Gqeberha notes on gas appliances & installation
Gas geysers in Walmer and Lorraine need a sheltered outside wall, as gusts off the bay can blow out the flame on an exposed one; ask the installer about wind and the flue. Built-in braais and gas fireplaces in Fairview and Theescombe need a Certificate of Conformity. Restaurants along Marine Drive and in Richmond Hill often add patio heaters behind wind screens.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is the windy city, and the steady wind off Algoa Bay carries salt a long way inland, so cylinders, valves, regulators and cage hinges rust faster than in drier towns. LPG reaches the metro by road and through the port area, and is sold by dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services in most suburbs. Homes in Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park cook and heat water with gas, restaurants on the beachfront run gas ranges, and the motor component plants and warehouses in Struandale, Deal Party and Markman use forklift and welding gas. Strong wind can also blow out pilot lights and patio heaters, so place outdoor appliances with care.
Typical gas stoves and hobs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 4 plate gas hob piped through the wall from a cylinder outside
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: staff canteens and tea rooms with a gas hob as backup
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: takeaways and small cafes cooking on gas hobs when the power goes off
