Gas Stoves & Hobs in Johannesburg
Gas stove quotes in Johannesburg come from appliance suppliers and registered installers who connect hobs to cylinders, often through the wall from outside. Ask whether the price includes delivery, the regulator and hose, and the CoC for a piped connection. In complexes across Gauteng check where the body corporate allows a cylinder first.

Johannesburg notes on gas appliances & installation
Older houses in Parkhurst, Emmarentia and Kensington often have a freestanding gas stove fed through the wall from a cylinder outside, and many owners now want a tankless geyser on an outside wall as well. Any piped work needs a gas practitioner registered with SAQCC Gas and a CoC. Restaurants along 7th Street in Melville and in Maboneng ask for patio heaters and built in hobs, and landlords in Braamfontein ask about certificates.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its LPG by road from filling plants and depots on the East Rand and in the south, then through dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies that work suburb by suburb. Many older houses in Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington moved cooking to gas during load shedding, often with a 9 kg cylinder beside a freestanding stove, and some added a tankless geyser later. In inner city flats in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville, a 9 kg carried up the stairs runs a two plate cooker and a heater in winter. Restaurants on 7th Street and in Maboneng run 48 kg cylinders in cages. Cold Highveld nights push heater use, so keep rooms ventilated.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a 4 plate gas hob piped through the wall from a cylinder outside
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: takeaways and small cafes cooking on gas hobs when the power goes off
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: tabletop or built in hobs where the body corporate approves cylinder positions

When you ask for quotes, ask whether the dealer carries cylinders up to flats and what an exchange includes.
