Gas appliances & installation in Newcastle: local notes
Gas heaters and fireplaces are asked about more here than on the coast, especially in Newcastle central and Lennoxton, where older houses have open fireplaces that can be converted. A gas practitioner must check the flue and issue a Certificate of Conformity for a built-in fireplace. Gas geysers on outside walls in Amiel Park and Aviary Hill are common, with the cylinders kept clear of drains.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Newcastle
Newcastle sits in the north of KwaZulu-Natal near the Free State and Mpumalanga borders, where winters are cold and dry and frost on the farms is normal. That makes heater gas a large part of household demand, alongside cooking and geysers in homes that moved to gas during load shedding. LPG travels a long way by road, along the N11 and from inland depots, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores in town, with delivery out to Madadeni and Osizweni. The steel, chemical and textile industries keep welding gas and forklift gas in demand. Keep heaters in ventilated rooms, never in a bedroom overnight, and lock cylinders away from yards.
