Licensed Gas Fitter Sunshine Coast
Not all plumbers are gas fitters. Gas work requires a separate gas work licence issued by the QLD Department of Natural Resources and Mines, on top of a standard plumbing licence. It also demands specialist training and an understanding of gas pressures, materials, and safety requirements that go well beyond general plumbing.
Universal Plumbing N Gas holds a current gas work licence, and every gas job we take on is completed by a qualified, licensed gas fitter. Our licensed gas fitters are authorised to install, repair, maintain, and certify all types of gas systems for both residential and commercial properties across the Sunshine Coast.

Our Recent Works
Gas Compliance Certificates
In Queensland, a Gas System Compliance Certificate is a legal requirement whenever new gas installations are completed or changes are made to an existing gas system. The certificate confirms that the work has been carried out safely, correctly, and in accordance with Australian Standards.
At Universal Plumbing N Gas, we provide gas compliance certificates for every gas installation and alteration we complete. We also conduct standalone gas safety inspections for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who want independent confirmation that their gas system is safe and compliant.
LPG vs Natural Gas – What You Need to Know
Sunshine Coast homes run on one of two gas types: natural gas, supplied through reticulated mains, or LPG, which is stored in bottles on your property. While both do the same job, they operate at different pressures and require different appliance jet sizes.
Before any gas installation or appliance swap, always have a licensed gas fitter confirm your gas type and verify that the appliance is set up correctly for your system. Universal Plumbing N Gas works with both LPG and natural gas across the Sunshine Coast, and we make sure every installation is configured correctly for your specific supply.
Gas BBQ Connection
If you love outdoor entertaining, there’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference: a permanent gas bayonet point connected to your home’s gas supply. No more lugging swap-and-go bottles back and forth.
We install gas bayonet points for both natural gas and LPG systems, and it’s one of the most popular upgrades we complete for Sunshine Coast homes with outdoor kitchens and alfresco areas. It’s a quick, affordable job with an immediate payoff.
Emergency Gas Plumber Sunshine Coast
Gas emergencies can’t wait. If you smell gas in or around your home, act immediately: evacuate the property, do not touch any electrical switches or open flames, open doors and windows as you leave to ventilate the space, and call us from outside on 0439 644 483. It’s critical to also contact your gas provider’s emergency line.
Our licensed gas fitters are available 24/7 for emergency plumbing and gas callouts across the Sunshine Coast. We’ll respond fast, locate the source, and make your property safe.

FAQs
Is a gas plumber the same as a plumber?
Not necessarily. Gas work requires a separate gas work licence in addition to a plumbing licence, and not all plumbers hold one. At Universal Plumbing N Gas, we hold both, so we can handle your plumbing and gas needs in a single visit without you needing to call two different contractors.
How much does gas plumbing on the Sunshine Coast cost?
It depends on the job. A bayonet point installation is a quick, affordable job, while running a new gas line is more involved. We provide free upfront quotes so you know exactly what you’re up for before we start.
What is a gas compliance certificate?
A gas compliance certificate is a legal document issued by a licensed gas fitter that confirms that gas work has been completed safely and in accordance with Australian Standards. In QLD, it’s required for all new gas installations and any alterations to existing gas systems.
Can you convert my home from electric to gas?
Yes. We can install new gas lines, connect gas appliances, and set up your home for gas cooking, heating, and hot water. We’ll assess your property and recommend the most practical and cost-effective approach for your situation.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Evacuate immediately. Don’t touch electrical switches, open flames, or use your phone indoors. Open windows and doors as you leave, then call us from outside on 0439 644 483 and contact your gas provider’s emergency line. Don’t re-enter the property until a licensed gas fitter has cleared it.
