Ask to see their SAQCC Gas registration card. This is non-negotiable proof that they are legally certified in South Africa. You can verify their credentials on the SAQCC Gas website.

The COC cost is usually built into the price of a new installation. For an inspection of an existing system, expect to pay between R600 and R1,200 for the call-out and certificate.

Immediately turn off the gas at the cylinder valve. Open all windows and doors, do not use any electrical switches, and evacuate the building. Call a registered gas professional from a safe distance.

A full gas geyser installation with new pipework can take a full day (4 to 8 hours). A basic hob connection takes 1 to 2 hours.

Any alteration to a gas line, no matter how small, requires a registered SAQCC Gas installer to ensure the system remains sealed, safe, and compliant. No. It is illegal and unsafe. A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.
