How do I know if a gas installer is properly qualified?

Ask to see their SAQCC Gas registration card. You can verify their credentials on the SAQCC Gas website. This is non-negotiable proof that they are legally certified in South Africa. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

How much does a Certificate of Conformity (COC) cost?

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.

What happens if I smell gas in my home?

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 qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.

How long does a gas installation typically take?

A basic hob connection takes 1 to 2 hours. A full gas geyser installation with new pipework can take a full day (4 to 8 hours). A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.

Can I move my gas stove to another part of the kitchen myself?

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.
