gas safety certificate is issued.
A califont heats water as it flows through the unit, so heating cost applies only when hot water is used. There is no cylinder storing heated water, which saves space and cuts standing energy losses.
It suits smaller households or homes wanting continuous hot water without a large tank.
Most gas hob installations take a few hours, depending on whether the gas line already exists. The hob is connected, tested for leaks and checked for safe flame operation.
If new gas piping or cabinetry cuts are needed the job may take longer, so timing is confirmed before starting.
Gas hot water systems heat water faster and often cost less to run than electric. They recover quickly, so hot water is less likely to run out during busy mornings.
Continuous flow gas systems supply hot water on demand, while gas storage cylinders suit larger households wanting a steady supply.
Most setups can be converted to gas hot water where a suitable gas supply is available. We assess the current system, check the connection point and confirm any piping or upgrades needed.
From there the right califont or gas cylinder is installed, sized to match household demand.
