Gas appliances are only as safe as the way they are connected: the regulator, the hose or pipe, the cylinder position and the certificate all count. Send one request with what you have and what you need, and we pass it to gas appliance suppliers and installers who work in towns and cities across Eastern Cape.

Gas in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from a windy, salty coastline to cold Karoo plateaus and the mountains of the former Transkei. LPG arrives through the ports and by road to dealers and refill stations in Gqeberha, East London, Mthatha and the smaller towns. Motor component factories around Gqeberha and East London use LPG forklifts and welding gas, while holiday towns like Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred see gas cooking and braais in season. Inland, Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Queenstown get hard frost, so heaters and fireplaces are common. Sheep and dairy farms rely on scheduled delivery. Coastal wind and salt rust cylinders and cages, so check valves and collars before every refill.
Typical gas patio heaters requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a mushroom heater on the stoep for winter lunches and evening braais
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: outdoor smoking and break areas warmed on cold mornings
- Farms and smallholdings: wine farm tasting terraces warmed for visitors in cooler months
