Gas is one of those things that just has to work and has to work safely. Whether it’s your hot water, cooktop, or heating, when something goes wrong with your gas system, it’s not just inconvenient – it can be dangerous and finding someone reliable for gas repairs and installs isn’t always as straightforward as it should be.

At ABA Plumbing & Gas, we have spent years helping Adelaide homeowners sort out their gas plumbing issues quickly and safely. Along the way, we have heard plenty of stories from people who were not so lucky the first time around and faced botched repairs, no-shows, or worse, unlicensed operators cutting corners. So if you are facing gas problems, here is what you should know and how to get the help you can truly trust.

Gas Problems Aren’t Always Obvious—But They’re Always Serious

Not all gas issues come with a dramatic hiss or the smell of rotten eggs. Sometimes it’s a sudden spike in your gas bill. Other times, it’s your hot water cutting out, your heater not firing up, or a faint smell that you can’t quite place.

The important thing? Don’t ignore it. Gas leaks or faults don’t fix themselves, and left unchecked, they can pose serious risks to your health and safety. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s time to call in a professional.

What Makes a Good Gas Plumber?

When it comes to gas, you want more than someone who’s just handy with tools. You need a licensed gas fitter – someone who understands the safety regulations, knows the systems inside and out, and doesn’t leave a job half-done.

Here are a few things to look for:

• Licensing and experience. Always ask if they’re fully licensed for gas work. In South Australia, this is non-negotiable.
• Prompt service. Gas issues can’t wait days. A reliable plumber understands that and offers timely, responsive support.
• Upfront communication. From quoting to explaining the issue, a good tradesperson keeps things clear and honest.
• Local knowledge. Someone who knows Adelaide’s homes, gas infrastructure, and council requirements can spot issues faster and give you better advice.

Avoiding the “Cheap and Risky” Trap

We’ve had customers call us in after they’ve hired someone cheaper and regretted it. In gas work, cutting corners can mean improper installations, leaks, or ongoing issues that cost even more to fix later. The lowest quote might not cover permits, safety checks or even the right parts. When dealing with gas, peace of mind is worth every cent.

Signs You Need a Gas Plumber Now

If you are unsure whether to call someone, here are a few red flags that need urgent attention:

• You can smell gas – especially near appliances or meters
• Your gas heater or cooktop won’t ignite or stay on
• Sudden changes in your hot water system’s performance
• Unexplained jumps in your gas bill
• Hissing sounds or visible damage to pipes

Don’t wait. Even if it turns out to be a minor issue, getting it looked at early is the safest move.
