SubscriberBuying a 'new' houseand it currently has an electric cooktop, and we would MUCH prefer gas.
Anyone have any idea of the ballpark cost for a fitter to instal the necessary plumbing on a typical single storey brack and tile house? (Just the piping etc as required, not the cost of the cooktop itself)
Initially for cooktop only, possibly for water heater down the track (if the current electric one ever craps itself)

SupporterGas fitter charged me $440inc.
I supplied the stove, he ran a 1/2 inch copper line out to a regulator and valve to switch between two bottles. I use 9kg bottles and go nearly 5 months on a bottle, not bad for $19.95 swap and go. I went solar for HWS.
Cost would depend on site. Mine is a raised house, line comes throught the floor and under house, approx 6m.

SubscriberThanks harlie. - Why'd you go solar rather than gas for hot water?
Inc the bloke I rang said he couldn't (or wouldn't) give me an idea without looking - even though I told him I just wanted an idea not a quote....

Because over a number of years solar hot water with a booster for bad weather works out very economical, also if you get a large enough solar panel as well as the hot water system,you can sell it back to Energex, I have a friend that does it,I think his last electricity bill was $36.50 for the quarter.

if the cylinder can be on the other side of the wall from your cooktop than it will be bugger all i.e. a couple of hours.
are you planning gas hot water later, if so go 50kg cylinders
do you have natual gas running up the street.....umm this would be expensive cutting into th eline
what will make it cheaper if its only a cook top
- pull the old cook top out
- you install the cook top into the bench
- shop around for the cheapest gas in 9kg's i.e. buy your own cylinders, swap and go or rent from gas company
other than that but a BBQ on and ranga and I will pop around and we can install over a couple of beers

SubscriberIt'd be bottled LPG.
Kitchen is at rear so there would be no easy access for any 3rdparty coming to swap / refill cylinders....
I also thought there were rules around how far from a door / window a gas cylinder / line can be ?

We retired our instant LPG water heater 5 years ago as it was costing us a fortune. Heat pump or full solar is now the way to go. If you have a good quality ground level HWS tank you can now run a DC pumped system to have the panels remote mounted on the roof, it all runs off a 20W panel next to the HWS panels.
Example: Sidek Solar (not ours but similar)
But the missus still prefers to cook with gas so we have a couple of our own 27kg cylinders and an arrangement with the local gas wholesaler to fill them.
