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 Pretoria and nearby areas of Gauteng.
Gas Patio Heaters in Pretoria

Pretoria notes on gas appliances & installation
Many older houses in Muckleneuk, Arcadia and Waterkloof Ridge have a wood fireplace, and converting it to a gas log set or a flued insert is a common request. That job, like a built in hob or a gas geyser, needs a gas practitioner registered with SAQCC Gas and a CoC. In Faerie Glen and Moreleta Park, stoep braais with a side burner and patio heaters are popular for cold evenings outdoors.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Pretoria
Pretoria's LPG comes by road to depots and dealers around Pretoria West, Rosslyn and Silverton, and from there to refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the city. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside cook on two plate gas cookers with a 5 kg or 9 kg cylinder, while families in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood run gas hobs, braais and tankless geysers. Winter mornings in the east of the city are frosty and gas heaters come out in June, so ventilation matters. Factories in Rosslyn run LPG forklifts. Older houses in Arcadia and Muckleneuk often have a wood fireplace that owners want to convert to gas, which is an installation that needs a CoC.
Typical gas patio heaters requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: outdoor smoking and break areas warmed on cold mornings
Local tips for Pretoria
Most asked for in Pretoria: small cylinders for student flats, gas hobs and geysers in the eastern suburbs. Where dealers and installers work from: dealers and refill stations in Pretoria West, Silverton, Hatfield and Menlyn. A useful tip: ask whether a wood fireplace can be converted and if the chimney can be reused.
Gas Patio Heaters usually suits stoeps, terraces, restaurants and venues, and works like this: burner on a pole fed by a cylinder below. For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means a mushroom heater on the stoep for winter lunches and evening braais. On the weather side: frosty winter mornings in the east; hot summers, keep cylinders out of direct sun.
