The who, what and why of gas fitting

Are you using or considering the use of gas in your Wellington home? If so, then there is a good chance you’ll be needing the help of a gas fitter. For your own safety, it is important that you only employ a licensed professional gas fitter to install or repair any gas related appliances and systems in your home. 

Your Wellington gas fitter should ensure that all connections and appliances used in your home are safe and pose no danger to you or anyone living in your property. The team at Maxey Wellington are experienced gas fitters: they work effectively to maintain or repair your gas appliances with care and consideration. 

But what is a gas fitter? 

Simply put, a gas fitter is a person who is qualified to install and service natural gas fixtures and appliances, both residential, and commercial or industrial. If you see a company that advertises both plumbing and gas fitting services, you should note that these are two very separate jobs! 

Both are easily handled by the reliable team at Maxey Plumbing Wellington. 

Uses for gas in your home

Heating

Heating your water or home with natural gas can sometimes be more cost effective and environmentally friendly than some electricity options on the market! A natural gas water heater can heat up twice as much water in the same allotment of time as an electrical unit – it’s fast, effective and  efficient! Keep the hot showers coming because – with a gas water heating system – it’s not like the hot water will be running out anytime soon! 

Cooking

Anyone who doesn’t have a gas hob wants one: it’s common knowledge. Cooking with gas can have us feeling as though we’re on an episode of Masterchef – something about those dancing blue flames is just so much more satisfying than the dull red of an electric stovetop. Gas cooking is affordable and extremely effective: flames can tend to cook food quicker and more evenly, and they provide experienced cooks with more options as far as grilling and toasting ones food goes. 

We hope you feel a little more enlightened on the subject of gas fitting. Perhaps all this talk of gas has sparked an interest – if you’ll excuse the pun – and you might now be considering installing a gas system in your own home?
