We work under QBCC No: 15024607, with licensed plumbing and gasfitting on the one licence. For the full range of gas jobs we take on, see our gas fitting service, and if you can smell gas indoors, our gas leak repairs page walks you through the first steps.
Can You Install a Gas Cooktop Yourself
No, a householder cannot legally fit their own cooktop, because Queensland reserves every kind of gas work for licensed gasfitters. Fitting, altering, testing or certifying a gas appliance and its pipework all sit inside that rule, whether the fuel is natural gas or LPG.
Ask to see the gas work licence before anyone starts on your kitchen. Even a short hose behind the bench counts as part of the gas system, so swapping one over is still a licensed job.
Costs Beyond the Appliance Itself
Four things set the price, and we quote each job in writing before work begins:
The gas point
A swap where a point already exists needs far less pipework than running a new line from the meter, or setting up a fresh LPG cylinder arrangement.
The appliance
A benchtop cooktop, a wall oven and a full freestanding cooker all take different connections, and the burner count or an included oven changes the job.
Supply checks
The gasfitter has to prove your supply can feed the new unit before touching anything.
Conversion
Switching an appliance between gas types adds parts and testing to the day.
Flat-rate pricing keeps the invoice free of surprises once the quote is agreed.
From Gas Point to Leak Test
The job runs from connection to certification in four moves:
Connect
the appliance is fitted to its point following the manufacturer's instructions.
Clearances
the gaps to the rangehood, cupboards and nearby combustible surfaces are measured against the maker's installation sheet, because the maker sets them.
Leak test
every fresh connection is tested before the gasfitter packs up.
Certificate
you receive the certificate confirming the work complies as soon as the installation wraps up. Our gas compliance certificates page explains the paperwork.
The installation sheet governs throughout. Where the maker demands a clearance or a fitting detail, the gasfitter follows it rather than improvising.
What Your Gas Supply Means for the Job
Before connecting anything, the gasfitter confirms the supply can carry the demand the new appliance adds. The checks cover:
LPG cylinder storage and vaporisation rate
, because bottles have to gas off fast enough to feed every burner at once.
The gas meter and its capacity
, where the home sits on a metered network.
Pipe sizing
, since undersized pipe starves a cooktop on full flame.
Two further rules apply. A licence holder must notify the gas network operator before a new system goes onto a metered supply. The same notice is required when a job adds 100 megajoules per hour or more of demand, stating the works and the expected rise.
Most appliances suit one gas type only, so a cooktop shifting between a natural gas home and an LPG home needs converting first with the maker's kit.
What a Safe Gas Appliance Has Built In
Three features separate a sound appliance from a risky one, and all three are worth checking at the shop:
- a national gas device approval badge on the unit;
- a flame failure device, which shuts the gas off if the flame blows out;
- automatic reignition, which relights the burner instead of letting gas run.
A cooktop carrying all three, fitted to its instructions, behaves the way a cooktop should. Queensland advice also has appliances like cookers and heaters checked and serviced periodically by a licensed gasfitter.
New Kitchens and Older Brick Homes
Area-level building approvals counted 604 new dwellings over five years, 77 of them in 2021-22 alone, so plenty of benches here are still being fitted out for the first time. Newer homes usually take a straightforward connection. The detached brick houses built here from the 1960s onward can need more care, because running a fresh line into solid cabinetry sometimes means opening panels the original builders sealed for good.
Heaters and outdoor points follow the same rules. If a bayonet for a barbecue or patio heater is on your list, our gas bayonet installation page covers it, and any heater still faces the identical supply checks before connection.

Your Gas Cooktop Questions Answered
Call (07) 3520 4094Who can install a gas cooktop in Queensland?
Only a licensed gasfitter may carry out the work. Connectng or altering any gas appliance falls inside the state's definition of gas work, which rules out DIY, and the finished job ends with a compliance certificate.
How much does gas cooktop installation cost in Kallangur?
Flat-rate pricing sets the figure, and we give you a fixed quote before any work starts. The drivers are whether your kitchen already has a gas point or needs a new line, the appliance type, the supply checks and any conversion between gas types. Ring (07) 3520 4094 for your written quote.
Can I swap an electric stove for gas in Kallangur?
Yes, once a gas supply actually reaches the kitchen. That means an existing line with a spare point, a new line, or an LPG cylinder system. The gasfitter confirms the supply can feed the stove first, then connects it and issues the certificate.
Can a natural gas cooktop be converted to LPG?
Yes, where the manufacturer makes a conversion kit for that exact model. Changing an appliance between gas types is gas work, so the gasfitter does the swap using the kit, then tests the burners before handover.
Can I move my gas cooktop to a different spot?
Yes, but the pipework has to move with it. Relocating the point counts as an alteration to the gas system, which makes it a job for a licensed gasfitter, and the finished work comes with a compliance certificate for your records.
