Gas Plumbing — Your Questions Answered

Do you do both plumbing and gas in Christchurch?

Yes. Plumbing and gasfitting are separately licensed trades in New Zealand and Inline holds both, so one team can run the water and the gas on the same job rather than you coordinating two contractors. That matters most on gas hot water in Christchurch, where the install touches both trades.

Do I need a licensed gasfitter in New Zealand?

Yes. Gasfitting is restricted work under the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act, and only a licensed gasfitter may carry it out. Doing it unlicensed is an offence carrying fines of up to $10,000 for an individual. Inline's gasfitters are PGDB-licensed and every job is certified.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Turn the gas off at the meter or bottle, do not operate any electrical switches or create a flame or spark, open doors and windows to ventilate, and get everyone out if the smell is strong. Then call a licensed gasfitter. Inline treats suspected gas leaks as emergencies — call 03 377 5806.

Is gas or electric hot water cheaper in Christchurch?

Gas continuous-flow systems heat water only as you use it, which suits households with high or unpredictable demand, while electric storage cylinders are usually cheaper to install. The right answer depends on whether you have reticulated gas or bottles, your household's usage pattern, and the space available. We will give you a straight comparison for your home rather than a default recommendation.

Can you install a gas cooktop where there is no gas point?

Yes. We can run a new gas line to the appliance, connect it to your existing reticulated supply or bottles, and certify the installation. Where a new bottle or meter connection is needed we arrange that as part of the job.

How often should gas appliances be serviced?

Manufacturers generally recommend servicing gas hot water systems and heaters every one to two years. Regular servicing keeps them running efficiently, catches worn components before they fail, and confirms the appliance is burning safely — which matters most for anything flued inside the house.

“Had to call out in the middle of the night and the guy that came out was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to sort what was going on. Highly recommend and will be using again, if needed (hopefully not in the middle of the night again though!!).”
