GAS INSTALLATIONS
PANORAMA
We’re here to help
Panorama takes its name from the views its hillside position affords over the Northern Suburbs, and that same slope shapes how Core Gas Installations plans a job here — positioning and pipe routing on a graded stand take more thought than on the flat ground common in neighbouring Parow.
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 Panorama
Most of our Panorama work is residential — stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers installed and serviced for the suburb’s established family homes — though we also pick up occasional work for the smaller medical and professional practices operating out of the area near the Northern Suburbs’ medical precinct, where reliable gas service matters as much for a practice’s daily operation as it does for a household’s evening meal.
Cylinder cages are built to SANS clearance requirements on every job, positioned to work with a sloped stand rather than fighting it. Once work is complete we issue a Certificate of Compliance under SANS 10087-1:2013, giving Panorama property owners documentation for insurance or an eventual resale. We also carry out stand-alone inspections and offer leak detection using electronic sniffer equipment for systems that haven’t been checked in years.
Our quotes for Panorama jobs are itemised clearly, covering installation, inspection and certification as one package rather than a series of separate line items that are hard to compare. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line for Panorama residents, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a job needs it.
