Gas Installers Mfuleni work in an area with a growing stock of new formal housing, where gas is increasingly installed as a fixed kitchen appliance rather than used only on a portable cylinder.
Fixed hob installations, certificates and small business gas make up the bulk of the enquiries.
A photograph of the kitchen and of where the cylinder could stand is most of the quote.

- Check for an existing gas point. Some newer developments rough one in, which halves the cost of getting a hob running.
- Size for what you will actually add. If a geyser might follow a hob, say so, because the cylinder and the line should be sized for both.
- Keep the certificate. It is the document a buyer or an insurer asks for and it is reissued whenever anything changes.
- Portable use needs nothing. A cylinder and a hose is not a fixed installation.

Have an installer who already works in Mfuleni price the actual job.
Get Mfuleni QuotesBuy gas only from a licensed supplier, a hardware store or a fuel station, where the cylinder is exchanged rather than filled in front of you. Decanted cylinders are illegal and are routinely overfilled. A hose that has gone hard or cracked gets replaced, not taped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my house already have a gas point?
Some newer builds do, usually behind the kitchen units. It is worth having checked, because connecting to an existing point costs about half of a full installation.
How much is a fixed gas hob installation in Mfuleni?
R3,500 to R8,000 excluding the hob for a full installation, or R1,400 to R2,800 where a gas point already exists.
Should I install the geyser at the same time as the hob?
If you are likely to want one, at least size the cylinder and the line for both now. Upsizing afterwards means replacing the pipe run.
Do I need a certificate for a portable cooker?
No. Portable appliances on a hose are not a fixed installation and need no installer or certificate.
What size cylinder should I use?
9kg is common for a hob and lasts four to eight weeks in a typical household. 19kg lasts longer and costs less per kilogram.
How long does a fixed installation take?
Usually half a day for a hob, and most of a day for a gas geyser on a new supply.
