Welkom notes on gas appliances & installation
Tankless geysers and built-in hobs are common jobs in Riebeeckstad and St Helena, and a gas practitioner issues the CoC once the pipe is tested. Houses in Virginia and Odendaalsrus often have older gas installations, so buyers ask for a gas certificate before transfer. In Thabong, three panel heaters and 2 plate stoves are the usual buys; keep heaters in a room with fresh air.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Welkom
Welkom is the centre of the Free State goldfields, a planned town of wide streets and traffic circles surrounded by mine shafts, pans and maize farms. Gas use reflects that mix. Mine contractors and engineering shops in the Welkom industrial area and towards Virginia rent welding and cutting gases, while homes in Riebeeckstad, Flamingo Park and Thabong cook, heat water and warm rooms with LPG. Cylinders arrive by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and delivery reaches farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus. Free State winters are frosty, so indoor heaters need a ventilated room and should never burn overnight. Cylinder theft is a concern in parts of town, so ventilated, lockable cages are common.

- Homeowners: a gas log set replacing wood in the lounge fireplace of a family home
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: reception areas and boardrooms with a built in gas fire
