Frequently asked questions
Local answersWhat happens after I send a request?
We use the details to route the request by service, suburb and provider coverage, then pass it to a suitable local provider when there is a good fit.
Do you service outside of Launceston?
Yes. Some providers cover the Tamar Valley, Meander Valley, Northern Midlands, and nearby northern towns.
What should I include in my request?
Add photos only if they help explain the job; avoid sharing private documents or unsafe images.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Turn off gas if safe, avoid ignition sources, ventilate the area, do not use switches or flames, and call a licensed gas provider or emergency service directly. Do not wait for a quote-form response.
Do gas fitters also handle hot water systems?
Many licensed gas plumbers work on gas hot water systems. Electric and heat pump hot water jobs may also need electrical work, so include the unit type when requesting quotes.
Should hot water quotes include disposal?
Ask clearly. Removal of the old unit, valves, tempering, commissioning, electrical work, certificates and disposal may be separate.
When should I replace instead of repair hot water?
Replacement is worth comparing when the cylinder leaks, parts are expensive, faults keep returning, the unit is old, or the warranty has ended.
Should a gas or hot water quote include a certificate?
Ask whether testing, commissioning, compliance certificates, warranty paperwork, disposal and any required valve work are included before accepting the quote.
