What are the different kinds of gas fireplaces?

Generally, there are 3 broad kinds of gas fireplaces to choose from – inserts, log sets, and built-ins. The insert is a log sitting inside a metal box that sits inside a bigger metal box.

It is ‘inserted’ into a wall and does not protrude outwards. They can be vented or ventless.

Log sets are the most affordable choice, being a set of logs that sits inside your existing fireplace with a gas connection in the center. Much of the heat does up the flue, unfortunately.

Built-ins are similar to inserts except there is no pre-existing fireplace to slot into. Most gas fireplaces will have logs in the center, but there are other options, such as coal, glass, or stone.

Of course, all of these materials are fake, made of a heat resistant material and designed for aesthetic appeal.

What are the benefits of gas fireplace installation in Melbourne?

A gas fireplace has a myriad of benefits. It can increase home value dramatically if you are adding a completely new fireplace. It can provide an efficient means to heat your home, cutting down on electricity costs. An open fire is about 25% efficient at converting fuel to heat, compared to the 50 – 90% offered by gas fireplaces. And it will add a considerable level of aesthetic appeal to your home. There is something timeless about a well-installed gas fireplace.

Can I install the fireplace myself?

In Victoria (and practically every other state and municipality) it is illegal to work on any kind of gas appliance without a licence. There are significant fines in place for those who work with gas appliances without the proper licensing. And this stands to reason – gas can be extremely dangerous for those without the expertise, experience, licensing, and qualifications. Thankfully, at Reed Plumbing, we have all of these components to ensure a smooth install.

Can plumbers work with gas appliances?

Gas plumbers are responsible for installing, extending, and repairing natural gas lines and installing associated appliances. Gas plumbers are speciality plumbers that need to get a specific licence. Our speciality gas plumbers at Reed Plumbing & Drainage have the skills and expertise to complete gas fireplace installation in Melbourne. We know all of the codes and regulations surrounding gas fireplace installation.

What does a gas plumber do?

Licensed gas plumbers typically complete the following roles:

Install, repair, and replace gas appliances.
Install gas bottles (including regulators, changeover valves, pigtails, and gas lines).
Install and repair gas flue pipes (important promoting healthy household ventilation).
Install gas detection systems.
Conduct leak testing and repairs.

What is the difference between a gas plumber and a gas fitter?

Though not commonly understood, there is a difference between a gas plumber and a gas fitter. In fact, there are different standards and different qualifications for each.

To make matters a little confusing, many contractors will offer both gas fitting and gas plumbing. At Reed Plumbing & Drainage, we have licensed and insured gasfitters and licensed and insured gas plumbers.

Either way, the installation of your brand new gas fireplace in Melbourne is covered by our level of expertise.

Today, I had the pleasure of using Reed Plumbing and Drainage for a gas pipe job , and I couldn't be happier with the service I received, particularly from Jordan Walsh . From start to finish, my experience was outstanding, and Jordan’s friendly and professional approach made all the difference.First and foremost, the fact that they were able to accommodate an urgent next day appointment for the gas work was a lifesaver. It's not often you find a company that can respond so quickly to urgent plumbing needs. Their responsiveness already set a positive tone for the entire experience.When Jordan arrived, he greeted me with a warm and friendly demeanor. His knowledge and expertise were evident from the get-go, instilling confidence in the job he was about to undertake.Throughout the process, Jordan maintained a high level of professionalism. He worked efficiently and meticulously, ensuring that everything was installed correctly and functioning perfectly. I could tell he genuinely cared about the quality of his work and the satisfaction of his customers.What truly stood out, though, was Jordan’s willingness to go the extra mile. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and wants to ensure his customers are well-informed and happy with the results.In addition to his technical skills, Jordan’s friendly and approachable nature made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. He treated my home with respect, cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done.I highly recommend Reed Plumbing and Drainage , and I can't say enough good things about Jordan. Thanks to Jordan for exceeding my expectations and restoring calm to my home.

I am extremely happy with the high quality and professional service provided. The cost is explained to you from when you make an appointment and in detail after the work is completed. The two very hard working plumbers who carried out the plumbing work, Daniel and T.J were very lovely, down to earth, so kind and everything was explained in detail. This company is now my go to for any plumbing repairs.

Tom and Harley from Reed Plumbing and Drainage Solutions were exemplary throughout the process of fixing a major blockage from a previous sewer stack issue in the property. I was super impressed with their work ethic, professionalism, and ability to fix this issue as it was quite an unsettling situation.Tom and Harley’s expertise of what the problem was and how it was to be fixed, allowed me to be stress free and confident for a positive result. I also appreciated the extensive reporting in an email provided for background knowledge.I could not have had a more positive experience with Tom and Harley, highly recommend them as the best plumbers to use and deserve to be commended, rewarded and recognised for above and beyond efforts!

I am a renter who woke up to a waterfall in my living room at 0300. On a Saturday morning these guys responded within 30mins and provided a professional and thorough service. He was polite, understanding of the inconvenience this caused and appeared to do a thorough job. Given most customer service or service providers seem of fairly low standard these days, I am very grateful to have had a positive experience today. Thank you very much.
