Kitchen Gas Work
New Cooktops Connected the Right Way
A new gas cooktop has to be connected, leak tested and matched to the gas the house runs on before it is safe to cook on. In Western Australia, that work can only be done by someone who holds a gasfitting licence. Epi holds Gasfitting Permit GF24860, which covers installing and servicing appliances on natural gas and LPG.
Epi is a plumber and a gasfitter in one, so he also takes care of everyday plumbing around Atwell. If the kitchen tap drips or the sink drains slowly, mention it when you book the cooktop.
Most kitchen gas jobs are a cooktop swap or a new oven. Some homes run on mains natural gas and others on bottled LPG, and the two need different parts and settings. Getting that match right is the first thing Epi checks.
What We Install
Gas Appliances Epi Connects
Every gas installation follows the same pattern: the right fittings, a leak test, a check that each burner lights and burns cleanly, then the paperwork. Here is what that looks like for each type of job.
Gas Cooktop Installation
Swapping an old gas cooktop for a new one is the most common kitchen gas job. Epi disconnects the old unit, checks the gas point under the bench and fits the new cooktop with the right connector. Then the connection is leak tested and every burner is lit and checked.
If the new cooktop is a different size, the benchtop opening has to change before it can go in. Send the model number when you book, and Epi can check the fit and the gas connection before the day.
Gas Appliance Installation
A gas oven or an upright cooker needs the same care as a cooktop. It has to sit in the right spot, with the gas connection reachable and clear of hot surfaces. Epi connects ovens, upright cookers and other household gas appliances, then tests each one before handover.
Not sure whether a new appliance suits the gas at the house? Send the brand and model with the quote request, and Epi will check it before you commit.
Natural Gas and LPG Appliances
Gasfitting Permit GF24860 covers installing and servicing appliances on both natural gas and LPG. Many cooktops and ovens leave the factory set up for one gas and need different parts to run on the other.
Before any appliance is lit, Epi checks that it matches the supply at the house. When the two match, the flames burn blue and steady instead of yellow, sooty or lifting off the burner.
Notice of Completion
Installing or replacing a gas appliance is notifiable gasfitting work in WA. The gas fitter must lodge a Notice of Completion within 48 hours of finishing, with a copy to the gas supplier and to the customer.
The notice certifies that the work complies and is safe. Epi lodges one for every gas installation, so you keep a record of the job for the house file, a future sale or an insurer.
Kind Words From Locals
Homeowners on Working With Epi
Every review Epi has on Google is five stars. Read a few in the homeowners’ own words.
5-Star Rated on Google
Epi was quick and efficient. Changed out the tap and noticed that one of the other hoses under our sink was worn. Caught it before it burst and saved us a big clean up and bill. Good quality work and reliable, use him for all our maintenance and Reno's from now on.
Had my whole house in Yanchep plumbed by him and his team and couldn’t be happier with the work. Great service, quality workmanship and easy to deal with throughout the job. Would happily recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended
I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. From start to finish, the plumber was professional, reliable, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and everything was completed with great attention to detail.
They took the time to explain the work clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done properly. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about their customers, and goes above and beyond expectations.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber who delivers quality work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.
Top class service from start to finish, highly recommend!
Signs It Is Time
When to Replace an Old Cooktop
Most gas cooktops give plenty of warning before they need replacing. These are the signs that a new one is worth pricing up.
Yellow or Uneven Flames
Flames that burn yellow, flicker or leave soot on the bottom of pots usually mean a burner is not burning cleanly.
Burners That Won’t Light
Igniters that click without lighting, or burners that go out when turned down low, are common on ageing cooktops.
Worn Knobs and Controls
Cracked knobs, loose controls and rusted trivets make an old cooktop harder to use with confidence.
Repairs Adding Up
When the same cooktop needs parts again and again, a new one is often the simpler choice.
A Kitchen Refresh
A new benchtop or kitchen update is a natural time to fit a cooktop that suits the space and the way you cook.
Switching From Electric
Moving from an electric cooktop to gas needs a gas point in the kitchen first. Mention it when you book.
Step By Step
How a Cooktop Install Runs
Five steps from your first call to cooking on the new cooktop. You know the price before any work starts.
Send the Model
Call or send the form with the appliance, its model number if you have it and your suburb.
Priced First
Most cooktop swaps can be priced over the phone. Bigger changes get a look on site first, and the quote is free either way.
Fitted & Connected
The old unit comes out and the new appliance goes in with the right fittings for the gas at the house.
Leak Tested
The connection is leak tested, then every burner is lit and checked before anyone cooks on it.
Handed Over
Epi runs through the controls with you, and the Notice of Completion is lodged within 48 hours.
Planning Ahead
Getting the Kitchen Ready
Look for the data plate under the new cooktop or in its manual. It says whether the unit is set up for natural gas or LPG, and Epi will check it too.
Measure the old cutout and compare it with the new cooktop’s cutout size in the manual. A matching size keeps the swap simple. A different size means the benchtop opening has to change before the cooktop goes in.
Clear the cupboard under the cooktop so the gas connection is easy to reach. If the kitchen has no gas point yet, say so when you book, as a new line has to be run before anything can be connected.
Keep the manual and the packaging until the job is done. The installation instructions set out the clearances the cooktop needs from the rangehood, the walls and the bench edges, and Epi works to them.

Good to Know
Questions About Gas Cooktop Installation
Straight answers on cooktops, ovens, natural gas and LPG, and the paperwork that comes with the job. Can’t see your question? Call or send the form.
How much does gas cooktop installation cost in Atwell?
The price of gas cooktop installation depends on the cooktop, the gas connection and whether the benchtop opening needs to change. Most straight swaps can be priced over the phone, and every quote is free.
Can I install a gas cooktop myself?
No. In WA, only a person holding a gasfitting licence issued by Building and Energy may carry out gasfitting work, and connecting a cooktop is gasfitting work. A DIY connection also leaves the house with no Notice of Completion.
Can a natural gas cooktop run on LPG?
Not without being set up for it. Natural gas and LPG need different parts and settings, so the cooktop has to match the gas at the house. Epi checks this before any appliance is lit.
What is a Notice of Completion?
It is the record a gas fitter lodges after gasfitting work, certifying that the work complies and is safe. The Notice of Completion must be lodged within 48 hours of finishing, with a copy to the gas supplier and to the customer.
Do you install gas ovens as well as cooktops?
Yes. Gas appliance installation covers ovens and upright cookers as well as cooktops, on natural gas or LPG. Each one is connected, leak tested and checked before it is handed over.

Yes, Epi does gas cooktop installation across the Cockburn, Kwinana, Rockingham and Mandurah areas, including Wandi, Baldivis, Secret Harbour and Lakelands. Not sure about your suburb? Call and ask.
