Gas Installers Kraaifontein work a mostly residential market with a strong value focus. The question here is usually what the cheapest compliant way to get a gas hob running is, rather than how to specify a four-appliance system.
Hobs, cylinder installations, repairs and certificates make up most of the enquiries.
Say what the appliance is and whether this is new work, a repair or a certificate.

The cheapest compliant hob installation is a cylinder on the outside of the kitchen wall with a short run through it. If your kitchen backs onto an external wall, say so in the enquiry, because it is the difference between the bottom and the top of the range below.

Compare Local QuotesKeeping the Cost Down
- Cylinder next to the kitchen wall. The shorter the run, the cheaper the job. Two metres of copper versus fifteen is thousands of rand.
- Surface run instead of chased. Roughly 40 percent cheaper on the pipework and no plasterer or painter behind it.
- 9kg or 19kg for a hob. Only step up to 48kg if a geyser is coming.
- Confirm the certificate is included. It is the line most often quoted separately, and it is what makes two quotes look different when they are not.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to get a gas hob installed?
A cylinder positioned outside the kitchen wall with a short run through it, surface-clipped rather than chased, on a 9kg or 19kg cylinder. That combination typically lands at R4,500 to R6,500 including the certificate but excluding the hob.
How much does gas cost to run compared with electricity?
For cooking, gas is generally cheaper and faster. A 9kg cylinder runs a four-plate hob for four to eight weeks in a typical household and costs R280 to R400 to exchange, though the regulated LPG price changes monthly.
Do I need a certificate for a gas hob?
Yes. Any fixed gas appliance connection requires a registered installer and a certificate of conformity, issued on completion and again whenever the hob is replaced.
Can I use a cheaper installer who is not registered?
No installer without authorised person registration can certify their own work, so you would pay a second person to inspect it, and most will refuse to certify pipework they did not install. It ends up more expensive, not less.
What size cylinder for a hob only?
9kg suits daily use and lasts four to eight weeks. 19kg lasts longer and costs less per kilogram to refill. Only go to 48kg if a geyser or fireplace is planned.
How much is a gas CoC in Kraaifontein?
R950 to R2,200 for a single-appliance installation, which covers most homes here.
