Discover the Advantage of a premium gas fitting service with Advantage Gas.
Unsure if switching to a gas connection is right for you? It’s a convenient alternative source of energy, due to its versatility. You may even find it more cost effective in the long term. Discover why:
You won’t just save money on bills. Gas powered appliances often provide more natural results compared to electricity. This is because they’re more effective at retaining moisture.
Gas remains cheaper to use compared to electricity during peak times. An added bonus – you’ll also waste less water, because gas powered hot water systems only heat what you use.
There’s never been a better time to switch to natural gas and save – new gas connections are eligible for a rebate of up to $750 with AGN.
Unlike electricity, which is prone to blackouts and supply issues, your gas connection is always reliable.
For many home buyers, having a gas connection plays a key role in their decision to call a place “home”. Some value a searing flame gas cooktop to cook delicious food, and who can resist the cozy charm of a gas log fireplace?
Using natural has results in lower greenhouse emissions compared to other sources. Compared to burning coal for electricity, natural gas produces approximately half the amount of carbon dioxide.
Gas heaters and wall furnaces which provide a less drying, more comfortable heating experience in winter
Moist heat gas ovens for more tender baked and roasted dishes
Hot water units which are shown to be highly energy efficient
Stove cooktops heat up quickly, with better control of heat – ideal for wok burners
Outdoor entertainment options including barbecues and outdoor heaters with no messy cables to trip over!

In just 5 steps, our professional gas fitters at Advantage Gas can have your home or business connected to a gas main.
Our friendly gas fitting specialists are available to visit you wherever you are in Adelaide. In most cases, we even offer same day quotes for a gas connection.
We’ll begin with an inspection of your current energy setup and discuss your gas needs, from cooking to hot water to heating. Next, we’ll check the AGN mains availability on your Adelaide street, then provide a written quote based on the type of property you have.
Once you decide to go ahead with your new gas connection, we’ll handle all the AGN applications, paperwork and co-ordinate with their technicians when required.
This is usually the most time-consuming part of the entire process because we need to wait for approvals to come through, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
On average, our clients wait between 2-4 weeks for AGN approvals.
After the approval has been confirmed, our licensed gas fitters will return to your home and begin work trenching and piping. We’ll install:
Finally, we’ll run gas pipework to appliance locations.
We’re an efficient, experienced team, so new installations can be completed in as little as 1-2 days.
We value your safety and guarantee our work by ensuring that it’s fully compliant to Australian Standards AS/NZS 5601. After your new gas system is installed, we pressure test it rigorously on the same day, along with the gas appliance connections.
Once we’re happy with the performance of your new system, we’ll leave you with a Certificate of Compliance, safety documentation, a warranty on the gas system and all relevant compliance certificates.
Before we leave, we’ll confirm with AGN to switch on your gas supply, so you’re all set! Our technicians will also provide a safety briefing and system walkthrough, as well as any relevant user manuals.
As an Advantage Gas client, remember that we’re always available for support if you have any questions or need further gas services.
Natural gas generally costs less than electricity for heating, cooking and hot water. For a typical Adelaide household, an average annual gas bill will cost around $1300, with electricity totalling $1800.
On top of this, you may also be eligible for government rebates of up to $750 when switching over to gas.
With lower greenhouse emissions and causing less air pollution than fossil fuels like LPG, you’ll never have to worry about running out of gas when you’re enduring an electricity blackout. It’s also more energy-efficient and kinder towards our environment.
You can enjoy a large range of gas-powered modern conveniences with natural gas all year round, such as:
With so many modern conveniences to enjoy, it’s no surprise that gas connections increase the desirability and value of your home to prospective buyers in Adelaide’s busy property market. Installing a new gas connection isn’t just a short-term financial benefit, it’s an investment into your future.
Unsure of the regulations or what exactly you need? That’s okay. These frequently asked questions can help you understand if you need to employ our services, or if you can troubleshoot yourself.
The typical gas connection timeline in Adelaide is 4-8 weeks total.
This includes 2-4 weeks for AGN application and approval, followed by 1-2 days for physical installation by Advantage Gas.
The exact timeframe depends on AGN's current workload, your property's distance from existing gas mains, and the complexity of the installation.
We provide regular updates throughout the process and can often expedite urgent projects.
Gas connection costs vary depending on your property's distance from the AGN mains, the length of pipework required, number of appliances being connected, and any site-specific challenges.
A typical residential new connection in Adelaide ranges from $[X] to $[X+], including AGN fees and Advantage Gas installation.
We provide free, detailed quotes with itemized costs so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees or surprises.
