What to know locally in Pretoria
Many older houses in Muckleneuk, Arcadia and Waterkloof Ridge have a wood fireplace, and converting it to a gas log set or a flued insert is a common request. That job, like a built in hob or a gas geyser, needs a gas practitioner registered with SAQCC Gas and a CoC. In Faerie Glen and Moreleta Park, stoep braais with a side burner and patio heaters are popular for cold evenings outdoors.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Pretoria
Pretoria's LPG comes by road to depots and dealers around Pretoria West, Rosslyn and Silverton, and from there to refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the city. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside cook on two plate gas cookers with a 5 kg or 9 kg cylinder, while families in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood run gas hobs, braais and tankless geysers. Winter mornings in the east of the city are frosty and gas heaters come out in June, so ventilation matters. Factories in Rosslyn run LPG forklifts. Older houses in Arcadia and Muckleneuk often have a wood fireplace that owners want to convert to gas, which is an installation that needs a CoC.
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
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: reception areas and boardrooms with a built in gas fire
