Install Outdoor Gas Heating Safely in Brisbane
Looking to stay warm on the patio this winter? Our Brisbane plumbers provide outdoor gas heating installation services that let you enjoy your backyard even on cold nights. Whether it’s a wall mounted heater or a freestanding unit, we fit gas heating setups that are safe, reliable, and compliant with Queensland standards.
We install outdoor gas heaters across Brisbane and the greater area including the Northside Moreton Bay and surrounding areas. From new builds to existing outdoor spaces, we’ll help you choose the right setup and get it connected properly.
Why Brisbane Homes Use Outdoor Gas Heating
Brisbane winters are mild, but they still bring chilly nights especially in open outdoor areas like patios and decks. Electric heaters can be expensive to run and don’t always give enough heat. Gas heaters warm the space fast and keep energy bills low.
Outdoor gas heating is popular in Brisbane for things like:
- Covered decks and pergolas
- Outdoor dining areas
- Cafés and alfresco spaces
- Rental homes and investment properties
How Outdoor Gas Heating Works
Outdoor gas heaters connect to either LPG bottles or a natural gas line. They can be portable or fixed in place. We install gas bayonet fittings for portable setups and direct connections for fixed heaters. All gas work is done by our licensed gas fitters and includes full pressure testing and certification.
We’ll help you decide between:
- Wall-mounted heaters: great for patios or alfresco dining spaces
- Freestanding LPG heaters: portable and easy to store
- Ceiling-mounted models: ideal for high ceilings or pergolas
What’s Involved in the Installation
Installing outdoor gas heating isn’t just about plugging in a heater. It needs a safe connection point, proper ventilation, and a setup that follows local rules. Here’s what’s included in our install service:
- On site inspection and quote
- Gas line installation or connection to LPG
- Installing bayonet fittings or direct plumbing
- Pressure testing and leak checks
- Gas compliance certificate
Where Can Outdoor Gas Heating Be Installed?
Gas heaters must be installed in a well ventilated outdoor space. They can’t be used indoors or in enclosed patios without proper airflow. We’ll assess the space and confirm if your area is suitable. Most covered patios, verandas, and alfresco kitchens are ideal.
Good installation areas include:
- Backyard decks and pergolas
- Undercover entertaining areas
- Enclosed outdoor kitchens with ventilation
- Balconies with open sides
Safety Comes First
Gas heating needs to be installed correctly to avoid fire risks and gas leaks. We follow Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601 and the Gas Supply Act to make sure everything is done by the book. After installation, we issue a gas certificate and lodge your job with the QBCC.
We also show you how to safely operate and maintain your heater, including how to connect/disconnect LPG bottles and what to do if you smell gas.
Common Questions About Outdoor Gas Heating
Here are some quick answers to questions we get from Brisbane locals:
- Can I use my existing BBQ gas line for heating? - Sometimes, yes. We’ll check the line capacity and install a dual connection if it’s safe.
- What’s the best heater type for a small patio? - Wall mounted gas heaters are compact and effective for smaller spaces.
- Do I need council approval? - Not usually for residential properties, but we follow all local and state gas rules.
- Is it safe to leave the heater connected? - If it’s installed with a shutoff valve, yes, but we always recommend turning off the gas when not in use.
Can You Use LPG or Natural Gas?
We install heaters for both LPG and natural gas. If your home uses LPG bottles, we’ll connect it to a safe outdoor bayonet point. If you have natural gas, we can run a new line from your mains and add a shutoff valve. We also supply dual-fuel heaters in some cases.
Do You Need a Plumber or a Gas Fitter?
For outdoor gas heating, you’ll need a licensed gas fitter. Our team is fully licensed for both plumbing and gas, so we handle the whole job from the gas line to the final pressure test. Don’t risk DIY gas work, it’s illegal and unsafe in Queensland.
How Long Does the Job Take?
Most installations take a few hours. If we’re running a new gas line, it may take longer depending on access and pipe length. We’ll give you a clear quote and time estimate up front before we start work.
