Inspection & Assessment
Our certified gas installer inspects your existing gas system to ensure it meets the latest SANS safety standards. This includes checking pipework, regulators, appliances, and ventilation to identify any non-compliant items before certification.
Repairs & Upgrades (if required)
If your installation doesn’t meet current regulations, we’ll provide a quote to upgrade or repair it. This may involve replacing fittings, updating appliances, or modifying the setup to ensure full compliance and safe operation.
Issuing the Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
Once your system passes inspection and leak tests, we issue a Gas CoC, confirming your installation is safe and compliant. This certificate is legally required when selling or transferring property in South Africa.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a certified installer for a gas appliance?
Yes. In South Africa, all gas installations must be done by a SAQCC-registered gas installer and must include a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). If your suspicious, the installers photo will appear on the SAQCC website please view my details here.
What appliances can I connect to a gas supply at home?
You can connect a range of appliances, including gas hobs, braais, geysers, fireplaces, and generators, provided they are approved and installed correctly.
Is a gas installation safe?
Absolutely. When installed by a registered professional and maintained regularly, gas is a safe and reliable energy source.
Will my gas appliances work during load-shedding?

How often should my gas installation be serviced?
We recommend an annual service to ensure your system remains safe, efficient, and compliant with current regulations.
What is the SANS 10087-1:2024 standard?
It’s the South African National Standard that outlines safety and installation requirements for gas systems. All AVH Gas installations comply with this standard.
What type of gas is used for domestic installations?
We use LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) for domestic applications, which is safe, efficient, and readily available.
Can AVH Gas assist with maintenance or emergency repairs?
Yes. We offer ongoing support, including maintenance, fault-finding, and emergency call-outs to keep your system running safely.
