If you intend to use natural gas in your home or business, you will need to enlist the services of an experienced and licensed gasfitter. They will help to ensure that your system is hooked up properly and, crucially, is configured so that all of your appliances work properly and with due deference to safety. What will their work entail?

Planning Installation

To begin with, the fitter will analyse your property and will take a very close look at the building design and architectural plans. They will need to determine how to run all the various lines once they have connected everything to the mains supply, from a practical point of view. They'll also be responsible for connecting the installed lines to each of your appliances and, in turn, making sure that those appliances function as they should.

Mains Connection

You will need to bring in a fully licensed fitter before the gas service will allow you to access the mains supply. This is a potentially dangerous operation, as they connect everything to ensure that you get the right amount of gas to perform your everyday work. Remember, gas is highly flammable, and any issues here could lead to a major outage and interruption, so these experts have to know how to tap into the lines directly and connect everything safely.

Service Equipment

A fitter will also need to install other items of equipment within your property, such as a gas meter and various regulators. These will have to be installed in an accessible but safe place, as they will determine how well each of your appliances works and how much gas you use through your account. They may also install a safety system to detect any leaking gas and install a safety flue, so that waste gas can exit the property if needed.

Future Needs

Ensure that you choose a professional who has been in business for some time and is likely to be around for the long haul. After all, you will need them to look at your lines and fittings in the future, to make sure that everything is still working perfectly well. You will also need to call on their services should you encounter a problem related to service quality or any part of the installation.

Getting to Work

Once you are ready to move ahead, bring in a gasfitter to get the gasfitting work underway.
