Finding A Qualified Gas Installer

In terms of the Pressure Equipment Regulations, all Gas Installers are required by law to be registered qualified with the LP Gas Association of SA, & must be registered with the South African Qualification and Certification Commitee for Gas (SAQCCGas).

HOW TO FIND A LIST OF QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLERS IN YOUR AREA

•  Go to the SAQCCGAS website  http://saqccgas.co.za/gas-practioners/registration-categories-per-assoc/ BEFORE GOING TO THIS SITE, PLEASE READ THE TIPS BELOW. 
• In the search box which will appear, ignore the first few lines and do your  search by ‘ TOWN & SUBURB’  – use the name of larger areas (eg Randburg or Sandton) rather than smaller suburbs which fall within a  larger area.
• The Gas Name for most parts of S.A. is ‘LPG’. If however you live in an area which has underground piped Natural Gas (mostly older suburbs of Johannesburg & a few new Estates in Centurion) you need to choose ‘NG’ as the Gas Type.
• The Skill will be ‘DOMESTIC/ RESIDENTIAL ’ if the installation is for a home/ cottage/ flat / etc. If you are needing an installation for a restaurant/factory/ shop/ hotel  you will need to use the ‘COMMERCIAL’ Skill .

TIPS

•  Once you have a list of qualified installers in your area, call a few for quotes (prices can vary a lot).
• You are never obliged to buy your gas appliances  from your installer.
• Always establish if your chosen installer has had experience installing the brand of gas geyser you have chosen. This particularly applies to Bosch, Paloma and Rinnai gas geysers.

•  We do not do installations of gas appliances and cannot take responsibility for the workmanship and level of service of any gas installer, as per our Terms and Conditions of Business (contact us for a full copy of these, or visit the Terms and Conditions page on this website for the Online version of them)
