0450 963 633Gas Fitter in Chapel Hill, Brisbane
Chapel Hill homes climb the western slopes of Mt Coot-tha, with many backing straight onto bushland. Natural gas reaches only parts of the suburb, so plenty of households cook, heat water or run a barbecue on LPG. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, just over the mountain, and carries out licensed gas fitting in Chapel Hill. Call 0450 963 633.
Cylinders on a sloping block
Steep driveways and split-level houses make cylinder placement the first thing to get right. The bottles need a solid, level base, clearance from windows, doors, drains and ignition sources, and a safe path for the delivery driver. Moving cylinders from an awkward spot halfway down a bank to a better position near the driveway is a common Chapel Hill job, and it means rerouting the supply line with it.
Living next to the bush
For homes on the bushland edge, keep the area around LPG cylinders clear of leaf litter, mulch and stacked firewood. Check flexible hoses on barbecues for cracking, and replace old regulators when a gasfitter recommends it. Any change to a cylinder installation should be done by a licensed gasfitter, not by moving the bottles yourself.

Swapping an old gas heater
Older Chapel Hill homes sometimes still have a flued gas wall heater or an indoor bayonet that no longer gets used. These can be serviced, replaced or safely disconnected and capped. Any installation or alteration finishes with a gas system compliance certificate, which the owner keeps.
