Have you ever noticed that the flames on your gas cooktop are burning yellow instead of the usual blue when you switch to using LPG as the gas supply? Well, let's talk about why this happens and why it's important to make sure your cooktop is all set up the right way.
In recent years, the global energy landscape has been undergoing a significant transformation as we move towards sustainable and renewable energy sources. With increasing concerns about climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy companies are transitioning to greener alternatives at a rapid pace. However, this transition does not mean that gas will disappear entirely from our lives. In fact, gas will continue to play a crucial role in our energy mix for the foreseeable future, especially in powering essential household appliances like cooktops and hot water systems.
Commercial kitchens are bustling environments with high volumes of gas usage, providing the necessary energy for cooking equipment and other appliances. With safety being of utmost importance in these settings, it is crucial to install an emergency shut-off valve for gas. In this article, we will explore what an emergency shut-off valve for gas is and why it is essential for commercial kitchens.
As a restaurant owner or chef, choosing the right cooking equipment for your commercial kitchen is crucial for delivering high-quality food and service to your customers. Among the many options available, gas cooktops stand out as the best choice for several reasons.
As the name suggests a “grease trap” captures all the grease flowing down a restaurant drain line before it goes into the council’s sewer mains.
Without such devices the congealed grease and fat would choke up sewers, cause major blockages and cause havoc especially in high density shopping districts.
There is an old wives tale that goes “When a LPG bottle is getting low you get a slight smell of gas.”
This is totally incorrect. If you can smell gas in your kitchen, at your bottles or anywhere - chances are you have a gas leak.

Hot water can be very dangerous for several reasons, mainly through scalding injuries and microbial issues. Licensed plumbers tackle these in various ways but mainly through the installation of tempering/thermostatic valves to control water delivery temperature and correct installation to ensure the deficient free operation of the water heating system to deter microbial growth.

In Oregon, USA local brewers have been experimenting with a new recipe for beer, made using sewage water.
Last year, the Hillsboro Clean Water Services (HCWS) in Oregon challenged home brewers to create a beer using 30 per cent sewage water. As part of the competition, which aimed to explore new ways of using treated water, brewers exchanged tap water for purified sewage water direct from the treatment plant.
I’m beginning to wonder if my aging water lines are ready to break. Should I have the pipes replaced before it happens?
You may have galvanized lines that are getting rusty and corroded. If you’re worried about it, we can come and do a pressure test on your plumbing or dig down in your yard to do a visual inspection of part of the line to see what’s going on. We can replace sections of pipe that are exposed to weather and have rusted, or sections of pipe that have deteriorated within walls etc. If corroded pipes are already leaking within wall cavities we can use leak detection equipment to pinpoint the leak.
