A gas stove installation is more than bolting a hob to the bench. Gas arrives by pipe off a metered street network or out of LPG bottles, and most appliances suit one fuel rather than both. This page sits under our gas fitting work for Everton Park homes, and it explains what the job involves and what shapes the price.
Can You Install a Gas Cooktop Yourself
No, the law reserves gas work for people who hold a gas work licence, so an owner cannot do the fitting. The definition is wide: it takes in installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing and certifying gas systems, their pipework and connections included.
Altering a connection to fit a new cooktop is licensed work in its own right. Queensland's gas safety advice tells householders to check a gasfitter's licence before any work starts, and it is a fair thing to ask. If you suspect gas is already escaping, our gas leak repairs page sets out the first steps.
What a Gas Appliance Installation Involves
The job has four parts: join the appliance to its gas point, set the clearances off the maker's sheet, leak-test every joint, then certify. Each part exists because the next one depends on it.
The gas point
Swapping onto a point that already exists takes less pipe than running a fresh supply line or installing a bottle system.
The maker's instructions
The installation sheet sets how far the cooktop sits from the rangehood, the cabinetry and anything that burns, and we follow those figures.
The leak test
Each joint gets pressure- and leak-checked before we leave, so nothing goes live untested.
The paperwork
You finish with the gas system compliance certificate in hand, which our gas compliance certificates page explains in detail.
A bench cooktop, an in-wall oven and a full freestanding unit each draw on the supply in their own way, and the number of burners, or an oven in the same unit, changes the work.
Supply Checks Before a New Appliance Goes In
Before anything is fitted, the gasfitter has to be sure the supply can meet the new demand. A cooktop that outdraws its supply burns badly, and a heater added to a tired line can starve everything else on it.
The checks cover three things:
How the LPG bottles are stored, and their vaporisation rate
, since a bottle can only gas off so fast.
The meter and its capacity
, where the supply is metered.
The pipe sizing
, so the run can deliver what the appliance draws.
Where the supply is metered, adding 100 megajoules per hour or more of demand also means the network operator gets told in advance, and the licence holder sends that notice.
Conversion belongs in this check too. Most cooktops come from the factory configured for one fuel, so a unit moving between a natural gas house and an LPG house needs converting first. A licensed gasfitter does it with the conversion parts the maker supplies, then tests the result before the first meal.
What a Safe Gas Appliance Has Built In
Three things make a gas appliance safe: a national approval badge for the device, a flame failure device, and automatic reignition.
The approval badge
shows the appliance passed the scheme's tests.
A flame failure device
closes the gas when a flame dies, instead of letting fuel run.
Automatic reignition
relights the burner by itself.
Insist on all three at the shop, not after delivery.
Costs Beyond the Appliance Itself
The price turns on four inputs: whether there is already a point in place or supply pipework to run, the appliance itself, the supply adequacy checks, and whether a conversion is needed. Swapping onto a tested point sits at the light end.
Bringing a fresh line from the street, upgrading a bottle system or converting the appliance each add work, and each appears in the fixed quote you see before the job starts.
Old Points, New Benches
Area-level growth ran near 12.6 per cent over 2020 to 2025, and building approvals in 2021-22 numbered 113, so plenty of benches here are brand new. The brick-veneer houses of the sixties and seventies usually have the gas point where the last stove stood. Recent infill packs kitchens against shared walls, where the maker's clearance rules matter most in the tight spots.

Cooktop Installation Questions
Call (07) 3524 7163Who can legally install a gas cooktop in Queensland?
Only the holder of a gas work licence may do the job, because the law classes installing and certifying gas systems as gas work. Ask any gasfitter to show that licence before they touch your Everton Park kitchen.
Can I install my own gas cooktop at home?
No, self-installation is not an option. Connecting, converting or certifying any gas appliance counts as licensed work with no do-it-yourself version. Choose the cooktop and keep the instructions handy, then leave the connection to a licensed gasfitter.
Will I get paperwork after a gas appliance installation?
Yes, you will. The licence holder must hand you the gas system compliance certificate the moment the job finishes, and that paper confirms the work complies. Keep it with the records for your Everton Park property.
What safety features should a new gas cooktop have?
Three: a national gas device approval badge, a flame failure device, and automatic reignition. The badge proves testing was passed, the flame failure device stops gas feeding a dead burner, and automatic reignition relights it by itself.
Does my gas supplier need to know about a new appliance?
No, not for an ordinary swap. Notice is only needed for a new gas system on a metered supply, or where the work adds demand of 100 megajoules per hour or more. We give that notice to the gas network operator as the licence holder on the job.
