Certified gasfitter · East Auckland
Coast Gas looks after hot water, cooking and heating, on LPG and natural gas alike. We work in homes, businesses, boats and RVs right across Auckland.
Why Coast Gas
Our work is charged by the hour, so experience is worth something to you. A fault is usually diagnosed properly and quickly, rather than worked out on your clock.
More often than not it’s Grant, the owner, who answers the phone and then turns up to do the work. Either way you’re dealing with Coast Gas from the first call to the invoice.
We don’t answer the phone while we are working on gas. It is not the moment to be distracted. Leave a message or send a WhatsApp and you will hear back, always within 24 hours on a weekday.
A photo of the appliance, the data plate or the fault often tells us what is wrong and what part to bring. Sometimes it saves the visit altogether. Send one on WhatsApp.
Every rate is on this page. For jobs under $1,000 we don’t write quotes, so the published rate is the answer. You know what the work is charged at before we start.
What we do
LPG is the speciality and natural gas is everyday work, with forty years in the trade behind them. Mains or bottles, home, business, boat or RV, the work is the same standard either way.
Boats & RVs
Gas on a boat, a motorhome or a caravan is installed to the relevant codes, commissioned and tested rigorously, exactly as it is in a house.
Coast Gas attends on site: at the marina, at a storage yard, or at your home. Pine Harbour is a regular stop.
We recommend having the gas checked before you travel. A fault found at the campsite or on the water is a long way from help.
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is invisible and it has no smell. There is nothing to tip you off that anything is wrong.
Carbon monoxide comes from an appliance that is not burning clean, or where there is a lack of ventilation. Both show up in a gas safety check and neither is obvious from the outside.
Ventilation is the one most often found wanting on anything that has sat unused for a while.

Yes. By law all gas work in New Zealand must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter and signed off by a certified gasfitter. You can check any gasfitter’s registration at pgdb.co.nz.
Do not use switches, appliances or anything with a flame. Open windows and doors. If you can safely reach it, turn the gas off at the bottle or the meter, then get everyone out. If you cannot turn the gas off, leave the building and call the Fire Service on 111 first. Then your gas supplier. A gasfitter comes after that.
It is signed off by the certified gasfitter who is responsible for the work, and it records that the installation was safe to use at the time of connection. LPG work usually needs a Certificate of Compliance as well, so the two are issued together at $150 + GST. Insurers, landlords and buyers often ask to see one.
