How it works
What are the signs that my area has natural gas availability?

In much of Gauteng, this is Egoli Gas. You must contact your regional distributor. They can confirm if their network extends to your address.

How can I identify a gas leak?

Other signs can include a hissing sound near gas lines or bubbles in a soapy water solution applied to a joint. The most common sign is the distinctive "rotten egg" smell, which is an odourant added to the gas for detection. If you suspect a leak, immediately turn off the main gas supply if it is safe to do so, open all windows and doors, and evacuate the building.

Can I convert my LPG (liquid petroleum gas) appliance to natural gas?

It usually involves changing the burner jets and adjusting the gas regulator to suit the different pressure and composition of natural gas. Sometimes, but it must be done by a SAQCC Gas registered installer, and this is especially relevant for Cape Town residents.

What is the recommended schedule for a natural gas installation be inspected?

Based on industry standards, while a CoC is valid for five years, it is highly recommended to have your gas appliances and installation checked by a SAQCC Gas registered professional at least once every 12 to 18 months, or if you notice any changes in performance.

What are the ventilation requirements for a gas stove for Cape Town homeowners?

This can be achieved with a good extractor fan or by ensuring adequate airflow from an openable window. Your installer will calculate and advise on the specific ventilation needed to comply with SANS standards. What are the ventilation requirements for a gas stove?‍Proper ventilation is essential.
