Everything You Need to Know About Commercial Gas Fitting

When it comes to working in a commercial space, you may not often realise how many appliances and areas use gas. From hot water in schools and offices, to gas cooking equipment in commercial kitchens and even outdoor heating solutions – gas is everywhere.

It’s commonly thought that plumbing and gas fitting are the same job – but just because a lot of  gas fittings include a plumbing element, it doesn’t mean that a plumber is qualified to carry out these jobs.

What’s the Difference Between Commercial Plumbing & Commercial Gas Fitting?

A commercial plumber will engage in all your non-gas related jobs such as backflow testing, installing and maintaining grease traps, water metering and installing commercial bathrooms and kitchens.

A licensed commercial gas fitter works with all gas installations including heating, hot water and sanitation.

So for example, if you’re getting a commercial kitchen set up and you need someone to double check that the gas line to your stove top is in shape, a plumber alone can’t do this and you’ll need to call a commercial plumber/gas fitter as well.

At Emu Plumbing, our commercial plumbing team are also licensed and experienced commercial gas fitters. So that you only need one plumbing and gas team for your entire commercial plumbing project – saving you time and money.

Because many plumbing jobs include gas appliances or gas hot water, it’s often assumed that a commercial plumber is able to do it all. But that’s not always the case, so you need to be sure that you’re not wasting your resources on the wrong person for the job and potentially putting yourself and team at risk.

When it’s Time to Get in a Commercial Gas Fitter

A licensed gas fitter is trained to work on a range of different gas systems including LPG & Natural Gas, pipework, gas appliance installation and repair, gas conversions and repairs to gas leaks.

If you’re having trouble with your gas cooking appliances – from small cookers and stovetops to larger industrial appliances, a plumber might not have the right qualifications to help you solve the issue.

If you need a new hot water system set up or it just needs a service or repair, a commercial gas fitter is the right person to call.

If you’re fitting out a new kitchen and you need a new gas connection from the natural gas meter or LPG bottles, or even just to ensure your current gas connections are up to standard, a commercial gas fitter can get the job done.

If you’re looking for someone to repair a gas leak in your workplace or kitchen then you’ll need a commercial gas fitter.

Emu Plumbing’s Gas Fitting Services

Emu Plumbing have been working with commercial businesses across Brisbane on their commercial gas fittings for over a decade! So you can be sure you’re in the most trusted hands!

Gas can be incredibly dangerous if it’s not dealt with properly. Your gas fitter must always ensure your systems are working safely and that they meet the relevant standards to protect you and your staff.

  • “Well organised, efficient and competitively priced.”

    Have been using Tony Bonehill & his team from Emu Plumbing for a number of years and have no hesitation in recommending them for all types of plumbing works. I manage a large property portfolio, and I need to be able to rely on my tradespeople, and I never have to second guess using Emu Plumbing. They are well organised, efficient & competitively priced!

  • “Quick, knowledgeable and competitive on price.”

    I have been in this industry now for more than 25 years across a number of different venues and was introduced to Tony and his team by another friend that owns and runs a restaurant in Brisbane. For more than the last five years he has been one of our top trade contacts, and I would recommend Emu to anyone that is interested in getting the job done right the first time.

    They are always on time, and they are clean and tidy workers (which is essential in a commercial kitchen). They clean up, take photos of the work completed and are always happy to do a quick site check to see if anything else may need attention in the future. Quick, knowledgeable and competitive on price.

  • “I have no hesitation in recommending the Emu Plumbing team.”

    A huge thank you to Tony, Al and Bryce for helping us get Mrs Brown’s Bar & Kitchen up and running! You’ve been incredible, and we’re very appreciative of your efforts, which went above and beyond the norm on many occasions. We used lots of second-hand and re-purposed items during our fit-out, and nothing was straightforward – but nothing was ever a problem for the boys. I have no hesitation in recommending the Emu Plumbing team, and am glad they’re part of ours.

  • “Prompt and excellent service!”

    I moved into a new unit to find no water was flowing through the pipes. My property manager sent Eric from Emu Plumbing who fixed the matter quickly.

    Someone turned off my water supply last night as water from my unit was leaking downstairs into the foyer! Along came Eric who again fixed the problem of my laundry taps and he even left ‘who gives a crap’ toilet paper. Fantastic!!

    Prompt and excellent service from your company – Eric was polite and efficient.

  • “They did a very thorough, excellent job, with photographic evidence, were very reasonably priced and very professional”

    I needed to call an emergency plumber on a Saturday afternoon for issues at the office where I work in Kingsford Smith Drive in Eagle Farm. I called two local after-hours plumbers without success. Emu answered on the first ring although already busy with a job down the road. They estimated they would be finished with the current job and would be at the office by 4.30 pm which they were. They did a very thorough, excellent job, with photographic evidence, were very reasonably priced and very professional/ I would highly recommend them and use their services again without hesitation.

    Teresa S, Odyssey Gaming

  • “The boys deserve some high praise”

    I just wanted to let you know what a good job your young lads did. We’re very happy with the result. The boys deserve some high praise – so efficient, thoughtful, pleasant and a work ethic to be treasured.

  • “Absolutely amazing and very helpful”

    We were in a situation where we needed a gas technician to come and assess if there was a gas leak at our property where a previous technician has disconnected our gas cylinder and therefore had no gas for hot showers etc. The team at Emu were absolutely amazing and very helpful when I rang them and told them about our situation. A technician was organised to come out and he managed to fix the problem.

    It’s nice to know that humanity still exists and that they helped as soon as they could, at a reasonable price too! A huge Thank You to the great team at Emu (Shakira, Nials and Tony), we will definitely recommend your business to others as well!

  • “We really appreciate the way he went about his business before, during and especially after”

    Today we had Tyler from Emu Plumbing come out to our address in Coorparoo. He was courteous, helpful and fixed our issue without to much fuss.

    But what impressed us the most is the fact he cleaned up the mess created and went the extra yard to leave our site spotless. We really appreciate the way he went about his business before, during and especially after.

    Later that night, we had the guys from Urban Utilities to fix up the issue in the mains. They even commented on how the plumber cleaned. Thanks Tyler!
