New Gas Connections
Check supply availability at the actual address
A nearby gas main does not establish that a particular property can be connected on the terms or timing you expect. Availability needs to be confirmed for the address.
Contact the relevant supplier about a mains connection. If mains supply is not available, an LPG installation is a separate option to assess against the property and intended appliances.
New Gas Connections
Separate the supply contract from the gasfitting
The retailer, network and gasfitter may handle different parts of a new connection. A gasfitting quote should not be taken as confirmation of a supply contract or network installation date.
Identify who is arranging the supply and who is responsible for installation work on the property. Written scope boundaries help avoid gaps between those responsibilities.

Choose the supply point with the site layout in mind
The position of the supply equipment affects the route to appliances and access for future work. Site boundaries, building access and other planned services can influence the proposal.
Discuss the location before landscaping or construction makes changes difficult. Supplier requirements and the property installation need to be coordinated.
New Gas Connections
Build an appliance schedule for the connection
List the equipment you intend to install and identify the fuel type each model requires. Gas cooking, heating and hot water may create different demands on the overall installation.
Provide product information before finalising the connection plan. Changes to the appliance schedule can affect the property-side pipework and other installation requirements.
New Gas Connections
Coordinate the connection with the building programme
Supply work, property pipework and appliance commissioning are separate milestones. Each depends on site readiness and the availability of the parties involved.
Agree which tasks must happen before the next trade attends. Avoid booking a final appliance visit solely on an estimated supply date that has not been confirmed.
New Gas Connections
Compare the complete connection budget
A new supply can involve supplier charges, site work, private pipework and appliance installation. Ongoing energy charges sit outside the installation quote.
Ask for an itemised view of responsibilities so you can compare the complete project. Confirm which works are included rather than relying on a single connection-price headline.
New Gas Connections
Confirm readiness before the first use
A supply becoming available does not by itself complete the appliance installation. The gasfitter still needs to address the applicable commissioning and handover work.
Keep the supplier details, installation records and appliance instructions together. Ask who to contact about a billing issue, a supply interruption or an installation concern.
Use an appropriately licensed gasfitter for gasfitting work. Check the PGDB register.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you guarantee mains gas is available at my address?
Availability must be confirmed with the relevant supplier or network. A nearby connection is not a guarantee for another property.
Are supplier charges part of the gasfitting quote?
Only if expressly included. Confirm the supply-side and property-side costs separately.
Is an LPG installation the same as a new mains connection?
No. LPG uses a stored supply and has different equipment, delivery and site requirements.