Yes, absolutely. Advantage Gas manages all communication and paperwork with Australian Gas Networks (AGN) on your behalf.
We complete the necessary application forms, submit technical specifications, liaise with AGN assessors, and keep you informed of approval status.
You don't need to contact AGN directly—we handle everything as your single point of contact for the entire gas connection process.
Natural gas mains are available across most of metropolitan Adelaide, but some outer suburbs and newer developments may not yet be connected to the AGN network.
When you contact Advantage Gas, we'll check AGN's coverage maps to confirm whether gas mains are available in your street. If your street isn't currently connected, we can advise on timelines for planned AGN network expansion or discuss alternative solutions.
Yes, we regularly upgrade existing gas systems for Adelaide properties undergoing renovations or adding new gas appliances. This may involve upgrading your gas meter capacity, extending gas pipework to new areas, or installing additional gas outlets.
We'll assess your current gas connection, determine what upgrades are required, and handle all necessary work to Australian Standards.
If AGN gas mains haven't reached your Adelaide street yet, we can check AGN's expansion plans for your area. In some cases, groups of neighbors can petition AGN for mains extension if sufficient properties commit to connections.
Alternatively, we can advise on LPG systems or other interim solutions while you wait for natural gas availability. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and options.
Yes, all gas installations require AGN approval and must meet Australian Standards and local council requirements.
Advantage Gas holds all necessary licenses and handles all approval processes on your behalf, including AGN applications, council notifications if required, and final compliance certification. You'll receive all documentation proving your gas connection is legal, safe, and compliant.
Yes, Advantage Gas can connect all your gas appliances as part of your new gas connection or as a separate service.
We install and connect gas hot water systems, gas cooktops and ovens, ducted gas heating, gas fireplaces, and outdoor gas connections for BBQs.
All appliance connections include safety checks and compliance certification.
Gas heater manufacturers and gas safety experts recommend servicing your gas heater every 2 years for newer models in good condition, and annually for heaters over 5 years old or those used heavily throughout Adelaide's cooler months.
Annual gas heater servicing is particularly important for families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone with respiratory conditions, as carbon monoxide risks are more serious for vulnerable people. We recommend booking your gas heater service in autumn—before the winter heating season—to ensure your heater is safe, clean, and running efficiently when you need it most.
Gas heater service costs in Adelaide vary depending on your heater type, size, brand, and condition. A standard annual service for a wall furnace or space heater typically ranges from $[X] to $[X+], while ducted gas heating system servicing ranges from $[X] to $[X+] depending on system size.
These prices generally include full safety inspection, carbon monoxide testing, cleaning, minor adjustments, and a written safety report. Major repairs required beyond routine servicing are quoted separately before work begins. Contact Advantage Gas for a free, accurate quote based on your specific gas heater.
Common signs your gas heater needs professional service or repair include:
Yes—carbon monoxide testing is included in every gas heater service Advantage Gas performs. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas produced by faulty or poorly maintained gas heaters, and it can be deadly.
Our technicians use specialist CO detection equipment to test your home's air quality, perform flue gas analysis to identify any CO production, and inspect heat exchangers for cracks or deterioration (the most common CO source).
You'll receive a written safety report documenting all test results. If any CO risk is detected, we explain the findings clearly and provide solutions before leaving your property.
A standard gas heater service typically takes 1-2 hours for wall furnaces and space heaters, and 2-3 hours for ducted gas heating systems. This includes full safety inspection, carbon monoxide testing, cleaning all components, performance optimization, and minor adjustments.
If significant repairs are identified during the service, additional time may be required—but we'll always discuss findings and get your approval before proceeding with any repair work beyond standard servicing. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
Yes, Advantage Gas provides gas heater service across all Adelaide metropolitan suburbs, from the inner city to Hills, coastal, and outer northern and southern areas. We service gas heaters in [list 5-6 example suburbs across different areas] and everywhere in between.
For routine gas heater servicing appointments, we schedule visits at times convenient for you. For emergency heater repairs, we prioritize rapid response to keep Adelaide households warm. Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific suburb.
In Australia, it's illegal for anyone except a licensed gas fitter to service, repair, or adjust gas appliances—including gas heaters. Attempting DIY gas heater servicing is not only against the law but extremely dangerous. Improper servicing can create gas leaks, carbon monoxide hazards, fire risks, and void your appliance warranty and home insurance.
Professional gas heater service is a modest annual investment that protects your family's safety, extends your heater's lifespan, maintains energy efficiency, and ensures legal compliance. The cost of professional gas heater servicing is far less than the risks of doing it yourself or leaving a heater unserviced.
