Send Stately the proposed heater model, its location and details of your other gas appliances. Stately covers Glen Innes as part of its Auckland coverage. The first step is to establish whether the supply and proposed branch can serve the heater alongside the appliances you already use.
Start with the heater and heating pattern
A pool heater adds a different demand from a cooking appliance. Give the gasfitter the manufacturer’s model information, including its gas type and rated input. Explain whether you want occasional heating before a swim or regular heating through the week. That helps keep the discussion tied to the appliance you intend to buy.
Identify other appliances likely to run while the pool heats, especially hot water equipment. Confirm whether the address uses reticulated gas or LPG. A separate branch still draws from the same upstream supply, so branching off earlier alone will not resolve a supply constraint.
Check the shared supply before choosing the branch
We check the proposed heater demand against the existing appliance load, supply arrangement and pipework. For LPG, that includes assessing the cylinder and regulator arrangement for the intended draw. For a reticulated supply, the available supply details need checking at the address. Bring any existing gas installation records to the discussion.
Ask for the proposed connection point to be explained in plain terms. The useful question is not simply whether another outlet can be added. It is whether the shared pipework and new branch are suitable when the intended appliances operate together. Record any required upstream changes separately in the scope.

Agree the route before landscaping closes access
Mark the proposed heater position on a plan or clear photographs. Show paths, decks, planting areas and planned paving along the possible branch route. Tell the gasfitter which surfaces are already finished and which areas remain accessible. This makes the discussion about installation access concrete before anyone commits to a route.
The installer checks the actual heater’s positioning, ventilation, flue and clearance requirements against its instructions and applicable requirements. Coordinate that position with the pool contractor’s water connections and the electrician’s work. Keep responsibility for each connection clear. Do not treat a tidy equipment layout as approval for the gas installation.
Define the gas work and trade boundaries
The agreed gas scope should identify the branch connection, pipe route, heater connection and any changes to the existing gas installation. Separate those items from pool plumbing, electrical work and landscaping reinstatement. That gives you a clearer basis for approving changes if the preferred heater location or appliance selection moves.
Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter. Check the person’s authorisation on the PGDB register. Leave gas connections and alterations to that person. If existing pipework needs repair, ask for the repair scope to be recorded alongside the new branch work, rather than folded into an unexplained variation.
Keep branch details with the heater records
At handover, ask the gasfitter to explain the branch arrangement, relevant controls and completed testing. Keep the heater instructions, installation details and paperwork together. Record the pipe route before landscaping conceals it, and retain that information for future work around the pool equipment area.
Connected gas work needs a Gas Safety Certificate. General or high risk gasfitting also needs a Certificate of Compliance. For any service or repair included in the visit, the paperwork must match the actual work. Ask which documents cover the branch installation and which cover any separate repair. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Glen Innes
Can the pool heater branch come from my barbecue outlet?
That needs an assessment of the outlet, upstream pipework and combined appliance demand. Send both appliance model details. An existing outlet is not enough information to choose the connection point.
Should I buy the pool heater before arranging gasfitting?
Choose a proposed model first, then have its gas requirements and location checked before purchase. Include an alternative model if you are still deciding, so the branch discussion uses real appliance inputs.
What happens if I change the heater location later?
Tell the gasfitter before installation proceeds. A different position can change the branch length, route and connection arrangement. Update the plan shared with the pool contractor and electrician too.

I had the team come out to install a gas hot water system for me recently and it was an absolute pleasure to have these guys come out and do some work for me. The response time from me requesting the work, to the work being completed, was the best I have ever had! They showed up on time, the communication was great, they are super efficient and they did a top quality job! Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend these guys!
