Gas emergency
Natural gas and LPG are given a strong rotten-egg odour so you notice a leak early. If you can smell gas or hear hissing near a meter or appliance, treat it as urgent and act before you call. A licensed gas plumber should always find and fix the source.
Leave the area and get everyone into fresh air.
Do not touch light switches, power points, flames or the stove.
Turn the gas off at the meter only if it is safe to reach.
Open doors and windows on your way out to ventilate.
Call Apex from outside on 1300 096 668 for emergency gas help.
Appliance installs
Planning a kitchen, laundry or outdoor upgrade? Here is a plain guide to common gas appliance installs. Final pricing depends on the appliance, the existing gas point, and any new pipework, so we confirm a fixed quote before we start. Where a job needs a new run, see new gas line installation.
Coordinated with your renovation
Because Apex is a full plumbing service, gas work can be booked alongside kitchen, laundry, bathroom and hot water plumbing. One licensed team, one point of contact, and a gas cooktop installation or gas oven installation timed to land with the rest of the trades.

Compliance
Most gas work in NSW needs a gas compliance certificate NSW law recognises as proof the job was done and tested by a licensed gasfitter. Competitors rarely explain it, so here is the plain version. When Apex finishes your gas work, you get the certificate that keeps your gas supply legal and your warranty and insurance intact.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms your gas installation meets AS/NZS 5601.1, the national gas installation standard. It is a licensed gasfitter declaring, in writing, that the work is safe and to code. A compliance plate is also fixed near the appliance or meter.
Standard
Work certified against AS/NZS 5601.1, the gas installation standard.
Timing
Issued within 5 business days of completing the work.
Lodgement
Submitted through the BCNSW eCert portal (this replaced MyInspections for gas from 1 March 2026).
Plate
A gas compliance plate is affixed at the installation, usually near the appliance or meter.
Who
Only a licensed gasfitter can carry out the work and issue the certificate.

Gas safety
A faulty gas appliance can leak gas or produce carbon monoxide, a gas you cannot see or smell. Knowing the early signs helps you act before it becomes dangerous. If you notice any of these, stop using the appliance and book a licensed gasfitter.
