LPG Gas Hob Installation for Homes and Renovations

Many Auckland homeowners upgrade from electric to gas for better cooking performance, but new hobs must be installed safely and to code. Poor installation risks gas leaks, fire hazards, or failed inspections, so a licensed gasfitter is essential.

Flowpro provides certified LPG gas hob installation for both new kitchens and replacements for kitchen renovations. Our licensed team follows manufacturer specifications and New Zealand regulations, checking clearances, ventilation, and connections before commissioning each hob.

Every job includes full leak testing, flame adjustment, and compliance certification. With over 15 years of experience, Flowpro ensures your hob is installed safely, legally, and ready for everyday use.

Safety and Compliance Requirements for LPG Hobs

LPG hobs must only be installed by a licensed gasfitter. Both New Zealand regulations and manufacturer manuals specify that an authorised person must complete the installation to prevent carbon monoxide risks, fire hazards, or appliance failure.

Key compliance and safety requirements include:

  • Licensed Gasfitter Only: Installation must be carried out by a certified professional. DIY or unlicensed work is illegal and unsafe.
  • Manufacturer Clearances: Follow strict rules for overhead and side distances from combustible materials, bench thickness, and safe cabinetry design.
  • Proper Ventilation: Adequate airflow around the hob is required to prevent gas buildup and ensure safe combustion.
  • Commercial Kitchen Compliance: For restaurants and cafes, installations must meet additional ventilation, fire suppression, and commercial gas appliance standards.
  • Restricted Areas: Gas hobs cannot be installed in bathrooms or bedrooms under NZ regulations.
  • Commissioning & Testing: Leak testing, burner adjustment, and flame stability checks must be completed before sign-off.
  • Compliance Certification: A gas compliance certificate is issued after testing, confirming the installation meets NZ standards and manufacturer specifications.

At Flowpro, we follow every regulation and manufacturer requirement to the letter. Our licensed gasfitters manage the process from installation to certification, ensuring your LPG hob is safe, compliant, and fully approved for everyday use.

LPG Gas Hob Installation FAQs

Yes, a licensed gasfitter is required to install any LPG hob in New Zealand. Manufacturer manuals clearly state that only authorised installers can carry out the work to ensure safety and compliance.

A licensed professional will connect the appliance, test for leaks, and commission it according to standards. Without certification, your insurance and council compliance could be invalid.

At Flowpro, our licensed gasfitters handle the entire process and provide full documentation on completion.

Every hob model comes with specific requirements for bench cut-out dimensions, minimum bench thickness, and overhead or side clearances. Some models also require non-combustible panels above cupboards or drawers for added safety.

These details are always listed in the manufacturer’s installation manual. Installing without the correct clearances can create safety hazards and fail compliance checks.

Our team at Flowpro reviews your manual and ensures everything is ready before the hob is fitted.

A standard like-for-like LPG hob installation usually takes a few hours. If the gas supply and cabinetry are already prepared, the work can often be completed in two to three hours. More complex jobs, such as new installations with extra pipework or adjustments, can take longer.

Regardless of the job size, the process includes testing, commissioning, and certification. Flowpro always provides clear timeframes upfront so you know what to expect.

Yes, we install both LPG and natural gas hobs as long as the appliance is compatible with the fuel type. Many hobs come with interchangeable injectors to match LPG or natural gas, and these must be set up correctly.

Our licensed gasfitters commission the appliance, adjust burner pressure, and check flame stability during installation. This ensures safe and efficient operation with the correct gas type. Flowpro provides full compliance documentation so your installation is both safe and certified.
