Adelaide gas installer pricing
What gas installers should charge in Adelaide
Adelaide gas-fitting work requires a separate CBS SA gas fitting licence (distinct from plumbing). Australian Gas Networks distributes natural gas across Adelaide metro. AS/NZS 5601 (Gas installations) applies. Gas central heating is fading and heat-pump conversion is accelerating thanks to SA's renewable-leading grid. Outdoor gas appliances and tankless conversion remain steady markets.

Hot dry summers (Dec-Feb, frequent 35°C+, sustained heatwaves 40°C+), mild winters (June-Aug, rarely below 5°C, occasional Adelaide Hills frost), low-medium rainfall (~530mm/year, mostly winter).
