GAS INSTALLATIONS
Betty’s Bay
We’re here to help
Many Betty’s Bay properties are holiday homes used only part of the year, and a gas installation that sits unused for weeks at a time needs to be built and inspected with that in mind. Core Gas Installations works to the same standard here as anywhere in the metro.
OUR SERVICES
Gas Installations
We install any type of gas appliance, from stoves and hobs to fireplaces and geysers, and cover all types of installations.
After a new installation, maintenance or repair, we will issue a compliance certificate in accordance with SANS 10087-1:2013.
We conduct inspections on all installations and repairs, covering components such as regulators and isolation and safety shut-off valves.
We can supply and install any size gas cylinder cage to your existing installation to meet all SANS requirements.
We offer maintenance to existing gas installations, ensuring that piping and fittings are always in the best condition.
Using state-of-the-art sniffer devices, we can detect the smallest of leaks on your gas installation, putting your mind at ease.
Gas Installation Services in Betty’s Bay
Betty’s Bay sits inside the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, a stretch of coastline better known for its penguin colony at Stony Point and its fynbos-covered slopes than for tradespeople — which is part of the reason gas installation here needs a company willing to make the drive and do the job properly.
Core Gas Installations installs and services gas stoves, hobs, fireplaces and geysers for homes throughout Betty’s Bay, and we supply and fit cylinder cages positioned to meet SANS clearance requirements from boundary walls, windows and any electrical points — a detail that matters on the smaller stands common in this area. Every installation is certified in accordance with SANS 10087-1:2013, giving homeowners and holiday-letting managers documented proof the system is safe.
Because salt air and coastal weather accelerate wear on piping, fittings and regulators, we recommend periodic maintenance checks for Betty’s Bay properties even when nothing appears to be wrong — small corrosion issues are far easier to catch early than after a system has failed. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is available for anyone reopening a holiday home after it’s stood empty for a while and wants peace of mind before switching the gas back on.
If you own a permanent residence or a holiday property in Betty’s Bay and need a new installation, a certificate for an existing one, or a leak traced and repaired, Core Gas Installations can schedule the work and issue the compliance paperwork you need.
Because so many Betty’s Bay properties change hands between family members or are let out seasonally, we keep a record of every installation and certificate we issue, which makes it easy to confirm compliance history if a new owner or letting agent asks. Our team can schedule a Betty’s Bay visit alongside other Overberg coast callouts to keep costs sensible for a single job. Core Gas Installations also operates a 24-hour emergency line, and as part of the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Leak Detection or Core Electrical if an issue on your property turns out to extend beyond gas.
