Professional gas installation services for homeowners, with full COC certification for your peace of mind.
Safe, Certified Home Gas Installations
More and more South African homeowners are turning to gas for cooking, heating, and hot water, and it is easy to see why. Gas offers superior cooking performance with instant, precise temperature control that electric hobs simply cannot match. It provides energy cost savings that make a real difference to household budgets each month, and it delivers the convenience of an uninterrupted supply regardless of Eskom's load shedding schedule. However, gas installations in homes must be performed by certified professionals to ensure safety and legal compliance. Burner Pro provides professional domestic gas installation services that give homeowners complete peace of mind from the moment our SAGA-registered gas practitioners arrive at your property. We handle every aspect of the installation process, from initial site assessment and system design through to pipework installation, appliance connection, pressure testing, safety device verification, and final commissioning. Every domestic installation we complete includes a full Certificate of Compliance (COC), which is a legal requirement for all gas installations in South Africa under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. This certificate is essential for insurance coverage and property transfers, and it serves as your guarantee that the work meets the strict safety standards of SANS 10087-1. Our team takes the time to explain your new gas system, show you how to operate everything safely, and answer any questions you may have. We believe that an informed homeowner is a safe homeowner, and we take pride in delivering not just a compliant installation but also the knowledge and confidence you need to enjoy your gas appliances.
Whether you need a new gas hob installed in your kitchen, a gas stove connection for that perfect Sunday roast, a gas water heater for your bathroom that keeps providing hot water even during load shedding, or a complete whole-house gas system with multiple appliances running from a central supply, our SAGA-registered gas practitioners deliver the highest standards of workmanship on every project. We begin with a thorough site assessment to understand your requirements, evaluate your existing gas infrastructure or lack thereof, and determine the most practical and cost-effective solution for your home. Our detailed quotation covers every aspect of the work, including materials, labour, certification, and any ancillary requirements such as ventilation modifications or cylinder enclosures. There are no hidden fees and no surprises. We use only SANS-approved materials and genuine components from trusted manufacturers, ensuring your installation is built to last. Every joint is pressure tested, every connection is leak checked, and every safety device is verified before we consider the job complete. We also handle all the paperwork, including the mandatory COC which we issue upon completion. This certificate is recognised by all major insurance companies and property conveyancers in South Africa, giving you complete legal protection and peace of mind. Our commitment to quality and compliance means you can trust your family's safety to Burner Pro.
Gas Hobs & Cooktops
Professional installation of gas hobs and cooktops with full safety testing, leak detection, and compliance certification. We install all leading brands including Defy, KIC, LG, Samsung, and Bosch, and can connect to existing gas supply or install new gas lines from your meter or cylinder. Our technicians ensure proper gas pressure, stable flame patterns, and correct ventilation for safe operation. We also handle built-in and freestanding configurations, working seamlessly with your kitchen countertop cut-outs and cabinetry. Every gas hob and cooktop installation includes a full COC issued by our SAGA-registered practitioners, giving you the legal documentation you need for insurance and property transfer purposes. We also provide guidance on cleaning and maintaining your gas cooktop for long service life.
Gas Stoves & Ovens
Gas stove and oven installation, connection, and compliance certification for homeowners who love cooking with gas. We ensure proper ventilation, stable gas pressure at the appliance inlet, and safe operation of all burner ports and oven thermostats. Our team handles both freestanding gas stoves and built-in oven installations, connecting them to your existing gas supply or installing new supply lines as needed. We test every function, verify flame appearance and stability across all burner settings, and check that oven thermostats maintain accurate temperatures. Gas ovens provide superior baking and roasting performance with moist heat that electric ovens struggle to replicate, and our installation ensures you get the full benefit of this cooking technology. We also provide advice on proper oven use and maintenance to maximise efficiency and extend the life of your appliance.
