Gas Installers Crossroads deal mainly with business premises and the formal housing, because most household cooking here runs on portable appliances that need no installer at all.
Where an installer genuinely helps is a fixed installation, a suspected leak, or a shop that needs a certificate.
Send your street, the appliance and whether there is already gas at the property.

Cylinder Safety in Dense Housing
- Ventilation matters most where space is tight. Never run gas in a closed room, and keep a door or window open while cooking.
- Keep spare cylinders outside. A spare stored indoors is the most common avoidable risk, and it matters more where structures share walls.
- Exchange, never decant. Decanted cylinders are illegal, often overfilled and genuinely dangerous.
- Replace a cracked hose immediately. A few hundred rand, and it is the part that fails most.
Exchange cylinders at a licensed supplier, hardware store or fuel station. Avoid anyone filling cylinders by decanting, which is illegal and frequently leaves them overfilled. Look over the hose for cracks or stiffness before connecting, and never store a spare cylinder inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an installer to connect a gas cooker?
Not for a portable appliance on a hose. That is not a fixed installation, it needs no installer and no certificate. An installer is needed once the pipework is permanent.
I can smell gas but cannot find the leak, what now?
Close the cylinder valve, open up, do not switch anything on or off and get everyone outside. Call your supplier or the City on 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a mobile. A leak test afterwards runs R900 to R2,400.
Why are decanted cylinders dangerous?
They are filled by transferring gas from one cylinder to another, outside any safety control. They are frequently overfilled and the valves are often damaged. Always exchange at a licensed outlet.
What does a spaza shop need to certify?
Where appliances are fixed to the premises, R2,500 to R6,500 covers inspection and certificate for a small shop with two or three appliances.
How often should I replace the gas hose?
At the first sign of cracking, perishing or stiffness, and as a matter of course every couple of years. It costs R250 to R750 including a regulator.
