If you’re looking for ways to cut costs on gas fitting services in NZ, you’re not alone. Whether you’re using LPG or natural gas, maintaining your appliances and working with a qualified gas fitter can save you money in the long run while keeping your home safe.
At GoGas Ltd, we’ve helped property owners and businesses across Auckland and New Zealand reduce costs, avoid unnecessary repairs, and extend the life of their gas systems. Here are our top three expert tips to save money on your gas fitting bill.
- Never Attempt DIY Fixes on Gas Appliances
When a gas appliance isn’t performing well (whether the flame keeps going out, the hot water isn’t consistent, or the heating system seems inefficient) it can be tempting to adjust or “tinker” with it yourself.
⚠️ Warning: This is not only unsafe but often leads to bigger (and more expensive) problems.
DIY adjustments can cause gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and void your insurance or warranty.
A gas fitter will also need extra time to undo incorrect fixes, which increases your final bill.
Pro Tip: The most cost effective choice is to leave the appliance as-is and call a certified gas fitter in New Zealand to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.
- Know Your Gas Type Before Installing Appliances
One of the simplest ways to save money on gas fitting is to know whether your system uses or intends to use LPG or natural gas. Choosing the wrong appliance for your system leads to wasted purchases and repeat callouts.
Here’s how to check:
LPG (bottled gas): If you see LPG cylinders outside your property connected to a regulator, you are on LPG.
Natural gas: If you have a meter outside your property (usually at the front), you are on natural gas.
Why it matters?
Gas appliances are designed for specific fuel types.
Letting your gas fitter know in advance saves time, prevents incorrect installations, and avoids the cost of rebooking when the right appliance is finally sourced. If you are unsure, contact your local gasfitter to find out.
- Invest in Regular Gas Appliance Servicing
The biggest long-term money saver is routine servicing of your gas appliances. Just like a car needs regular maintenance, your gas system requires professional checks to run safely and efficiently.
Benefits of regular gas servicing:
Detects and prevents gas leaks.
Extends the lifespan of your appliances.
Reduces energy costs by keeping appliances at peak efficiency.
Avoids emergency breakdowns that can lead to costly replacements.
