Thinking about installing a gas fire in your Tauranga or Bay of Plenty home? Here are some of the most common questions homeowners ask about gas fireplace installation, safety, maintenance, running costs, and what to expect during the process.
The cost to install a new gas fire in Tauranga or the Bay of Plenty typically depends on the type of fireplace, whether gas lines are already in place, flue requirements, and the complexity of the installation. A straightforward replacement will cost less than a full new installation with gas line upgrades and wall modifications. We provide clear, upfront quotes after assessing your home and heating goals.
No. In New Zealand, gas fireplaces must be installed by a licensed and certified gasfitter. This ensures the system is safe, compliant, and operating efficiently. DIY installation is not only unsafe but can also void warranties and insurance cover.
In many cases, a gas fire can be more cost-effective for heating larger living areas, especially if you already have a natural gas connection. Gas fires also produce stronger, more consistent heat output. Electric fires may have lower installation costs, but they are generally better suited for smaller spaces or decorative use.
A gas fire should be professionally serviced at least once a year to ensure it is operating safely and efficiently. Annual servicing typically includes checking gas pressure, inspecting burners and ignition systems, cleaning internal components, testing safety controls, and confirming the flue is clear and functioning correctly.
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your gas fireplace, maintain strong heat output, and reduce the risk of faults or gas leaks.
If you notice unusual smells, difficulty igniting, soot build-up, or reduced performance, it’s important to have it checked promptly by a certified gasfitter.
Installation time depends on the complexity of the job. A like-for-like replacement can often be completed within a day, while a new installation requiring gas line work or structural changes may take longer. After assessing your home, we can give you a clear timeframe so you know exactly what to expect.
