Why act quickly on gas leaks and failed tests?
Gas leaks are a serious safety risk. Even small leaks can build up in enclosed spaces, increasing the chance of fire or explosion. Leaks can also cause high gas bills, poor appliance performance and disconnection from the network if they are not fixed.
If your gas supply has been turned off after a failed pressure test or you can smell gas, you need a licensed gas fitter to test the system, find the leak and carry out compliant repairs or renewals.
- Protect your home and family from fire and explosion risks
- Find and fix leaks that are wasting gas and money
- Restore gas supply after failed pressure tests
- Bring old or damaged gas pipework up to current standards
- Make sure all appliances are operating safely and correctly

Deegan did an outstanding job disconnecting our old heater. He was not only incredibly efficient but also very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. His expertise was evident from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommend Deegan for anyone in need of exceptional service!

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated.
I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Tim and Rami replaced our old hot water system with Emerald All-In-One Heat Pump Heater on 16/9/2024. They're very professional and polite. Did great job installing, took away old heater and cleaned all rubbish away. Gave me detailed information about operation of the system. All was done quickly with smiles and everything is working well.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
- If you can smell gas, turn off appliances, open windows and doors, avoid flames or sparks and turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to do so. Then call a licensed gas fitter as soon as possible. If the smell is very strong or you feel unsafe, contact emergency services.
Why has my gas been turned off after a test?
- If a gas pressure test fails, it usually means there is a leak or another safety issue somewhere in the system. The gas supply is turned off to prevent danger until a licensed gas fitter can locate and repair the problem and retest the system.
Do I always need a full gas line renewal if there is a leak?
-
Not always. Sometimes only a small section of pipe or a fitting needs to be repaired or replaced. If the pipework is very old, corroded or undersized, a full or partial renewal is often the safest long term option. We will explain the findings and options before going ahead.
How do you find a gas leak?
- We use approved testing methods, including pressure testing and leak detection equipment, to locate leaks. This may involve isolating sections of pipe, checking joints and fittings, and testing appliances and flexible connections.
What is involved in a gas line renewal?
- We plan a new route for the pipe where needed, isolate and make safe the existing line, then install new gas piping, supports and valves in line with current standards. Once complete, we pressure test the entire system, relight appliances and provide the required documentation.
