Gas Fitting and Gas Leak Detection
Smell Gas or Need an Appliance Connected?
Hydrauflo Plumbing is a licensed and insured plumbing business carrying out gas fitting, gas leak detection and gas appliance connections for homeowners across Western Sydney.
If You Can Smell Gas Right Now
- Do not use light switches, power points, phones or anything with a flame.
- Open doors and windows if you can do so safely.
- Turn the gas off at the meter only if it is safe to reach.
- Leave the building and take everyone with you.
- From outside, call the gas emergency number printed on your gas bill or on your gas meter.
If anyone is unwell or in immediate danger, call 000 first. Do not wait for a plumber before leaving.
Gas Work Hydrauflo Can Help With
Tell Hydrauflo what you need connected, checked or repaired. The job is assessed before a method and a price are confirmed.
General gas fitting for homes across Western Sydney, from a single appliance connection through to new gas lines around the property.
If you suspect a leak, the gas line and appliances can be tested to find where gas is escaping so the right repair can be worked out.
New cooktops and ovens connected, tested and checked over before the appliance is handed back to you.
Gas connections for hot water systems, whether the unit is being replaced or a new one is going in.
Gas heaters connected and tested. Existing heater connections can be checked if you are unsure about one.
A gas point run to an outdoor kitchen, patio or BBQ area so you are not swapping bottles.
New gas lines run to where an appliance is going, sized for the appliances the line has to supply.
Existing gas lines extended, rerouted or altered during a renovation or when an appliance moves.
Damaged or leaking gas pipework repaired or replaced, depending on what the assessment finds.
Appliances safely disconnected and lines capped off when a gas appliance is being removed or replaced.
Work on both natural gas and LPG installations. Tell Hydrauflo which one you have and what the appliance is.
Where the regulations require a certificate of compliance for gas fitting work, Hydrauflo will explain what applies to your job.
Book a Gas Fitter
Tell Hydrauflo the appliance, whether your property runs on natural gas or LPG, and what you need done. You will be contacted to discuss the job, current availability and the next step.
If you can smell gas right now, leave the property and call the gas emergency number on your bill or meter before you do anything else.

Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Natural gas and LPG have no smell of their own. A strong smelling additive is put in so a leak can be noticed, which is why that rotten egg smell is the sign most people know. It is not the only one.
- A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line, meter or appliance.
- A pilot light that keeps going out.
- A burner flame that is yellow or orange rather than blue.
- Soot or dark marks around an appliance.
- A gas bill that has climbed with no change in how much gas you use.
- Dead or dying grass in a line across the yard where nothing else explains it.
If you notice any of these, stop using the appliance and have it looked at. A gas appliance that is faulty or poorly ventilated can produce carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell. That is worth taking seriously even when nothing smells wrong.
Why Gas Work Needs a Licensed Gas Fitter
In New South Wales, gas fitting work has to be carried out by a licensed person. That is not a formality. Connecting an appliance involves sizing the supply, making the joints correctly, testing the line for leaks and checking the appliance runs the way it is meant to once it is connected.
Buying an appliance and having someone connect it informally is a genuinely bad idea. Beyond the safety risk, unlicensed gas work can affect an appliance warranty and can cause problems at the time of a property sale or an insurance claim.
