Heater Installs
Furnaces and space heaters are connected to tested lines, flued where the appliance requires it, and commissioned with the unit running so it heats the room it was sized for.

Gas Work Around Lawnton
Gas is not a DIY trade, and it is not a side job for a handyman either. Every gas repair, install and connection we do is carried out under QBCC No: 15024607, which covers plumbing and drainage and gasfitting.
What Gas Work Means Here
Houses that grew with their appliances
As the suburb expanded out from Petrie and Strathpine, brick-veneer homes built from the 1960s onward frequently still use wall heaters and cooktops fed by copper lines installed decades back, and we pressure-test those runs prior to connecting anything new.
Townhouse rows with shared runs
The 1980s group-title complexes near Station Road and West Dianne Street carry gas to several units from common lines, so a fault in one courtyard can belong to the body corporate rather than the owner, and we sort out ownership before quoting.
Low blocks and flood levels
Council mapping takes in most of Lawnton for flood planning, after the January 2011 rise forced short-notice evacuations here, so outdoor appliances and bayonet points near the river streets get set and anchored with high water in mind.
First cold snaps
Winters are mild but the river junction keeps low ground damp and cold snaps bite, and that is when ageing pilots and perished heater hoses on Paisley Drive and Francis Road blocks start generating calls.
Core Gas Services
Lawnton Plumber covers this range of gas work for homes and units throughout the suburb:
Cooktop Connections
New cooktops and ovens are disconnected, reconnected and leak-tested, with perished hoses and isolation valves replaced rather than reused, and each appliance tested running before we pack the van up.
Bayonet Points
New bayonet outlets for portable heaters are run from the existing line, pressure-tested on completion, and capped off when not in use so each bayonet point stays safe between winters.
Gas Line Repairs
Corroded or damaged copper is traced, cut out and replaced section by section, then the whole run from the meter to the appliance is fully pressure-tested before anything is relit.
Appliance Repairs
Pilots, thermocouples, thermostats and burners on heaters and cooktops are repaired or replaced, with the unit lit, tuned and checked in the room it serves before we call it finished.
Compliance Checks
Existing installations are inspected, leak-tested and fully documented, so a property sale, a tenancy or a body corporate audit always has current paperwork sitting right behind it when asked for.

Common Gas Problems
A Pilot That Keeps Going Out
A thermocouple worn past its useful life shuts the gas off as a safety measure, and replacing that small part usually restores a heater that has been stubborn all winter.
A Yellow Or Lazy Flame
Burners adjusted wrongly or clogged with dust and cooking residue burn yellow instead of blue, which soots the appliance and signals incomplete combustion, so we strip, clean and tune them.
A Perished Hose
The connector behind a heater or cooktop cracks with age, and a hose that was fine last winter can weep this one, so suspect hoses are replaced on the spot.
A Faint Smell Outside
A gas smell near the meter or along a buried run can mean a weeping joint, and any smell at all is worth a licensed check rather than a wait-and-see.
Why Gas Work Matters
Safety is the obvious reason, but there are practical ones too:
Efficiency
A heater running on a tired thermocouple or a badly tuned burner uses more gas for less warmth. A proper service pays for itself across a winter of cold snaps.
Paperwork
Gas work in Queensland needs a licensed gasfitter and the right compliance documentation. Unlicensed work has to be found and redone when a property changes hands.
The right fix
A smell traced to a perished hose is a ten-minute job, while the same smell left until the line corrodes becomes an excavation. Early calls keep the job small.

Gas Fitting Questions From Lawnton
Call (07) 3067 4289Do the 1960s houses around Todds Road need new gas pipe for a modern heater?
Often yes, because the original copper runs were sized for older appliances, so we pressure-test the existing line first and quote any pipe upgrade before the new heater goes in.
Who is responsible for a gas heater in a Lawnton townhouse, the owner or the body corporate?
The heater inside your unit is yours, while shared gas lines between units usually sit with the body corporate, so we confirm which side of the meter the fault is on before quoting.
Does a gas cooktop swap in Lawnton need a compliance certificate?
Yes, gas work in Queensland is licensed work, so the cooktop is connected under QBCC No: 15024607 and you receive the installation paperwork once the job is finished and tested.
Can you run a gas line to an outdoor BBQ area on a low-lying Lawnton block?
We can, and because much of the suburb sits in the mapped flood planning area, we set the line and bayonet well above flood levels and anchor anything the river could reach.
Does Unitywater look after the gas pipes at my Lawnton property?
No, Unitywater looks after the public water and sewer mains, while every gas pipe and fitting from the meter inward is the property owner's responsibility to look after.
