Gasfitters in South Auckland -- Find Licensed Local Gas Professionals
Gas work is one of the most tightly regulated trades in New Zealand, and for good reason -- poorly installed or maintained gas systems can cause fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Every piece of gas work in a South Auckland home or business, from installing a gas hob to repairing a gas heater, must be carried out by a PGDB-registered gasfitter. FPNZ makes it easy to find one you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I smell a gas leak in my South Auckland home?
Natural gas is odourless but NZ gas suppliers add mercaptan -- a rotten egg smell -- as a safety measure. If you smell gas, leave the property immediately without using any switches or appliances, call the gas emergency line (0800 764 764 for Gas Services), and do not re-enter until the property has been checked. Contact a PGDB-registered gasfitter to inspect the installation before using gas again.
Can a plumber do gas work in South Auckland?
Only if they also hold a separate PGDB gasfitter registration. A plumber without a gasfitter licence cannot legally carry out any gas work. Always ask specifically for the gasfitter registration and verify it at pgdb.co.nz.
What is a Certificate of Compliance for gas work?
A Certificate of Compliance (CoC) is a legal document issued by the gasfitter confirming that the work complies with NZ gas safety regulations. You must receive a CoC for every gas job completed at your South Auckland property. Keep it in a safe place -- it may be required by your insurer and at the time of property sale.
