How to Choose a Good Gas Fitter in Geelong
Verify the licence
Check the VIC licensing register before hiring. Unlicensed gas fitters cannot legally do this work — and your insurance may not cover unlicensed work.
Get a written quote
Always get a written quote that separates labour and materials. An itemised quote lets you compare properly and prevents scope creep.
Read real reviews
Look for gas fitters with recent reviews (last 6 months) from Geelong or nearby suburbs. Generic or suspiciously positive reviews without detail are a red flag.
Confirm insurance
Ask for proof of public liability insurance (minimum $5 million) before any work starts. Licensed gas fitters always carry insurance.
