Older homes in Riccarton and Fendalton, 1940s to 1960s subdivisions in Ilam, Avonhead and Burnside, homes beside industry in Hornby and new subdivisions at Wigram. Thinking about a gas hob, instant hot water or an outdoor heater at your West Christchurch home? We plan where the bottles go, run the pipe, connect the appliance, test for leaks and give you the gas certificate the law requires.
Gas fitting in West Christchurch: Fendalton homes, Ilam rentals and Wigram builds
West Christchurch includes established homes in Riccarton and Fendalton, post war houses in Burnside, rentals around the University of Canterbury in Ilam and new builds at Wigram. Gas work varies with the house. In older homes we often find redundant pipe from earlier heaters or the former coal gas network, which we cap before installing new LPG appliances.
In Ilam rentals, landlords often choose LPG continuous flow hot water so tenants never run short, and the bottles need to sit where deliveries are easy. In Fendalton, larger homes may run several appliances, such as a hob, a fire and outdoor heating, and a bulk tank can make more sense than bottles. We size the supply so every appliance gets the right pressure at the same time.
At Wigram, homes on the former aerodrome are new, and owners commonly add an outdoor point or instant hot water. Hornby's commercial kitchens and workshops call for bigger LPG capacity, heavy duty burners and emergency shut off valves. Every job is leak tested and certified, and we leave you with the gas certificate for your records.
In Burnside, many post war homes now have outdoor living added at the back, and owners often want a gas point for a heater or barbecue there. We run the line from the existing bottles where the pressure allows, or set up a separate supply. In Riccarton, older homes near Riccarton Bush often have mature gardens, and we route buried pipe to avoid tree roots and keep bottles clear of falling branches.
Local tip: If you rent out a home in Ilam, ask us about an automatic changeover regulator so tenants do not run out of gas.
