Gas appliances & installation in Worcester: local notes
Gas heaters and fireplaces get heavy use in Worcester central and Paglande on frosty winter nights, and a built-in fireplace needs a registered gas practitioner and a Certificate of Conformity. Farmhouses near Rawsonville and Brandvlei often add a gas geyser. Guest houses along High Street and on the wine route commonly use gas hobs and patio heaters.
Worcester: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Worcester is the centre of the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains that often carry snow in winter, with hot, dry summers and cold, frosty nights. Gas is used in town homes for cooking, geysers and heaters, and on the vineyards and fruit farms toward Rawsonville and the Hex River Valley for farmhouses, packsheds and worker housing. LPG comes in by road on the N1 from depots near Cape Town, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with farm delivery on set days. Packhouses, cellars and food factories use forklift gas. In summer keep cylinders shaded and never in a hot bakkie cab, and in winter keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
Typical gas compliance certificates requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a gas CoC for transfer when a house with a gas hob or geyser is sold
- Farms and smallholdings: farmhouse and brooder gas lines checked and certified when changes are made
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: factory canteens and process burners inspected by a registered practitioner
