Gas Installers in Polokwane Done Right the First Time
Gas Specialist is a SAQCC-certified gas installation company based in Polokwane, serving homes and businesses within 250 km of Polokwane. We install gas geysers, hobs, stoves, fireplaces and full LP gas systems, and every job is issued with a legal Certificate of Compliance (CoC). No shortcuts, no unsafe work, no "we'll come back next week."
Most Gas Installations in Polokwane Aren't Actually Compliant
A gas installation is only legal if it's done by a SAQCC-registered installer and signed off with a Certificate of Compliance. Plenty aren't, and homeowners only find out when they try to sell, or when their insurer refuses to pay a claim.
Most people don't lie awake worrying about their gas installation. They should worry about who installs it. A bad gas job isn't a leaky tap: it's a fire risk, a voided insurance policy, and a house you legally can't sell. Get it right once, with someone certified, and you never think about it again.
Here's the uncomfortable part. Anyone can buy a spanner and a regulator. That doesn't make them a registered gas practitioner. When an uncertified install leaks, your insurance walks away - a CoC is what proves the work met SANS 10087 safety standards. And when you sell your home, the transfer attorney will ask for that certificate. If you don't have one, the sale stalls until you pay someone (like us) to inspect and re-certify the whole job. Cheap installers cost the most.
What We Install: Domestic and Commercial Gas Systems
We handle the full range of LP and natural gas work in Polokwane and within 250 km: gas geysers, hobs, stoves, braais, fireplaces, gas cages, bulk commercial supply, leak detection and ongoing maintenance, all to SANS 10087-1, -3 and -7.
Gas geyser installation
Endless hot water that doesn't care about load-shedding. An 18L unit covers one bathroom plus a kitchen tap; 24L covers two bathrooms; 30L covers three. Energy-efficient up to 90%, remote temperature control, and solar-compatible with a 3-way valve.
Gas hobs and stoves
Instant heat, precise control, and a kitchen that keeps cooking when Eskom doesn't. Cheaper to run than electric, and independent of the grid.
Gas fireplaces
Built-in, wall-mounted, freestanding or double-sided. Warmth and design in one, installed to spec.
Commercial and bulk installations
Restaurants, gas depots, poultry farms, road-tanker and cylinder filling. We're Licensed Gas Practitioners certified under SAQCC and LPGSA, working to SANS 10087-1, -3 and -7.
Maintenance and leak detection
Servicing, jet and combustion cleaning, and electronic leak detection for commercial sites that alarms and auto-shuts the gas supply.
Between services, our installation and safety guides cover LPG cylinder checks and protecting your geyser in freezing weather.
CoC inspections
Compliance certificates for sale, transfer or insurance, including inspection and re-certification of installations someone else got wrong.

What Goes Into Your Gas Installation Quote
What a domestic gas installation costs comes down to how many appliances you are running, how far the pipe has to travel, and whether a gas cage is needed. We price the job on site after seeing it. Every quote is free and fixed, with no surprises once work starts.
Price depends on distance from the cylinder to the appliance, how many appliances you're connecting, and whether a gas cage is required. A basic economy install (one hob, a single 9kg cylinder in a cupboard) sits at the low end. Multiple appliances on a dual external cylinder supply sit higher. We quote the real number up front, in writing, before we start. Get a free exact quote for your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on compliance, installation and what it costs to run gas properly. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
Yes. By law, any gas appliance installation must be done by a SAQCC-registered gas practitioner and signed off with a Certificate of Compliance. Uncertified work is illegal, unsafe, and voids your insurance.
What it costs depends on appliance count, pipe distance and whether a gas cage is needed. We quote on site once we have seen the job. Your quote is free, and it is fixed before any work starts.
It depends on the unit you choose and the install your home needs. As a sizing guide, an 18L unit covers one bathroom and a kitchen tap; a 30L covers three bathrooms. Ask for a quote and we will price the exact setup.
A CoC certifies your gas installation meets SANS safety standards. You need it for insurance claims, and it is legally required when selling or transferring a property. Keep it safe and give a copy to your insurer or transfer attorney.
Not for a standard domestic installation up to 100kg, a gas cage is not mandatory. It becomes compulsory for manifold systems above 2×2 and larger commercial setups. We'll tell you exactly what your installation requires.
You'll usually smell it (LP gas is deliberately odorised), hear a hiss, or see bubbles if you brush soapy water over a joint. If you suspect a leak, shut the cylinder valve, ventilate, avoid flames and switches, and call a certified installer. Commercial sites can add electronic leak detection that alarms and auto-shuts the gas supply.
Yes. Gas cooking and heating cut running costs significantly versus electric, and they keep working through load-shedding, because they don't depend on Eskom.
Yes. We're based in Polokwane and cover a 250 km radius from Polokwane.
