Perth gas fitting: a gas heater, connecting a house, and a stove
Installing a gas heater in Perth
Installing a flued gas heater is $315–$945 in our Perth table, and the compliance certificate is normally included in that price; a stand-alone compliance inspection and certificate is $160–$370.
Connecting gas to a Perth house
Our Perth table has no row for connecting a house to the gas network, so we don't publish that price. The nearest lines are a new gas line run at $525–$2,100, moving a gas meter at $630–$2,625 and converting appliances from LPG to natural gas at $420–$1,575.
A gas cooktop and oven in Perth
Our Perth table prices a gas cooktop installation at $160–$470 and a gas oven at $190–$525; both together come to $630 at the typical prices. Where a new run of gas line is needed to reach them, that is $525–$2,100.

What Affects Gas Fitting Costs in Perth
Licensed through Building and Energy
WA law requires all gasfitting work to be carried out by a person holding a licence issued by Building and Energy. Work done by anyone without one is illegal, can be held against you in an insurance claim, and is a genuine safety risk to the household. Building and Energy's online search takes a name or licence number, so check it before the fitter begins.
The Notice of Completion
When a WA gas job is done, the fitter lodges a Notice of Completion, a legal document they certify to say the installation is safe and compliant. Most quotes include it, but confirm that, and ask for the reference for your records. If an existing installation needs to be checked and certified on its own, for example when you buy a house, a stand-alone visit costs $160–$370.
Bayonets for heaters and barbecues
A bayonet is a wall or floor point that a portable heater or barbecue clicks into. Installed, one costs $260–$680, since pipe has to reach it from the meter or a nearby line. Perth homes are large, with 45.7% having four or more bedrooms against 34.8% nationally (ABS 2021 Census), so the run out to a far living room or the alfresco can be long; ask for the pipe length in writing.
Heating through wet winters
At the Perth Metro station July is both the wettest month, at 147.0 mm, and the coolest, with days averaging 18.5 °C and nights 8.1 °C (BOM averages). Many households heat a single living area: a portable heater runs off a bayonet, while a fixed flued heater, which vents its fumes outdoors, is $315–$945 installed.
Leaks and the ATCO network
ATCO runs the underground gas network serving more than 80% of the Perth metropolitan area. If you smell gas inside, leave the building and call its Gas Faults and Emergencies line, 13 13 52, staffed 24 hours. After the network has made things safe, a fitter traces and fixes faults in your own pipes and appliances for $210–$630.
Connecting a house to gas
Several Perth searches ask what it costs to connect a house to gas. The network charges its own connection fee; our table covers the fitter's side. A new line from the meter is $525–$2,100, moving the meter $630–$2,625, and switching two or three LPG appliances to natural gas $420–$1,575. Homes beyond the mains stay on LPG cylinders.
