What to know locally in Cape Town
Gas fireplaces are a popular winter install in Newlands, Rondebosch and Constantia, where older houses have chimneys that can be fitted with a gas insert; the gas practitioner checks the flue and issues a Certificate of Conformity. Sea Point and Green Point restaurants often run patio heaters for winter evenings. Gas geysers in Claremont and Kenilworth go on an outside wall away from bedroom windows.
Cape Town: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Cape Town winters are wet, windy and cold, and many homes rely on gas heaters and fireplaces from May to September, alongside the gas hobs and geysers fitted during load shedding. LPG arrives by road from depots near the harbour and the northern industrial areas to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the metro. Restaurants in the City Bowl, Sea Point and the Waterfront run gas ranges and patio heaters, and warehouses in Epping and Montague Gardens use forklift gas. Salt air along the Atlantic seaboard and the False Bay coast rusts cylinders and cages, and the south-easter can topple loose cylinders, so stand them in a cage on a firm base.
Who asks for gas patio heaters around Cape Town, most often first:
- Homeowners: a mushroom heater on the stoep for winter lunches and evening braais
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurant terraces and coffee shop decks heated through the winter
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: patio heaters on garden units and balconies where the rules allow gas
