Bloemfontein notes on gas appliances & installation
Converting a wood fireplace to a gas log set is a popular winter job in Fichardt Park and Waverley; the installer checks the flue and issues a CoC for the piped work. Townhouse complexes in Langenhoven Park often have body corporate rules on where cylinders and geysers may go. In Heidedal and Mangaung, three panel heaters and 4 plate stoves are the steady buys; open a window a little and switch off before bed.
Bloemfontein: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Bloemfontein has some of the sharpest winters of any South African city, with hard frost on clear mornings and hot, stormy summers. Gas heaters, gas fireplaces and gas stoves are common in houses in Brandwag, Langenhoven Park and Fichardt Park, and many homes added a gas geyser during load shedding. LPG reaches the city by road on the N1 and N8 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery services running exchanges across Mangaung. Restaurants and takeaways along Second Avenue in Westdene cook on gas, and farms around Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp use it in farmhouses and for brooders. Winter is the main caution: ventilate any indoor heater and never sleep with one on.
Typical gas patio heaters requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a mushroom heater on the stoep for winter lunches and evening braais
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: patio heaters on garden units and balconies where the rules allow gas
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurant terraces and coffee shop decks heated through the winter
