Ask for a site visit to check the chimney or flue route and where cylinders can stand outside. Winter nights in parts of Western Cape make the autumn months the busy season.
The main gas fireplaces page explains the equipment, the rules and the costs in more detail.
Cape Town notes on gas appliances & installation
Gas fireplaces are a popular winter install in Newlands, Rondebosch and Constantia, where older houses have chimneys that can be fitted with a gas insert; the gas practitioner checks the flue and issues a Certificate of Conformity. Sea Point and Green Point restaurants often run patio heaters for winter evenings. Gas geysers in Claremont and Kenilworth go on an outside wall away from bedroom windows.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Cape Town
Cape Town winters are wet, windy and cold, and many homes rely on gas heaters and fireplaces from May to September, alongside the gas hobs and geysers fitted during load shedding. LPG arrives by road from depots near the harbour and the northern industrial areas to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the metro. Restaurants in the City Bowl, Sea Point and the Waterfront run gas ranges and patio heaters, and warehouses in Epping and Montague Gardens use forklift gas. Salt air along the Atlantic seaboard and the False Bay coast rusts cylinders and cages, and the south-easter can topple loose cylinders, so stand them in a cage on a firm base.
Typical gas fireplaces requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a gas log set replacing wood in the lounge fireplace of a family home
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: a gas fireplace warming a restaurant dining room on winter evenings
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: wall mounted gas fires in townhouses where wood smoke is not allowed
