Completion
Send the model details, the repair findings and any supplier response about the missing part. We check what replacing the whole appliance would involve before settling the scope. Stately covers Warkworth. Confirm the gas supply at your address, because the replacement needs to suit the actual fuel and installation.
Confirm what has stopped the repair
Gather the appliance model, serial number and the name or reference of the unavailable component. Include the technician’s written findings and any correspondence about sourcing it. Distinguish a discontinued component from a delayed order. That distinction helps frame the replacement discussion, rather than treating every supply delay as a reason to discard an appliance.
We review those records and assess the appliance before recommending work. A missing part alone is not a diagnosis. Ask for the proposal to explain why replacement is being discussed and which findings support that decision. Keep the original repair report with the replacement documents.
Specify the job the replacement must do
Describe how you use the appliance. For hot water, list the outlets you want served together and any problems you noticed before the breakdown. For cooking, record the bench opening and cooking preferences. For heating, explain which space the appliance serves and how you control it.
We use that brief to discuss a suitable replacement, then check its fuel specification against the supply at the address. Similar appearance or output is not enough to choose a model. Record the proposed make and model in the scope so everyone is discussing the same appliance, not a broad product category.

Check everything the appliance connects to
A complete proposal covers more than the appliance box. We check the gas connection, pipework and controls involved in the change. Where relevant, we also assess water connections, the flue, ventilation and the manufacturer’s installation requirements. Existing connections need assessment before they become part of the replacement plan.
Ask which items will remain, which need alteration and which will be removed. Include access to the appliance and any cabinetry or finishing work affected by removal. If another trade is needed, name that task in the proposal. This gives you a clear boundary between gasfitting and surrounding work.
Turn the assessment into an installation scope
The written scope should distinguish appliance supply, removal, connection alterations, installation and commissioning. Ask who orders the appliance and what must be confirmed before that order is placed. Keep proposed additions separate from the work needed to replace the failed appliance. This makes the decision easier to follow.
Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter. Check the practitioner on the PGDB register. Leave disconnection, gas connection changes and commissioning to the licensed gasfitter. During installation, we check the actual appliance requirements rather than relying on the previous unit’s arrangement. Discuss any changed scope before proceeding with that work.
Leave with instructions and the right records
At handover, ask us to explain the controls, normal operation and how to arrange servicing. Keep the appliance instructions, model details and completed work description together. The record should make clear what was installed and what happened to the old appliance, including any removal arrangements agreed in the scope.
WorkSafe requires a Gas Safety Certificate for connected gas work. General or high risk gasfitting also needs a Certificate of Compliance. For any service or repair component, request the applicable paperwork for the actual work. Keep these records with the replacement proposal so the next technician has useful background. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Warkworth
Should I buy a replacement while the part search continues?
Get the repair findings and proposed replacement scope first. Confirm the model, fuel type and connection requirements before ordering. Share any supplier deadline so the decision uses current information.
Can the replacement use the same position?
We assess that against the selected appliance’s installation requirements and the existing connections. Include the location in the proposal, with any alterations needed to use it.
What if I have already bought an appliance?
Send its full model number, fuel specification and installation instructions before arranging installation. We need to assess its suitability and explain the connection work involved.
