Frequently asked questions

What do Johannesburg gas installers charge?

A hob install starts from about R1 900, and a fitted gas geyser runs R4 000 – R13 500. Cages, flues and long pipe runs cost extra.

Do I need sign-off from the City of Johannesburg before my gas gets installed?

Every fixed installation needs a SAQCC Gas installer and a CoC. Over 100 kg of LPG on one stand needs fire department approval. Aircon jobs have their own CoC rules, covered in this guide to aircon repairs.

Which gas system fits a Joburg home, flat or office?

Houses can use outdoor cylinders in a cage, while flats are limited to 9 kg indoors. Offices and commercial kitchens often need plans, so ask City of Johannesburg building control.

I live in a complex. Who approves my gas installation?

The body corporate or HOA usually approves first, especially for drilling and shared-area pipework. Many also ask to see the CoC afterwards.

Is piped natural gas available at my Johannesburg home?

Egoli Gas pipes natural gas to many established parts of the city. Ask your installer to confirm whether your stand is on the network.
