Comparison FAQ
Queensland Gas Services is cheaper on average in this comparison, but the right answer depends on your specific gas fitting requirements including appliance type, pipework complexity, access conditions and whether compliance certification is included.
Whether the quote is connection-only or supply and install, the pipework run distance and complexity, whether a compliance certificate is included, and whether any permits or notifications are the fitter's responsibility usually affect the total cost more than a blended average. Always confirm what is and is not included before comparing.
