Gasfitting refers to the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas systems and appliances, including gas stoves, heaters, hot water systems, and pipelines. Because gas is a combustible and potentially hazardous substance, it’s essential to ensure all gas work is completed by a licensed gasfitter. 

Licensed professionals are trained to comply with strict safety and regulatory standards, reducing the risk of gas leaks, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning. They use specialized tools to test for leaks and ensure connections are secure and systems function efficiently. 

Attempting DIY gas work is illegal in most areas and can void insurance policies. If you suspect a gas leak—marked by the smell of rotten eggs, hissing sounds near gas lines, or a sudden increase in gas bills—immediately turn off your gas supply at the meter and contact a licensed gasfitter to assess the issue.

 If your hot water doesn’t last as long as it should, there could be several underlying issues. For storage tank systems, sediment buildup in the tank is a common problem. Over time, minerals in the water settle at the bottom of the tank, reducing its capacity and insulating the heating element, making it less effective. The thermostat setting might also be too low, or the tank may be undersized for your household’s needs. For continuous flow systems, insufficient gas supply or a clogged water filter could be to blame. 

Older systems may also have worn-out parts, like a failing heating element or pressure relief valve. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and inspecting components, can help extend the life of your system and improve performance. If the problem persists, consulting a professional plumber can identify the root cause and recommend the best solution.