Gas Water Heaters & Geysers
Gas water heater and geyser installation with SANS-compliant safety systems for both storage tank and instantaneous (tankless) models. Gas water heating offers significant energy savings compared to electric geysers, typically reducing water heating costs by 40-60% depending on usage patterns. This is especially valuable during load shedding, when electric geysers cannot operate and families are left without hot water. Gas geysers provide hot water on demand regardless of the Eskom grid status. We install all major brands and sizes, from compact 10-litre instantaneous units for single bathrooms to high-capacity storage systems for larger homes. Our installations include proper flue termination, ventilation compliance, temperature and pressure relief valves, and all required safety devices. We ensure your gas geyser is correctly sized for your household's hot water demand, balancing flow rate requirements with gas supply capacity and budget considerations. Every installation is fully certified with a COC for complete legal compliance.
Gas Fireplaces & Heaters
Gas fireplace and space heater installation for cosy, efficient home heating that operates independently of the electricity grid. Gas heating provides instant warmth at the touch of a button, with none of the mess of wood fires or the expense of electric heaters. Our SAGA-registered practitioners install gas fireplaces, wall-mounted heaters, and freestanding gas heaters with full compliance certification. Every installation includes proper flue or balanced-flue termination, ventilation assessment, gas supply connection, and safety device verification. We work with leading brands and can advise on the best heating solution for your room size, layout, and aesthetic preferences. Gas fireplaces add value to your home and create a warm, inviting atmosphere that electric heaters cannot match. We ensure your gas heater is correctly sized for the space, properly ventilated, and fitted with all required safety features including oxygen depletion sensors and flame failure devices. A full COC is issued on every installation.
Gas Braais & Outdoor Living
Professional installation of gas braais, built-in barbecues, pizza ovens, and patio heaters for outdoor entertainment areas. Gas braais offer the authentic flame-grilled flavour of charcoal without the waiting time, mess, or ash cleanup. Our installations connect your outdoor gas appliances to your home's existing gas supply or to dedicated cylinder supplies positioned in compliant storage enclosures. We ensure all outdoor gas connections are weatherproofed and safe, with proper isolation valves for convenient operation and maintenance. Every outdoor gas installation complies with SANS 10087-1 requirements for external appliance positioning, gas hose routing, and cylinder storage. We issue a full COC covering all outdoor gas work, ensuring your entertainment area is both impressive and legal. Our team can also advise on the best layout for your outdoor kitchen or braai area, taking into account gas supply positioning, wind conditions, and entertaining flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
Is a COC required for home gas installations?
Yes, South African law requires a Certificate of Compliance (COC) for all gas installations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Pressure Equipment Regulations. This is not optional. The COC must be issued by an SAGA-registered gas practitioner and certifies that the installation complies with SANS 10087-1. Every installation we complete includes a COC, and we ensure you understand its importance for insurance coverage, property transfers, and legal compliance. Without a valid COC, your insurance company may reject any claim related to a gas incident, and you could face legal penalties under the OHSA.
How much does a domestic gas installation cost?
Costs vary depending on the scope of work. A standard gas hob installation typically ranges from R2,500 to R5,000 depending on whether a new gas line needs to be run and the complexity of the installation. Gas water heater installations range from R4,000 to R12,000 depending on the unit type and size. Full-house gas systems with multiple appliances are quoted individually. We provide free, no-obligation quotes with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Our quotation itemises equipment, labour, materials, and certification so you know exactly what you are paying for.
How long does a home gas installation take?
Most domestic gas installations are completed within a single day. A standard gas hob or stove installation typically takes 2 to 4 hours from start to finish. Gas water heater installations take 3 to 6 hours depending on the complexity of the flue system and pipework. More complex projects like whole-house gas systems with multiple appliances or new gas line installations from the meter may take 1 to 3 days. We provide estimated timelines with your quotation and keep you informed throughout the process.

Can you convert my electric stove to gas?
Yes, we frequently convert electric kitchen setups to gas for homeowners who want the superior cooking performance, energy cost savings, and load-shedding independence that gas provides. This involves running a new gas line to the appliance position, installing the gas hob or stove, connecting and pressure testing, and issuing the COC. In most cases the conversion can be completed within a single day. We also handle the removal and safe disposal of your old electric appliance if needed.
