Because the secondhand and marketplace trade in appliances is enormous and the listing almost never mentions gas type. People buy a good appliance at a good price and only find out when the fitter arrives. It is the single most common wasted call-out we attend.

Everyone outside first. No light switches, nothing electrical, no phone used indoors. Turn the supply off at the meter only if you can reach it safely, then ring from outside.

An appliance connection is $200 to $500. An appliance conversion, where a kit exists, is $250 to $500 plus the kit. A new gas point is $500 to $1,200. A leak test and certificate is $180 to $350.
