Gas Repairs

Signs Your Home Needs a Gas Repair

Issues with your gas appliances aren’t always obvious. Sometimes, you’ll notice a small thing like your gas oven isn’t working as well as it used to. Other times, there will be obvious red flags that need to be investigated immediately.

Keep an eye out for these common signs that you need one of your gas fitters to inspect your appliances:

• Gas Appliances Won’t Ignite: Your gas cooktop, heater, or hot water system won’t turn on or keeps having problems.

• Unusual Flame Colour: If your gas cooktop produces consistent orange, yellow, or red flames instead of the normal blue, there is a serious problem.

• Inconsistent Hot Water: You’ve noticed your gas hot water system is struggling to maintain a consistent temperature or stop heating altogether.

• Unusual, Foul Smells: There is a strong, rotten egg smell near your gas appliances, pipes or connections.

• Visible Damage to Gas Pipework: Pipes are damaged, have moved or cracked. There could also be hissing sounds nearby.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to call one of our licensed and insured gas fitters. Using the latest tools, they will thoroughly inspect your property for signs of leaks and damage and get to the bottom of the problem quickly and effectively.

What Gas Problems Can We Fix?

When experiencing a problem with your gas appliances, it can quickly impact every aspect of your day-to-day life, from cooking to taking a comforting hot shower. Identifying where the problem is coming from helps our gas fitters to determine the best course of action and what work is needed to fix it.

Our team of gas fitters have years of experience repairing a wide variety of gas appliances all over Brisbane, including:

Gas Cooktop and Stove Repairs

This is probably the most inconvenient gas problem you can face. A malfunctioning gas cooktop or stove causes your daily routine to come to a complete standstill. Gas cooktop problems might involve the ignition system not lighting properly, blocked burners, gas supply or connections. Inspecting the whole appliance can help our gas fitters to narrow down the issues 

Gas Hot Water System Repairs

A faulty gas hot water system will impact your whole household, especially if you have a large family - nobody likes cold showers!

Evermore Plumbing’s team has been helping Brisbane homeowners get their gas hot water systems back up and running for decades. Our team repair all sorts of issues like no hot water, fluctuating water temperatures, unexpected shutdowns and breakdowns and leaks.

Gas Pipe and Connection Repairs

Gas pipe and connection problems can arise from damaged pipework, deteriorated fittings, leaking joints or changes made during renovations and appliance installations.

You may need a gas plumber if you notice:

• A smell of gas near an appliance or gas connection.

• Hissing sounds around gas pipework.

• Visible damage to an accessible gas pipe.

• An unexpected interruption to the gas supply.

Not every gas supply problem is caused by damaged pipework, so the system needs to be assessed to identify the source of the fault.

Evermore Plumbing's team can inspect gas pipework and connections within our service scope, identify the required work and explain the appropriate repair options. Remember Gas repairs should always be carried out by a suitably licensed gas fitter.

What To Do If You Suspect A Gas Leak In Your Home

A gas leak is incredibly serious. Natural gas is very flammable and a leak can quickly cause fires and explosions if not noticed quickly enough.

If you smell gas in your home or think you have a gas leak, you need to act quickly and follow these steps:

1. Don’t use any appliances or equipment that can create a spark or light any matches
2. Evacuate the building, including pets. On your way out, open all the windows and leave the doors open if it’s safe to do so.
3. Get to a safe place far away from your home and contact emergency services as well as our gas fitters.

Don’t go back into your home until the leak has been inspected, assessed and deemed safe by one of our professional gas fitters.

Do I Repair Or Replace My Gas Appliance?

This is a common question our gas fitters get asked while on the job. The right answer depends on your specific gas appliance and the intent of the damage.

You should consider repairing your gas appliance if:

• The fault can be identified and isolated
• There are replacement parts easily available
• Your appliance is under 10 years old
• The repair is cost-effective and is under 50% of the total cost of a new appliance

You should replace your gas appliance if:

• You have safety concerns about the appliance, like red flames or carbon monoxide risks
• The appliance is over 10 years old
• The cost to repair it is too high

At Evermore Plumbing, we believe our customers should fully understand their options before making a decision. Our gas fitters assess the problem and will help you understand any recommendations we have.
